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.

Editorial Director Ted Drozdowski’s current favorite noisemakers.

Premier Guitar’s edit staff shares their favorite fuzz units and how and when they use them.

Premier Guitar’s editors use their favorite fuzz pedals in countless ways. At any point during our waking hours, one of us could be turned on, plugged in, and fuzzed out—chasing a Sabbath riff, tracking menacing drone ambience, fire-branding a solo break with a psychedelic blast, or something else altogether more deranged. As any PGreader knows, there are nearly infinite paths to these destinations and almost as many fuzz boxes to travel with. Germanium, silicon, 2-transistor, 4-transistor, 6-transistor, octave, multimode, modern, and caveman-stupid: Almost all of these fuzz types are represented among our own faves, which are presented here as inspiration, and launch pads for your own rocket rides to the Fuzz-o-sphere.
