Voodoo Lab Modulation effects pedals

The Voodoo Lab Tremolo pedal is a guitar pedal that can be used with any electronic instrument in addition to an electric guitar. The pedal is an analog one and has standard 1/4 inch connections. I'm not sure the exact voltage on the pedal, but I used a power supply that was suited specifically for it. This isn't a rack mountable piece of gear as it is a foot pedal. UTILIZATION Using the Voodoo Lab Tremolo pedal isn't complicated at all as it has some standard parameters. It has knobs for intensity, slope, speed, and volume and all are easily accessed and manipulated. These parameters definitely provide enough control over your sound to make it possible to get a wide selection of different tremolo and vibrato tones. This is pretty much a fool proof pedal to use and even if you aren't familiar with what the parameters will do before hand, playing around with them for a few minutes will give you some ideas. I've never seen the manual for this pedal so I can't say how well put together it is or not. SOUND QUALITY I'm definitely a big fan of the way the Voodoo Lab Tremolo pedal sounds as it not only has a great deal of versatility, but has a clean tone across the board no matter how you set the parameters. I use the pedal whenever I don't have access to a Fender amp with vibrato, and generally play a Fender Stratocaster with it. I love the sounds that I'm able to get with this pedal and it is one of the better tremolo pedals that I have used out there... OVERALL OPINION If you are looking for a tremolo pedal that is versatile and has a great tone quality, the Voodoo Lab Tremolo pedal needs to be in the discussion. While there are certainly other tremolo pedals out there that have comparable sound quality and even better, this pedal is absolutely worthy of a try. The price isn't too expensive and it is built like a brick so as long as you treat it reasonably well it should last a while. All in all, if you are looking for a great sounding tremolo pedal and don't already have vibrato or tremolo on your amp, this pedal is a popular item for a good reason.

The Micro Vibe is Voodoo Lab recreation of the original Dunlop Univibe from the 60's and 70's that replicated the effect of a rotating speaker cabinet. It was most famously used by artists such as Jimi Hendrix and others as as well. Voodoo Lab has created a fine product here, by offering a pedal that is 100 percent analog and even hand-wired, with true bypass. Pedals like this should make pedal-loving players drool. The Micro Vibe accepts 9V batteries, and is packaged in a rugged metal casing that embodies simplicity. UTILIZATION It doesn't get simpler than this, The Micro Vibe has two knobs, for "intensity" and "speed". To state the obvious, the "intensity" knob controls the depth or degree of roatary speaker effect, and the "speed" controls the relative speed of the rotating speaker. No manual needed. Plug and play. SOUND QUALITY If you like psychadelia, or even just classic rock you can appreciate what a rotary effect can do to space out your sound. Well, the Micro Vibe definitely delivers. It can offer you a subtle chorusy tremolo sound, all the way to a deep swirling pulse that is lush, earthy, and organic sounding. Unlike a lot of the hand-wired pedals from the 70's, this one is a bit more predictable; you CAN'T get a bad sound out of this box. It does what its supposed to, and not much else. Playing with the speed dial will give you some eerie sounds, but nothing too crazy. Its just a good all-around tremolo pedal that is quite good at recreating the Univibe sound, which is something even the Univibe reissues don't really do. Voodoo Lab knows what they are doing. This pedal interacted nicely with my small tube combo and my other floor effects, like placing distortion in front brings out a bit more of the modulation/phaser sound. Add in a delay and it gets spacier, a flanger and it gets downright scary-wierd quick. OVERALL OPINION Pitting this pedal against the Fulltone Mini Deka Vibe, or other even more expensive tremolos- its hard to pick a winner on sound alone. But the Micro Vibe is seriously awesome contruction, and it is dirt cheap compared to the others being only 150 or so. So its a pretty easy choice to make for me. I love this thing. Its one of the pedal purchases that I feel the best about in a long time.
