So some blues dudes bought the name to start making really expensive univibe clones? And they aren't even called univibe? Can someone who knows more weigh in on this???

Can confirm that it's made by alcoholics that wear khaki shorts, pink polo shirts, and Miami Vice-level sunglasses that call everyone "bruh."
Who else would make something called the "Vibe-bro?"

They even ruined the tee shirts. What the fuck does "serious effects for serious players" mean? Most of the people who made the brand legendary can barely play...

Why not do redo some of the rad shit that hasn't been cloned a million times already, like the surf-wah-hurricane?

I don't see what the problem is, its got top mounted jacks.

I think the name, look, and marketing strategy are geared toward the upper echelons of Hendrix wannabe blues lawyer, doctor, hedge fund devil investors. People who have scratch. Not shoegazer baristas holding off on buying a new pair a Vans so they can purchase some micro-mini-digi-shimmy-verb to fill up the last open 3 square inches of space on there super awesome pedal board.

Having said that, I will say that I don't think having Kenny Jane Shepherd demo your product is a good marketing strategy. Even if it is aimed at blues lawyers.

I feel your pain. Only, I need a new pair of moccasins.

New shoes on the breadline here too.
But I'll probably get an oscillating Superfuzz next.

Yeah this whole thing stinks of horseshit.

I haven't gotten new shoes in the last five years.
Checkmate athiests.
