Easy but pricey build. Just spent a little more than usual on it just because.

Very cool build especially with the light box. Instructions were idiot proof. Built to BOM. The slimmer 1uF film caps are needed for space although I was one short, so I had to install one on the back side.

I was unable to get my Electro Vibe mini up and running so it is nice to have a very close Uni Vibe clone finally. It sounds killer and has some cool features like the cancel toggle and the input level slide switch. Relatively minor features but cool to have included.

Easy to bias as well. Instructions were a big help.

I'm certainly no expert on this effect like others on the forum but I just know I love the sound. Very pronounced and lush. For comparison, I've only played the TC Electronics Vicious Vibe (my favorite), EQD Depths, JHS Unicorn, and Voodoo Lab Micro Vibe. This build sounds as good if not better than those. Especially for what I use it for. Trippy, doom-y, stoner rock stuff.

I have graphics for it and new knobs but just wanted to post the build for now.

Not much more to add. Great stuff.

I almost ordered one of these just for the little led cover. Had to talk myself out if it.

"You already have several univibes that you don't use, fool!"

Ditto. I'm such a sucker for a good vibe. I did pick up the TS50 preamp (I own a real TS25) and the Acoustic 360 preamp though. The TS25 is one of my fave amps because nothing else sounds like it.

Geez that's a clean build.
