VIBE OUT !!! - Massive Uni-Vibe Shootout of 16 Vibe pedals (no talking, 2012)

Howdy, fellow Vibronauts, and thank you for joining my nutty vibe unit shootout!

Here are 16 sound samples of different vibe pedals labeled Vibe 1-16 in numerical order. Subsequent I will show you which vibes you have been listening to.

Each pedal has been set up individually to make it sound best. Each time there is only one pedal between guitar (Vintage V6MRTBG w/ Fender CS 69 Pickups) and amp (Fender Deluxe Reverb Reissue). All vibe units have been recorded on the same day with the same unaltered equipment. You will always hear all five Strat positions beginning with the neck position.

Since the guitar player merges with the vibe unit and interacts with its wave, I do not use the same guitar loop on all of the demos.

Have fun finding your favorite vibe without being influenced by big names, price tags and the latest internet buzz. Let your own taste, and your taste only, decide.

One last proposal: I recommend comparing two vibes only at the same time. Every time you have opted for the one to keep, add the next one in line to compare them and to decide again until there is only one pedal left:

Vibe Nr. 01 @ 0:30min
Vibe Nr. 02 @ 3:05min
Vibe Nr. 03 @ 5:49min
Vibe Nr. 04 @ 8:14min
Vibe Nr. 05 @ 11:03min
Vibe Nr. 06 @ 13:47min
Vibe Nr. 07 @ 15:59min
Vibe Nr. 08 @ 18:24min
Vibe Nr. 09 @ 20:50min
Vibe Nr. 10 @ 23:10min
Vibe Nr. 11 @ 25:26min
Vibe Nr. 12 @ 27:37min
Vibe Nr. 13 @ 29:56min
Vibe Nr. 14 @ 31:55min
Vibe Nr. 15 @ 33:57min
Vibe Nr. 16 @ 35:59min

Conclusion @ 38:20min

In my personal opinion the recorded differences (in opposition to the feel and 3D sound in the room) are marginal; what do you think...?

Cheers,

Haciendamann.
