Voodoo Lab Micro Vibe - Manual

MICRO VIBE
User’s Manual
Voodoo Lab guitar effect pedals are handcrafted from the finest modern and vintage components.
They are housed in rugged aluminum cases with heavy duty metal switches. True bypass switching is
used for absolutely no loss of tone when the pedal is bypassed. All Voodoo Lab products are
designed and manufactured in California. For more information about Voodoo Lab products,

Description
The Univibe was designed in 1968 as a rotating speaker simulator. It achieved legendary status on
land- mark recordings by Jimi Hendrix, Robin Trower and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Often described as
a chorus effect, the Univibe circuit is actually a variation of a four stage phase shifter. The Voodoo
Lab Microvibe includes the same sinewave oscillator, incandescent lamp and photocells which
provide the Univibe’s unique “feel.” Our Microvibe delivers the same lush, psychedelic tone of the
original, but in a compact, battery operated pedal.
Operation
Here are some sample settings to get you started:
1. Elementary Psychedelic: Set the Intensity at about 4:00 and the Speed around half or a little
more. In general, as you increase the speed you should decrease the intensity.
2. Leslie Speaker: Set the Intensity around half and the Speed all the way up.
Plugging into the input jack turns on the power to your Microvibe. To preserve battery life,
disconnect the input cable when not in use.
Battery
The Voodoo Lab Microvibe is powered by a single 9V battery. To replace the battery, remove the
four screws which secure the bottom cover. Always use alkaline batteries in your Microvibe for the
longest battery life and most consistent tone.
External Power
The Voodoo Lab Microvibe can be powered externally with a regulated 9VDC power supply
eliminating the need for the internal battery. The external power supply connector is a 5.5x2.1mm
barrel with center negative polarity.
