Deja Vibe by Fulltone

“not exactly the kind of effects I use .”
I felt similarly, but was curious enough to try a couple different versions from other manufacturers. Not that I had anything against Fulltone…they were on my shortlist for things to try…but I saw a DryBell Vibe Machine video posted by a member here, and that got bumped to the top of the list. I found one, and added a Mission expression pedal, and I am very happy AND surprised with how much I use it.
That said…I really like the form factor of that Fulltone you posted!

Yes, I could use it if I played live, even so I am pretty happy with the HX Stomp right now. It covers just about any sound.

Even some half-dead players like myself love it, too. Thanks for reminding that I have a Fulltone Deja ‘Vibe waiting to be released once again from its dark dungeon. The Deja Vibe version with the foot control to adjust the speed would be an even cooler pedal to have. Pricey stuff, but Fulltone products are so well made and sound great.
Mine:
Not surprised by your statement. The DryBells have an excellent reputation. Pricey mofos, too!
Seems like most of the well known offerings are…looks like just under $300, for a good portion, is the going rate. That Fulltone MDV3 goes close to $400 right now…but it has the expression pedal incorporated into the design.
When I added the expression pedal to my Vibe Machine (V2), it was a game changer for me…easy on/off, speed control, and ramp up setting…that’s what made my mind up to stick with it, besides the overall sound.

I'd be curious to see the guts. The reason is that the components used in a Univibe or any faithful clone (not counting digital replicas of course) are strictly prohibited in the EU, yet the pedal is for sale. The 'problem' is that there's cadmium in LDR's and there's practically no other comparable drop-in replacement for it when dealing with visible light. Fender bastardize their EU export amps where required by adding a couple of extra circuit boards just to (poorly) replicate the LDR's behavior for the tremolo, etc. I don't see Fulltone doing that with their pedals.
What gives?

I have one of the old Deja-Vibe 2 pedals. It's ok. It could have issues as I bought it used.
Then, I bought a Dry Bell Vibe Machine. I like that one, but can't seem to get a sound I like from Humbuckers. It's great with single coils, though. I should have done like Don and bought an expression pedal for it.
Finally settled on the Sabbadius Funky Vibe after Steve turned me on it. I got the '68 version. This one does the early David Gilmour stuff really well.
