Makes sense to me.
On a side note, the Warped Vinyl doesn't do univibe type stuff because for one it doesn't have that much low end throb, that's also the only weakness of the pedal in my view but then again it's very common on vibrato / chorus pedals.
If it had more low end throb or a way to dial that in all the waveshape and parameter assignment options etc. would have more effect I think, to be honest I'd rather have something like that than the warp control.
Another thing that would be nice is a general tone control like the Cosmichorus V3 has so you can have true pitch vibrato and still keep the edge when you use it with drive or fuzz, now if you turn the mix up to 3/4 and up it loses a bit of high end which you might not always want, it's still better than most other vibrato pedals / modes though.
I must say I really love it and I think it's worth the price, as a whole it's a very lovingly and well put together package.

Maybe Joel will build a Warped Bass Vinyl?

The fuzz pedlols fuck everything up...
True on so many levels. Sig'd.
I want to buy New Monitors. Fuck. New fuzz boxes ate all the Cash. Fuck.
Thanks ma for the Sig. You know the shit.
Regarding the warpend Vinyl: Tristian brought that pedal to my House. That Thing is amazing. Sounds spectacular Good and warm. I was instantly jamming ideas. Best Thing pedals can do imho. I didn't buy it. I have a moog Cluster flux already.

@Chank:
Yeah, that'd be awesome, I'd have mine modded right away even if I play guitar!
@uni:
Stay pedge, git those monitors mang!
Same here, the day the Warped Vinyl arrived here first thing I did was jam with it sitting on the ground for more than an hour until I got up and my foot was sleepy.

Tristan, I'm sure bassists & keyboardists as well as us low-end loving guitarists would appreciate that.

I hear ya. I don't have one either as I can't justify the money, but I don't think the pedal is unfairly priced either and I think Joel makes a pretty decent explanation for it. I'm not trying to say it is worry that much for you though.
I don't know of any presets system implemented like this either. That's gotta take some serious know how to do. Consider a fuzz face retails for 99 bucks for the cute little silicon fella (which I gas for because cute). That's a 50 year old design with less than 20 components, including the hardware! Arguably that's way less value in real terms than the warped vinyl. But gear purchasing isn't meant to be rational

Clearly, you haven't seen my spreadsheets.

I have I dunno around 50 pedals on my spreadsheet with an order I should prioritise them in(I thought I was the only one with a spreadsheet..) and I just bought one that's not on there and one that I already own.

yeah im with goroth, the price is entirely justifiable for what it does
its not within my budget constraints and i probably won't ever get one, but the features and quality justify the price

I have a text file.
Also another reason I hesitate to flip the Vinyl is that it feels like the kind of pedal that will go for stupid prices if it's ever discontinued.

I'm a small-time guy and I do what it takes to make customers happy. I could do that mod very easily... right now the wet side of the circuit loses some subtle low end... I do a treble boost after the bucket brigade filtering because there is something about treble boosting a low pass filter that makes thing sound magical to me. I've re-voiced 2 Warped Vinyls for folks that thought it was too dark, and they've been very happy with that. I love the stock "darkness" especially for chorus, but everyone is different.. With so many manufacturers going to surface mount components, that is one major advantage to having thru-hole technology for the analog pathway, it's easy to do mods and make the pedal your own.
The major downside to doing mods is that it's just too costly for international customers like Tristan. Of course.
I've also thought of doing a hi-fi warped vinyl. high headroom and low noise, same kind of thing.... it wouldn't have the low end loss either so that could be something for the bass players.
I know I've said this before, but I just fucking hate how expensive it is. Their aren't too many nice things about having it be expensive, but typically when people buy one they take a little time to figure out how it works and are naturally pretty sophisticated pedal users (otherwise they wouldn't drop that much dough on a pedal), so that is a weird side benefit. I'd much rather have them be $100 cheaper though.
