I've looking at the TC electronics shaker and the Malekko vibrato. I don't really need the chorus part since I don't like it at all. Are there better alternatives?
Thanks!

On the used market, I regularly see the fantastic Diamond Vibrato at or below $200 US. Fantastic tone; fat or fatter, lots of control but easily dialed in, chorus if you want it, but you can take it completely out, and expression controls. Downsides for me were the power needs (24V center positive) and the size (approx two Boss singles side by side).
Amazing pedal, tho.

I don't think I could do 24V since I really need all the outputs on my PP2. Thanks anyway!

Let me correct myself; it runs perfectly at 18V c+. I ran it with no problems off of my PP2. You just need a center positive cable which you can get directly from Voodoo. Sorry, man; need more coffee apparently :)

No problemo! I would love to find one that does 9V but if that's the best one for the price I might have to consider it, thanks!

You can get a Cool Cat Vibe pedal for about $40 bucks. Turn the "Mix" knob to "100% wet" (i.e. none of the original signal) and you have pitch vibrato. Apparently this works with any faux-Univibe that has a mix knob. Depending on how much pitch vibrato you need, this may meet your needs.
