A vibe that can conjure tones past and present, it features stacked tone and drive knobs, adding versatility. A toggle switch allows for 3 vibe varieties, and contrls are independent

$298.75 - One of the most versatile Vibes around, from a company that for several years was fully invested in the Uni-Vibe niche. It has controls for depth of modulation, tone, input impedance (for using different guitars), and output volume. 6 side trimmers let you tweak a series of settings to tailor several parameters related to tone and functions. V3 retains the same tone but delivers a modulation with deeper depth and character.

The only tube unit on the list, the Tube-Vibe conjures up some of the thickest, swampiest tones in classic rock.
