Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

Delivering authentic, swirling vintage modulation in a remarkably compact footprint, this Fulltone Mini-Deja’Vibe3 (MDV-3) is a dream for tone purists and a deeply inspiring artistic investment! Wrapped in a striking Hammertone Blue powder-coated finish with a throbbing blue LED, this pedal packs true, 100% discrete photoconductive cell Univibe magic into a space smaller than a standard wah. Its clever heel-or-toe activated True-Bypass footswitch lets you effortlessly ride the pedal like a gas pedal or click it off with a quick flick, making seamless speed adjustments on stage easier than ever. Meticulously inspected with attentive labor, this unique specimen arrives in supremely playable condition, offering complete structural integrity that ensures total performance reliability night after night. Tap into lush, organic, asymmetrical rhythms and bring timeless, hypnotic movement to your music with pure vintage flair!

From Fulltone Effects Pedals

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 footswitch that is perfect for the person who rarely changes speeds and just wants to turn it on or off with their 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.

 

There are a LOT of pedals claiming to be "authentic vintage Univibe clones" on the market...the small ones are merely a glorified MXR phaser filled with opamps with a few capacitor changes. That's not a Univibe! So how is one to know which pedals are real and which ones are just a cheap shortcut?
