Effectrode Tube-Vibe
Effectrode · pedal
The Effectrode Tube-Vibe is a boutique high-fidelity uni-vibe pedal built in the UK, featuring vacuum tube circuitry for a warm, psychedelic vibe effect. The pedal uses NOS 12AX7 and dual 12AT7 preamp tubes requiring a dedicated 12V DC power supply for optimal tone. The configurable LFO generates any waveshape for customizable vibe throb, thickness, and tone character. With a one megaohm input impedance for pristine signal clarity, the pedal delivers a lush, dimensional tone that preserves guitar tone without loss of highs or lows. At full volume, the pedal provides a 6dB signal boost.
