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)

This Japan-made Guyatone brings back memories of hitchinā€™ rides around the U.S.

This oddball vintage Guyatone has a streak of Jack Kerouacā€™s adventurous, thumbing spirit.

The other day, I saw something I hadnā€™t noticed in quite some time. Driving home from work, I saw an interesting-looking fellow hitchhiking. When I was a kid, ā€œhitchersā€ seemed much more common, but, then again, the world didnā€™t seem as dangerous as today. Heck, I can remember hitching to my uncleā€™s cabin in Bradford, Pennsylvaniaā€”home of Zippo lightersā€”and riding almost 200 miles while I sat in a spare tire in the open bed of a pickup truck! Yes, safety wasnā€™t a big concern for kids back in the day.
