The Fulltone Mini Vibe MDV-3 Mini DejaVibe 3 vintage rotary guitar effects pedal is the closest you can get to true Uni-Vibe sound without actually selling a kidney to buy a ‘60s-era Uni-Vibe. Fulltone already did the heavy lifting for you with the MDV-3, cloning original ‘60s photocells and using the exact same preamp transistor that old Uni-Vibes used. You get all of the Uni-Vibe’s legendary writhing, undulating pulsations plus more headroom and a wider dynamic range.

Details: Real Estate is precious, especially on your pedalboard, but the lush organic sounds of a perfect “authentic vintage Univibe clone”  are a necessity, and they are now attainable in a space now smaller than a standard wah wah pedal… the Mini-Deja’Vibe3, MDV-3 for short. With a Hammertone Blue powder coated finish, White lettering, and a Blue LED that throbs to the beat of the pedal’s hypnotic, asymmetrical rhythm. The MDV-3 has a new heel or toe activated True-Bypass footswitchthat is perfect for the person who rarely changes speeds and just wants to turn it on or off with his toe, but also perfect for the person who rides it like a Gas-pedal and wants to turn the pedal on/off with a simple flick of the heel (see the MDV-3 video at youtube.com/fulltoneeffects)There are a LOT of pedals claiming to be “authentic vintage Univibe clones” on the market….all of the small ones are merely a glorified MXR phaser with a few changes. That’s not a Univibe! So how is one to know which pedals are real and which ones are just a cheap shortcut circuit that will satisfy you only until you get a chance to play pedal like the Fulltone MDV & MDV-3, both of which sport a “100% real vintage circuit.”A real Univibe clone will have: 4 x glass covered/hermetically-sealed photocells and an incandescent bulb on the circuit board. I go one step further…and NO ONE else does this, I took many real 1960’s ‘cells and had them cloned for not only dark/bright resistance, but also cloned the all-important rise and fall times of the cells as they react to the light turning on and off. Nobody else even knows about this, let alone bothers with it. They just buy whatever off-the-shelf photocells they can get, oblivious to these specs. Yes, even those forum-worshipped wait-list builders. Run at 18+ volts, ours has a unique voltage doubler circuit inside so you can power it with any standard 9VDC adapter. Totally discrete electronics, i.e. NO OPAMPS in the audio path! I go even further by only using Ne
