I'm considering a Vertigo Vibe. I love vibrato, and I like the fact that this unit has two speeds readily available. Rocktron's site mentions that when you change speed, the effect ramps up and down similar to a Leslie.

The sound snippets for the Vertigo Vibe on the MF website are cool, but does anyone have one?

I owned a chorus pedal and a delay pedal of theirs back in the early nineties. They were great effects, especially for the price. The only issue was the fact that the cases were plastic and the battery covers both broke off after about a year's worth of stomping. After that I used electrical tape to hold the batteries in place and they kept working until I retired them for medal cased effects (ah GAS pains).

I used to own a Rampage distorion pedal that was excellent. Great tones, very flexible and with a metal casing ti was built like a brick!

Yeah, I bought a Vertigo Vibe from Junk Daddy's a couple months ago. Paid like $49 for it.

It does not sound as good as the Hughes and Kettner Rotosphere ... kind of digital sounding.

I have a Boss Tremolo pedal that sounds just great. The Vertigo Vibe is ok, certainly a LOT cheaper that the H&K ... but don't expect it to sound like one ...

I am ordering a Rocktron Banshee - the talkbox thing - this week. I'll report on it once it gets here. Playing in a funk band is good for GAS, eh? :D

For the price, it sounds like a pretty good deal. I think I'm going to check it out. Thanks guys!

I just bought an Expression (Intelliflex successor) today to put in the loop of my Uberschall. I'm tweaking with it right now, but it's looking "sounding" very promising.

More later. :)
