Anybody got a good suggestion for a mid-priced vibe pedal?
Kind of new to the whole vibe thing...looking for some recommendations. Preferably priced below $200 (does that sound fair??)

-Switchable between chorus and tremolo effect
-controls for volume, intensity, and maybe an expression knob?

Any suggestion is appreciated .

I've got the Voodoo Lab Micro Vibe. Great-sounding pedal. It doesn't have the bells and whistles you describe, but it's a great pedal nonetheless.

Pickle Vibe. Basic only no mod. I don't think you can find a new vibe w/the chorus/trem switch for under 2 bills.

Under 2 bills the best full features vibe is a used Mini Deja Vibe but it still has no expression out...

I don't mind too much about the expession control. Nice feature...but as I said, kind of new so don't want to get in over my head.

Thanks for the suggestions so far. Keep em comin if there any more.

You can pickup a MDV for $180-190 used but still in great shape...there are several listed on this forum right now.

I use an MDV and love it, and I am not a Fulltone fan at all but Mike got it right with that one for sure!

BBE Soul Vibe is a good sounding, cheap (cheaper anyhoo) vibe. True bypass too.

if you want a UniVibe type pedal that has phaser and rotating speaker tones ala Gilmour and Trower, the BBE Soul Vibbe is an outstanding value.

For a pedal that switches between chorus and vibrato that gets a rotating speaker sound, albeit different from a true vibe pedal, the BBE Mind Bender might be what you are seeking. It was designed by the Hellecasters' Will Lee.
