Excellent Vibe Sound
Buttnugget 12.06.2019
Great pedal, especially at this price point. The only "bad" part about it is that there is no way to immediately bypass the effect. Instead there is a delay of a few seconds as the simulated rotations slow down and then the pedal eventually goes into bypass. At first I didn't like this about the pedal and was seriously considering returning it, but I have come to embrace it, even prefer it. If you want a clean cut off you will have to put the pedal in a looper. Otherwise it is a versatile pedal with killer tones.

Great pedal!
Arnaw 28.06.2015
First of all I have to say that I've never tried and original one or any other uni-vibe style pedal. Apart of that this thing sounds amazing. Great old school chorus and tremolo sounds, really gives that Gilmour vibe.

I find interesting that usually all the positions in the knobs sound good, which is great to just mess around with it on stage to create some madness. Another thing I'm loving is the hold-on option that increases de speed, really easy to use and creates a great effect.

The toneprint works great but I'm not really digging the presets they have on the app, I'm guessing is still fairy new and they still have to get some artists to do their own toneprints.

Overall, great pedal at a good price. I bought it to add some colour every now and then (I only use od and some slap delay and reverb to give space) but I'm using it A LOT.

Nifty little vibe!
Anonymous 09.01.2016
Really love this pedal - I have had a few vibes over the years and this one nails the Jimi Hendrix Machine Gun tone with no effort at all

I use this both at home and in the studio in a band setting and it holds up in both situations really well.

Great build quality from TC electronic as usual,

I was initially torn between this and the EHX good vibes pedal, and originally went with the Good Vibes as it has a jack socket for connecting an expression pedal. However, the sound just didn't do it for me, so I got this instead and could not be happier. The ramping function (hold the switch down when the effect is engaged, and it speeds up) kinda negates the need for for an expression pedal, however, my one gripe is that it would be nice to have that as an option.

Switchable buffer is really handy for those of us with massive pedal boards!

The toneprint stuff is just awesome, and satisfies the tweaker in me without having to get the soldering iron out. just download the app and load up some presets, or fire up the editor and tweak away!

Got to try this
Nel. 05.02.2020
It's one of the best pedals I own and use. Not only does it sound great out of the box, but it can be used so many ways...

I did not try to reprogram it yet, but I am still having fun and experimenting by putting it before or after other effect pedals/loops.

Clearly has that Robin Trower vibe too.

TC Electronic Viscous Vibe
Anonymous 29.01.2017
I bought this as recent addition to my pedal board and I like it very much. It is robust and of a high quality build as are all TC pedals and is aesthetically pleasing too, if that is of any concern. The standard settings are great on it but should you seek other variations it is equipped with the tone print option which is handy. My only quibble with it is that so far I have had a few problems in making the pedal's level sound at unity but they may be more my ineptitude that the pedal's fault but it certainly will require a bit of experimentation. As a uni-vibe a like I think this pedal would be hard to beat.

Good vibe
Anonymous 03.07.2016
The good things in this pedal aren't the factory loaded presets: the vibe is really always on the edge of becoming too fast and stupid expecially combined with some drive, the vibrato is not really what I was looking for. But the magic happens in the Toneprint editor. With some knobbing around and a little amount of trying you can get the vibe sound you always wanted.

First Vibe
Anonymous 25.10.2016
I've not used a vibe style pedal before this but I am loving this. The sound is excellent and I love the speed ramp when you hold the footswitch. Nice and compact like most TC products and the Toneprint function is really versatile.
