Description
The Fulltone Custom Shop Mini Deja Vibe-3 V2 brings the classic Univibe sound into a compact, pedalboard-friendly format with some thoughtful updates under the hood. Built around four photocells and an incandescent bulb-just like the originals from the late '60s-it nails the swooshy, three-dimensional feel that made the Univibe a go-to for players like Trower and Hendrix. This updated version runs at 18 volts for more headroom and includes a built-in 15dB volume boost, which is great if you need that extra push without losing clarity.
Tonally, this thing gets deep. The added range of slower speeds and the rich, organic modulation make it a standout choice for players chasing vintage swirl with modern reliability. There's no DSP here; the MDV-3 sticks to analog signal paths and period-correct components, right down to the preamp transistor and custom optocouplers. We've tried a lot of vibe pedals, and this one really does capture the chewy, watery movement that makes the effect so expressive. It's a solid pick for anyone looking to bring a real-deal Univibe tone into their rig without the vintage headaches.
