DryBell Unveils the Vibe Machine V3

DryBell Unveils the Vibe Machine V3

DryBell is pleased to announce the latest evolution of their highly praised modern classic: The Vibe Machine V-3!

The main difference between V-3 and V-2 is in the modulation EQ. V-2 modulates just a slight part of your main tone (mid-range focused modulation), while V-3 blends in nicely with your main tone and modulates it without changing the EQ. V-3 has a wider modulation and brings you more depth. V-3 has its own colorful magic going on.


There are 6 'set and forget' side trimmers:

  • CHORUS (adjusts the 'chewiness' and depth of vibe modulation)
  • GRIT (overall presence of the V-3)
  • CUSTOM (adjusts the input impedance)
  • SYM and RANGE (define the light bulb bias and character/response of the Vibe movement)
  • VOLUME (boosts your volume above and beyond unity gain)

Each of these controls can help you achieve that classic deep throbbing pulsating sound which can be adapted to any type of gear you use.

  • CANCEL function (gives you the specific sounding bypass tone of the original Uni-Vibe)
  • TAP TEMPO feature
  • Fast/Slow with adjustable LeslieĀ® ramp delay
  • Two speed function (user defined speed settings)

The Vibe Machine V-3 requires standard 9V, 170mA power supply.

The voice of the guitar can make the unfamiliar familiar, expand the mind, and fill the heart with inspiration. Donā€™t be afraid to reach for sounds that elevate. A host of great players, and listening experiences, are available to inspire you.

In late fall, I had the good fortune of hearing David Gilmour and Adrian Belew live, within the same week. Although itā€™s been nearly two months now, Iā€™m still buzzing. Why? Because Iā€™m hooked on tone, and Gilmour and Belew craft some of the finest, most exciting guitar tones Iā€™ve ever heard.
