New Pedal – Black Cat Vibe

Black Cat Pedals just announced that they are in the process of releasing a new pedal called the Black Cat Vibe. Currently, there is a two month wait for the Black Cat Vibe, but you can get on the Black Cat Vibe waiting list by sending them an email (details further below).

The Black Cat Vibe was the flagship pedal of the original Black Cat line (circuit design similar to the original by Fred Bonte). It was widely known as one of the best Univibe recreations out there. The Black Cat Vibe has been built to match those original specifications but also with some improvements. They recently released a rough demo of the Black Cat Vibe:

As you can hear, it sounds pretty amazing. Thick and rich univibe-esque vibrato! The Black Cat Vibe will retail for $334.95 USD (less than the original). It will also come with an expression pedal jack for speed control. The Black Cat Vibe also uses the flashing internal lamp with photo-resistors (how they did it with the original Univibes).

I have personally played a few Black Cat pedals (currently have a mini-trem on my board now) and the build and audio quality is top notch. If you haven’t looked at Black Cat before, they’re definitely worth a look.
