Some people even think a Univibe sounds like a rotary speaker, apparentlyAnd none of Jimi Hendrix’s pedals were true by-pass.
Some people even like Duesenberg, it takes all people to make a world.![]()

There isn’t one really you have to use something with a vibe that doesn’t mess with your fundamental tone.Some people even think a Univibe sounds like a rotary speaker, apparently![]()
Does an actual Leslie speaker cabinet leave the Core Tone unblemished?There isn’t one really you have to use something with a vibe that doesn’t mess with your fundamental tone.

I thought that was a univibe clone?Fultone mini DehaVibe is passable.

It might be. I only listen to these things when I need it for something specific. I hardly ever use one.I thought that was a univibe clone?

No and I am taking about in front of a tube amp not in a fully digital format.So maybe saying that it’s night and day better than the fractal rotary block as a rotating speaker simulator was a bit overblown? I’ve yet to hear a univibe that sounded like a Leslie, unless you consider anything somewhat warbly as “good enough” which I don’t. My favorite part of the Leslie sound is when it’s ramping up or braking down and you can’t get that from any univibe that I know of.

NEW FEATURES & UPDATES
- NEW!VP4 Custom Scene MIDI - Each scene within every preset can be configured to send up to four MIDI messages — either Program Change (PC) or Control Change (CC)—to external MIDI devices. This feature enables seamless integration with other MIDI-compatible equipment, allowing for automated changes when switching scenes. To set up Scene MIDI messages:
- Open the Scene MIDI page - From Home, press PAGE RIGHT 6x.
- The Scene MIDI page shows four scenes, each with four slots for MIDI messages.
- Turn SELECT to the desired Scene and message slot.
- Use Knob B to select the message type (PC for Program Change or CC#0-127 for Control Change).
- Use Knob C to choose the MIDI channel (1–16) on which the message will be sent.
- Use Knob D to set the specific value for the PC or CC message.
- Press ENTER on the selected row to test a single MIDI message. Switch to Scene Mode and use the footswitches to test all four messages for any scene.
- After configuring Scene MIDI, save the preset to retain your settings.
- When a new preset loads, the MIDI payload for the default scene is sent automatically.
- Note: Scene MIDI is sent only to the physical MIDI Out port. It is not echoed to USB MIDI.
- NEW! Integral Pre drive block type based on the TC Electronics Integrated Preamp.
- NEW! Multitap Delay models: Matterhorn, Centaurus X-3, Kilmanjaro, Strange Things, Camera Obscura
- Improved the following effects based on the latest Axe-Fx III enhancements:
- Delay: Sweep Delay is improved and offers new options.
- Multitap Delay: “Diffusor” types now include Stereo Spread and Mod Filter options
- Filter: Fine-tuned dynamic response for Envelope Filter and Touch Wah types.
- Adjusted the mix curve for some time-based effects so the dry level decreases more gradually as mix is adjusted above 50%.
- Fixed an issue with footswitch handling that could cause system lockups.
- Fixed minor GUI issues in the Pitch Intelligent Harmony types.
- Fixed footswitch mapping not updating correctly after the preset is changed remotely.
- Plus additional updates and fixes.
BAM!!!!! Additional MIDI features in the first update! Specifically, the ones I wanted/needed so I could ditch an additional MIDI controller. Pretty certain I can make the VP4 the centerpiece of my pedal-based rig now! To the competitors- this is how it’s done!
My favourite blue movie!three knobs and the truth.
Did Fractal ever find the root cause of the smashed buttons?
IIRC; there were a few units that went out and the buttons weren't quite aligned in their designated holes of the pedal housing. I don't believe it was a widespread thing.What's this now?
It occurred during shipping. The shipping company stacked boxes on top which compressed the packaging pushing the buttons into the chassis. We changed the packaging to minimize the issue.Did Fractal ever find the root cause of the smashed buttons?
