The Roger Mayer Voodoo-Vibe 2024 takes the core sound of the industry leading Voodoo-Vibe+ and wraps it up in the pedalboard friendly 1590 enclosure.
Here is what Roger says about this pedal:
History:
We are celebrating 60 years of producing guitar effects that have changed the sound of rock music since 1964. Our legacy both in guitar effects and recording studio equipment is universally recognised worldwide.
The Voodoo-Vibe 2024 is the latest evolution of the Univibe as used by Jimi Hendrix and Robin Trower. and will faithfully reproduce all the old retro sounds and incorporates the modifications I personally developed for Jimi.
The Vibe 2024 is a modern evolution developed from our famous Voodoo-Vibe+, which is used by so many great guitarists such as Page and David Gilmour and still today remains the standard by which all other Vibe type clones are judged. It has been designed in response to the many requests of having a smaller pedal board friendly unit with less knobs that still gives the great tone of it's bigger and more complicated brother.
It uses exactly the same circuitry, and our 4 custom hand made selected light cells in the same configuration but does not include the Tremolo function.
The ability to MIX or blend the Chorus and Vibrato effect together has been added thus increasing the texture and range of unheard effects.
The operational window of the SPEED and INTENSITY controls has been optimised to produce great tones instantly. The simplicity of operation will appeal to those who are less technically orientated and who want a plug in and go version of the Voodoo-Vibe+ that was a bit too complicated for them.
The EQ control sets the sweep parameter sound to the desired tonal preference. Once set it can be left and is rarely adjusted in normal operation.
The Vibe 2024 is a modern and worthy successor to our very successful Voodoo-Vibe+ which is the Industry Standard for analogue chorus effects. The art of analogue processing has moved forward.
Technical:
The Voodoo-Vibe 2024 is completely analogue in operation and exhibits a very transparent and full sound quality that is lacking in digital products that simulate chorus and flanging effects The digital zipper noise and graininess is eliminated and the guitar tone is maintained throughout the full dynamic range.
Class A discrete circuitry is used in all audio stages and results in ultra high audio quality and very low noise.
The signal to noise ratio of the unit is 118dB, which is about 28dB better than a CD.
Using a 6 layer PC Board provides triple shielding from issues caused by the modern RF jungle environment created by Cell Phones, WIFI routers etc.
Extensive internal power supply filtering is used so that the low noise performance is maintained when using even the most basic commercial mains AC adapter or battery eliminator.
It is housed in a standard 1590 pedal friendly enclosure design with added features to help the modern musician bring the famous Voodoo-Vibe+ sound forward to the future. The many players who demand the original Voodoo-Vibe sound plus a package that is more flexible will welcome the additional features and for the traditionalists the famous Voodoo-Vibe+ will still be available with more added variables and features.
