Midnight Vibe

Midnight Vibe

The Midnight Vibe (version V3) is my take on the legendary original Uni-Vibe circuit in its various forms over the years it was in production (Honey, Unicord, Shin Ei). I offer three specifications of the circuit which includes ‘68, ‘69, and Hybrid or “transitional” spec.

AVAILABLE SPECIFICATIONS:

'68 Spec: The ‘68 spec delivers the chewiest most organic, liquid bottom end feel while still retaining a nice definition on top. It offers a higher available top speed and reacts with more wild intensity at faster settings. This version is great for Hendrix style tones such as the Band Of Gypsys and the 1970 tour tones like “Hey Baby” at Copenhagen.

'69 Spec: The ‘69 spec provides a smoother, clearer and more controlled feel. It has a slower overall speed range and produces a very fluid and articulate sweep. This version is perfect for players who prefer the tones of David Gilmour, Robin Trower, Mike McCready and who want a more refined and vocal character with excellent clarity. 

Hybrid: The Hybrid or “transition” spec. takes the overall tonality and response of the ‘69 spec. (smooth, refined, clear) and adds the higher top speed capability of the ‘68 spec. This spec is great for Hendrix at Maui or Woodstock tones.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:

• 7mm LDR CdS Photocells chosen and matched for the correct response.
• Premium transistors chosen for the correct gain range and performance.
• 100% hand-wired, hand soldered circuitry including the full sized exact replica of the original circuit board.
• 100% analog circuit.
• NOS Japanese made C2-V incandescent bulb with accurate characteristics for the right performance.
• High quality capacitors for low leakage and consistent performance.

CONTROLS AND FUNCTIONS:

VOLUME: Sets overall output level and drive of the preamp.
SPEED: Adjusts the effect rate.
INTENSITY: Adjusts the depth of the effect.
CHORUS/VIBRATO SWITCH: switches between CHORUS mode or VIBRATO mode.
BYPASS FOOTSWITH: Utilizes true bypass to bypass the effect and preamp.
CANCEL FOOTSWITCH: Disables the bulb and effect allowing just the preamp to remain active.

POWER REQUIREMENTS:

2.1mm power jack wired center negative utilizing 18vdc or 21vdc (recommended) with at least 200ma current. 
21v operation can be achieved with a voltage doubler cable such as one made by Voodoo Lab or Cioks (with RCA connections for Cioks supplies) and using two outlets (one at 9v and one at 12v for a total of 21v to the pedal) from a good multi isolated power supply such as those made by Strymon, Cioks, Voodoo Lab and more. Feel free to contact me for guidance on what can be used.

Note: Pedals that have the "5-pin Din w/ Switch" addition comes in ALL colors, not just white. Example photo is the "White Smoke" colorway.
