Why are all Vibes so shite?

I’ve never been able to afford a vibe so I just employ a group of small children to pick up my amp and run around in a circle at the appropriate moment. They work for crisps and Fanta. Much cheaper. Just as effective.

The Michael Jackson approach. I see.

Only if you don't know how to use them.

Most of the Vibes listed are fine, but you have to be able to play etc

I have the JHS Unicorn v2. On the plus side, it sounds great, is small, and has tap tempo. On the down side, I’m 99% sure it’s the source of some powering gremlins affecting my Timeline, and introduced a high-pitch whine on some delay engines, so it’s currently off the board :-(

As an aside here, check to see if you have pedals with a charge-pump (eg some klones), as these notoriously affect Strymons...

I'm no expert when it come to vibes, but adore my Pigtronix Quantum Time Modulator.

...maybe the sound you want isn't from a Vibe after all??
