Delta-Vibe V2 is end of your vibe search. This classic Uni-Vibe® recreation is the culmination of 4 years of hard work. It is able to achieve all the lush, watery, and throbby sounds of the original. Pair it with a fuzz or an overdriving amp (or both!) for pseudo-detuned, asymmetric, seasick loveliness. V2 features 9V DC power and expression pedal input for use withany commonly available expression pedal!
Like the original Vibe, Delta-Vibe V2 features:
Original ‘discrete’ Vibe circuit path. All areas of the circuit that make a difference have been meticulously studied and analysed
Quartet of matched light-dependent resistors (LDRs/photocells) and incandescent lamp. On average, 70% of the LDRs we buy in are rejected as they don’t fall within our specified range for each position of the circuit, and each LDR is tested for very high accuracy in a temperature-controlled environment. Additionally, incandescent lamps have been selected for their specific response to the LFO
Accurate and carefully-selected capacitor values in critical locations to an extremely high tolerance, including Mylar ‘greenie’ caps
Includes ‘Mode’ switch to select between Chorus (Vibe) and Vibrato modes
Internal lamp/LDR copper ‘light shield’ to allow adjustment with the pedal’s baseplate removed
Tweaks/additional features:
Powered by 9V DC 150mA minimum (standard 2.1×5.5mm barrel connector with centre negative polarity)
Expression pedal input (1/4″ TRS) that will accept any commonly available expression pedal. Delta-Vibe V2 features a unique circuit to control the Vibe LFO, the first of its kind ever used in a Vibe, that allows for this, without the need for a dedicated ‘Vibe’ expression pedal with a pot of specific resistance and taper
Internal voltage conversion to give 15V signal headroom and 24V power to the lamp
No volume drop (as on the original Vibes)
True-bypass switching
An internal trimpot to allow adjustment of the LFO ‘offset’ so that the wave can be tuned to taste. This trimpot is set by default to the setting best to replicate the sound of vintage Vibes
Delta-Vibe V2 is also:
Fully handmade in the U.K.
Hardwearing and uses the highest quality components throughout, including Neutrik jacks, GORVA 3PDT footswitch, Alpha potentiometers, and solid aluminium knobs
Pedalboard-friendly with modest enclosure size (120 x 100 x 60mm) with top-mounted jacks and power
Adjusting internal trimpots
The trimpots are tuned to give our favourite sound, but you may feel the need to tinker!
