Huh. I built the BYOC Vibrato in one night with zero issues.

I haven't tried that Behringer, but every other vibrato I've used cut my highs in a way I didn't like.

I don't have those kind of building skills. Also, I definitely don't want the highs cut, most of the harmonic content is where the vibrato really shines!

Just came across this...

I didn't realize the old one was so different... very musical vibrato all the way to crazy warbling goodness. However, it is in the old aluminum housing, taking precious real estate. Any one try the new XO one? Doesn't sound like it makes an impact unless you'd dime the depth. Maybe get this an dime it? I remember a couple years ago when I saw the VB-2 selling for mid $200, now it's averaging $400 plus. I almost feel it'd be worthwhile to buy two now and just to watch in go up in value. Jeez.

anyone know the song in that dudes intro?

I've read that dude say that the intro song is a song from his old band.

StopReferencing is definately right about a lot of vibrato pedals cutting highs. I'd normally say get a Cosmichorus but even with the tone knob all the way up, they cut the highs. Personally, I don't see that as a bad thing. I think it adds some very nice character to the overall "tone" and if it didn't change the sound like that I probly wouldn't get along with it too well. But I'm kindof a freak..

The most transparent vibrato I've used is the Strymon Ola. I guess because it's digital, it escapes some of the flaws of analog vibrato pedals. When I used the Ola for vibrato, I noticed no change in "tone" other than the obvious vibrato effect. It pretty much just sounds like your regular guitar with pitch shifting added. Definately little or no high end roll off(unless you roll it off with the tone knob).

The waveform of the Ola was also much more symmetrical and perfect sounding than analog vibratos I've tried. It just sounds like a perfect triangle waveform. Most analog vibratos sound like they have a little "kink" in the wave to me.

Only thing is the Ola is hella 'spensive. But for "transparent" and nice sounding vibrato, it's pretty amazing.

Yes, the one is the M9 is pretty good at emulate the analog kinks you speak of. It is a little too perfect and definitely not harsh enough. I love it nonetheless, I just would like an analog one too.

I'm not particularly skilled myself, which made me think the kit must have been super-awesome.

And just to make sure I came across clearly - the BYOC is one of the few (if not the only) Vibrato I've used that DIDN'T cut highs.

The full song with photos of his big collection of vintage pedals.. He said in videos he bought most on the cheap in the 80s when everybody switched to digital and dumped the goodies on the cheap..

The song is called Brilliant and the band Candleman Summer.. He played in that band if I am correct..
