Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement.

The Roger Mayer Voodoo-Vibe 2024 is an updated Uni-Vibe-style pedal from Roger Mayer, the electronics designer who worked directly with Jimi Hendrix, delivering the swirling, watery, Doppler-effect phase-and-chorus modulation that defined Hendrix's vibe tone. The 2024 revision keeps the classic Voodoo-Vibe circuit and swirl character while updating the internal construction for modern reliability. It suits Hendrix-style and classic-rock players chasing the authentic, slowly rotating, pitch-bending swirl of a real Uni-Vibe rather than a faster, more conventional chorus or phaser voicing.
Witch City Music Factory names this pedal Light Cycle, a direct reference to the glowing vehicles from Tron, a naming choice that suggests a bright, digital, or futuristic-leaning modulation or synth-adjacent effect rather than a warm, vintage-voiced circuit. Small independent builders frequently draw on pop-culture and film references for pedal names specifically to signal a tonal or aesthetic direction before a player even plugs in, and a name evoking Tron's neon, high-tech visual world points toward something bright and electronic rather than earthy or organic. Specific circuit type and control layout for the Light Cycle aren't confirmed from available sources.
