| Fulltone Mini Deja Vibe 2 - MDV-2 = Foot Controlled True Bypass Univibe Replica
The lush organic sounds of a perfect "vintage Univibe clone" are a necessity, and they are now attainable in a space no bigger than a standard wah wah pedal!
The Mini-Deja'Vibe2, ( MDV-2 for short ) comes in a beautiful powder-coated vintage Cream color with oxblood lettering and is housed in a sturdy 16 gauge steel wah housing and a blue LED that throbs to the beat of its asymmetrical rhythm. The Fulltone Mini Deja Vibe 2 is a foot controlled exact copy of the legendary Vintage 60's Univibe...and it's true bypass to boot. Now you can have that dripping Phase-Chorused tone that made Jimi's "Machine Gun" so epic!
The Vintage Solution...with a True Bypass Twist: One of the cool things about a Vintage Univibe was that you turned it on simply by pushing forward on the treadle, which activated a momentary switch located in the heel of the foot controller....pretty nice because we usually use the slower speeds so there were no odd transition noises like you would get if you switched it on like a wah wah. Wah wah's (as you know) turn on with a Toe activated switch, which would sound odd on a Univibe clone because that position is the fastest speed. On an old Univibe the problem was all it did was Turn on or turn fff the light bulb on the PCB...it wasn't true Bypass and did not have a very transparent sound.
The MDV-2 offers unique voltage doubling circuit so you can use any standard 9 volt DC adapter and inside the mini deja vibe 2 the power is ramped up to the original Univibe's 18+ volts DC!
Features also include a mini-toggle switch to choose between Vintage/Modern settings allowing for warm original '60's Univibe grind (Vintage setting) and louder, with more output (Modern setting).
So I bet you're asking - "What seperates the MDV-2 from the rest?" Let me tell you...
-
The Fulltone Long travel Treadle, with our their Dual Pot gives access to all speeds from slowest to fastest, all with a perfect sweep and no abrupt speed changes.
-
A dual-pot with the correct taper, value, & gear to operate a "vintage Univibe Circuit" does not exist...so Fulltone makes it.
-
True to the original 1960's Univibe circuit 100%, including the most important parts, as only Fulltone (and the great Bob Sweet) know...you gotta have the Photocells Custom made 'cause you cannot buy correct cells off the shelf.... they don't exist.
-
Fulltone's Proprietary Heel-Activated system works perfectly, sounds fabulous, operates smoothly, and "defaults" to Bypassed should your power supply fail or be disconnected....all ground covered
-
Initally there were concerns about then Mini Deja Vibe 2 not having super-slow speeds being that "true bypass" is activated when the treadle is in full heel position...NOT TO WORRY, Mike Fuller found a way around the problem by increasing the "value" of the dual speed pot from 100K to 150K and now there are slower speeds available than any other Univibe clone as well as the super fast speeds!
9V Adapter is included with the Mini Deja Vibe
