BASIC OPERATION

The Vibe-1968 has been designed to accurately recreate the classic vibe tones of the 60s and
70s. Side A and B are independent of each other. When changing channels the Vibe-1968 will
ramp between all settings to give a smooth transition between sounds.

SIDE B CONTROLS
Fine adjustments
The Vibe-1968 has internal controls for input impedance, mix and volume.
Open the back of the pedal and adjust the volume trimmer pot to your desired setting,
this is a set-and-forget setting and shouldn't need to be changed once you have it set.
The input impedance trimmer pot lets you adjust whether the vibe sounds like a vintage 1968 vibe with a dark
warm tone or a modern vibe with a sparkling clear tone.
The control can be set anywhere between these two settings to dial in the exact tone you want.
There is also a mix control that blends between the vibe effected tone and the clean tone. We have set this
for maximum depth and throb, you can adjust this for more warble and frequency shift if you prefer.
You don't normally need to adjust this setting.
