R Weaver FX’s love letter to the Uni-Vibe
The R Weaver FX Midnight Vibe is the result of more than 40 years of experience from builder Rick Weaver, whose lifelong fascination with guitars, amps, electronics and pedal design has shaped every...
I recently ordered the R Weaver Midnight Vibe and so far I think it’s great. I really like the original design idea they use in this vibe with the ability to bypass the vibe circuit and use the preamp. The sound of the vibe is wonderful, the speed goes from slow throb to fast almost Leslie type speed, it’s rather large compared to most modern pedal designs, but I don’t mind it as I only have a handful of effects and am basically running a Hendrix/SRV/Sayce kind of pedalboard, everything I need for the stuff I like to play. The only negative thing I can think of is that the blue speed led is extremely bright, if you’re right over top of it it’s quite distracting and almost blinding, they probably could have gone with a more dull old school type light for that, but a piece of tape over it works to take that down lol. Priced in between the Formula B Vintahe Vibe and the Sabaddius Vibe options, I thought I would give this one a whirl and glad I did, I really like it. It’s got ‘the sound’. Also thanks again for the super quick and secure shipping as always Charles and Electric Mojo.

The Best Quality Tone and looks
I'm doing my own little vibe shootout. I'm trying several vibe pedals plus I have a few lower end ($100-$200) models already. The Midnight Vibe was love at first play. Investing a bit more in a handmade high quality vibe is very worth it. I'm still auditioning a few higher end vibes. I'll probably keep two when it's all said and done. There's no question that the Midnight Vibe is a keeper. It has a smooth throbing quality in the bass that most people want in a pedal based on the original Univibe. I was super impressed by the service and the shipping speed. Really amazing considering that it is shipped from Canada, IIRC. I'm still waiting on some of the contenders to arrive. I'll write more later because I am very enthusiastic about the Midnight Vibe!
