Yes, I know. WTF is up with all the "glory holes"? This started as a magnus modulus enclosure and worked its way through dipthonizer (on the orig style huge boards) to whatever. Now that we've got that out of the way, this thing sounds so awesome, it will NEVER leave my pedalboard. Brian, what are your tweaks vs the neo? Whatever it is, YES!!! Thanks Madbean for being Madbean.

the holes actually look pretty cool haha. reminiscent of space somehow... or the moon?

You should totally put LEDs in all those holes!

 amp jewel lights/LEDs in the holes! or put some LEDs inside the enclosure so the light comes out of the holes.
That would look awesome on stage!

I bask in the naked glory, of the hole. No amp jewel lamp, no LED shall brighten this mutilated beauty.  :)

Did anyone listen to the clip? Things sounds like a bit of heaven to me.

Sorry, I don't know. I picked some up on ebay a few years ago, and found them in a bin.

Thanks! What will be new about it? What is different about this one from the Neovibe? I remember Brian saying something about this being his preferred tweaks?

Thanks. I had the intensity turned up all the way in that clip. It sounds real nice as well, when you back off a bit. Congrats on your build. Hope you feel as I do about this great pedal.

Hahaa! Thanks. I like that!

Not to derail but since it was brought up, the 2012 Warhead will have a switchable input buffer similar to the Mojovibe and most likely utilize the vactrol trick so you can use a single ganged 100kB speed control. Actually, this is pretty much finished except I was having trouble getting the rate down to the speed I want. Typcial of me, I put it aside to work on something else....I will get back to it soon, though. It's pretty much a combination of a traditional univibe, with elements of the Mojo and Forum vibe thrown in.

BTW: geek--that clip is fantastic. That's one of the nicest sounding DIY vibes I've heard--even better than my build of the Warhead!
