Smaller format Uni-Vibes
I've got an Effectrode Tube-Vibe that sounds unbelievable, but it takes up a lot of real estate. I plan on keeping it on a smaller board with a couple of other big pedals that are indispensable/fun but a little impractical... with that in mind, anyone care to recommend a good vibe in more of a standard Hammond 1590ish size enclosure?
I've really liked the EQD Depths when I've messed around with it—sounds great, extended controls, too. In terms of sound, my favorite setting for these is the gooey, slow swirl thing. The thicker the better (awaiting quotes).
The broader thing here is that I'm probably going to kick my WVmk2 off of my board. It's an insanely great pedal, but at the end of the day I just don't find myself reaching for chorus very much, if really at all. I should also be getting an email pretty soon that my Generation Loss is ready, so maybe that could be a cool option instead of vibe. Gimme slow warble.

Re: Smaller format Uni-Vibes
I've always wanted a Bearfoot Vibe. They're totally overpriced new, but secondhand units are often available for $135-160. I think they're quite psychedelic and warbly (there's even a slow circuit version, if you want extra slow).

Several people have shared glowing reviews of the discontinued Villanova (also in the $135-160 range used). Those would be my two recommendations.

Re: Smaller format Uni-Vibes
I've heard people (like rustywire^) talk about the Drybell, but I ain't know nothing 'bout that.

Re: Smaller format Uni-Vibes
The Mojo Vibe is crap in my opinion, so is The Depths, not thick and throbby enough (Chankgeez insert here).
They say the Villanova is similar to The Depths
My picks:
Dawner Prince Viberator
Drybell Vibe Machine
Fulltone Mini Deja Vibe (the new black one)
Lovepedal Vibronaut
MG Music Mojo Vibe
MJM Sixties Vibe
I only tried the last two in real life though (Chankgeez insert here again).

Re: Smaller format Uni-Vibes
It's a little top shelf, but I am really curious about Castledaine's Supra Vibe, but I think it's probably still a little large for you. http://www.wah-wah.co.uk
I am super intrigued by the mellowed out gristlizer that EAR are making. Find some of the demos, they sound incredible. http://www.endangeredaudioresearch.com/spectravibe/
Other things to check out, but worth demoing in person: I've had good luck with the Moog Ring Mods set to a more vibe/trem sound.
EQD Grand Orbiter is a solid hard working Phase and Vibe, and small format.
Not really a vibe at all, but can cross into the territory is the Spaceman Voyager. Super fun, tons of settings. I actually almost always have it on and set to fade in after the notes are played. So fun.
Booth the Larger Moog Ring Mod and the Voyager have a little boost in the circuit which is really nice if you have your modulation a little ways down your signal path. Honestly, I kinda love the gain stage of the Voyager.

Re: Smaller format Uni-Vibes
I just picked up an A/DA PBF Flanger, and it does a really nice faux vibe thing. In addition to about a million other sounds. Top mount jacks, expression control and as small as a 1590B. You can find em new for 180 dollars. Dunno what the second hand value is.

Re: Smaller format Uni-Vibes
I really enjoyed the Castledine as well, but that's a big box.

Re: Smaller format Uni-Vibes
I had one of the old Lovepedal vibes at a point, and it sounded stellar. Only modulation pedal I've truly loved. Of course I flipped it.

I've got a vintage script Phase 100 that's pretty solidly kept me from ever seriously pursuing another phaser 
Shit tons of recs up there though...I'ma check em all out!

Re: Smaller format Uni-Vibes
I dunno, big, bigger than a Warmjet, the enclosure size that comes after the 1590BB.
