Good call! Met the Gig-FX folks at a guitar show we did a few months back. Got to see and hear them up close. Pedals are awesome. Amazing the features and controls they pack into such a relatively small enclosure. Internet does not do them justice. If you get a chance to test one in person do it!
The Vox Vibravox is actually really good if you can track one down - i got one on ebay for $100 shipped. Not sure why that series got discontinued so fast (other than them being clunky and so mirrored that looking down at one on stage can blind you!)... Very nice having the two footswitchable trem speeds, the vibrato option is not bad (vibe is sublte - some pitch shifting, but nothing super sea-sick), and one thing it does that i don't find much with others it that it ramps up-down when you change speeds. It can also be set to switch btwn trem & vibe (instead of 2 diff't trem or vibe speeds), which is a highly useful feature

Think Vox Vibravox, it was capable of both Tremolo and Vibrato. I think it even was able to be both at once. Thats what I want. And anything that would sound nice with Eartquaker's Sea Machine Vibrato or Tremolo I will look into.

Vox Vibravox does do BOTH tremolo AND vibrato (true vibrato must have pitchbending, trem in amps is often mislabelled as vibrato, etc.). You can't do both at the same time, but here are yr options with the 2 footswitches = 1. Two diff't setable speeds of trem, 2. trem 1 / vib 2 (each with their own speed setting), and 3. two diff't setable speeds of vibrato.
I find this feature very useful, to be able to have a slow trem pulse then hit the switch and the speed ramps up is an extremely cool & musical trick to have up one's sleeve. Also being able to switch from trem to the warble of the vibrato (thought the vibrato effect on it is a bit on the subtle side) is mighty groovy. Also has a volume control, so you can set it where yr signal is boosted a bit when the effect is on - something no trem pedal should be without. So all in all i've found it quite good, espec for the price i got it ($100).

Ah, I see I see. Am I still able to buy the VibraVox or is it MIA?
