I have one each on my electric as well as acoustic board as the very last in the chain before amp.
I have it basically all the time on, when I switch it off I miss clarity and distinction in sound IMO.
As far as I understand the effect is basically a eq of the signal specifically designed to counter deficiencies in speaker acoustics and physical properties of amplifying a guitar signal with a classic speaker cone design; to 'bring back the sound as it should be'.
And that's what it does for me. It's also a bit like 'taking the blanket off the speaker cabinet, it's more defined and crisper with it on. I dig it.

Just my two cents...

Did you trial it so far into poweramp input (bypassing pre amp) or into pre amp of tube amp and how did the volume output work out?

That's siiiiiiiiiiiiick Jason!

Cool and useful box, welcome to the addiction! 
Paint can be a frustrating thing to wresyle with, you'll find your way by experimenting and check out all the other things that people use here for inspiration and different methods.

Really mindbendingly noice!

Thanks for your replies on the details, another question I have is which LDRs did you use and which one's work best for, seeing that you've built a bunch of vibes?
Do you match LDRs?
Do you always point the straight at lamp and do you use a light shield ultimately?
Sorry for all those details, it's just that I dig univibes as well...

You are welcome. I use LDRs from ebay, they are marked GL5549. I think that they are not all same out there, but you can try from different suppliers. I do use very primitive way of matching them. I connect them to DMM and measure resistance in light and dark, beside that important is time of changing resistance between dark and light, shorter-better. My first build was with random picked LDRs and it did sound great. For these LDRs I always face them to lamp and I don't use shield for them.

Awesome, thanks for advice. Will check those ebay LDRs out, so far have used Smallbear ones and like them, but don't have any other comparison.

How do you find the speed range with the B 100 K pot (compared to a C taper)?

And will the Harbinger II fit into it...?

If you made everything other than the lamp and photocells SMT, then very possibly.

Now there's a challenge for you, Dave... 

Very cool! Nice one...

Awesome stuff, great looks and super pcb design for the univibe with the incorporated relay switching!
Absolutely pro stuff, amazing!

Another great build which will not only work but also look perfect beside the Moodring! Classy!

Amazing build indeed! Cool stuff, superbly done inside out!

Very nice and super excecuted! Love it!
