Mod with tap tempo

I'm keen on a mod with tap tempo, love my MXR Uni-Vibe but really want tap tempo. Looking at Chase Bliss stuff (Wapred Vinyl and Wombtone) and the Stoned Hz by Crazy Tube Circuits. I can only justify one and I want vibey stuff as well as light chorus. Any thoughts would be appreciated!

I've tried the warped vinyl and it soudns VERY VERY good. Tap works well. As far as modulation apart from Trem with tap goes in a band context? Its useful for recording, although the tempo syncing will be subtle in a dense mix but its pretty well inaudible from the audience live. These are expensive effects and may not be worth investing in unless you're planning to record soon. As awesome as the warped vinyl is, when set for conventional chorus/vibe sounds it sounds like most bucket brigade devices, no better or worse. You're paying for the tap tempo. Also, a univibe is more of a 4 stage phaser using a primitive photo-electric circuit than a BBD based pitch vibrato, you won't find the warped vinyl capable of reproducing that tone. A univibe is tis won thing.

Ah yeah I thought that might be the case, I'm sorta leaning toward the Stoned Hz then because it says its can do everything and from demos it seems to be able to do a lot. Only worry is there are so many dials etc it might become a hassle to quickly change...?

if it doesn't have preset storage it needs to be set and forget for live use... the audience can't stand it when you pause between songs to tune. They lose itnerest that fast. Only your mom will still be paying attention after you change the settings on your overly complex chorus pedal. I've seen a lot of bands thatw ere really great who manipulated their effects to do amazing things... but the audience just lost itnerest unless they could do it seemlesly without skipping a ebat or pausing for more than a minute between songs. You get like 1 tuning break at a small club gig where the signer will cover you by shmoozing before your audience is starting conversations or walking outisde to smoke til the enxt band is up... these thigns are studio toys or for established acts who have the audience's attention ebfore they even take the stage. Streamline, streamline, streamline until you have a following.

Just found this, may also be good? I've heard Moog are very good * https://www.moogmusic.com/products/moogerfoogers/mf-108m-cluster-flux

yes, its an excellent, feature laden BBD chorus/flange that can cover just about every 80s sound you can imagine and then some... its a pweor hog, can cause ground loops on pedalboards and takes a while to learn. I'm a big fan of Moog in my home studio. But I'm a synth guy. I actually don't use their guitar effects, they do too much. Check out the Minifoogers though. I hear the chorus is amazing.

Ha and crazily expensive! Well unless something changes it looks like I'll try to get my hands on something like the Stoned Hz because it's so versatile. Definitly keep Chase Bliss and Moog on my wishlist tho

what are you actually planning to use them for? these are coole ffects but unless you're regularly producing records or you're a member of my bloody valentine they're really overkill.

If you want a TZF flanger you can rgab a deco or the mighty foxxroxx TZF... if you want stompbox flanging look no further than an electric mistress clone for extreme stuff or a bossbf2 or Ibanez fl9, both cheap used and excellent, also capable of chorus sounds...

if you want chorus then you can't beat the DOD choruses and the CS9... for a little more money, both MXR choruses are pretty nice and highly tweakable.

all cheap options for great warble that's not like your univibe... don't overspend on an analog chorus/flange, I know your budget is limited.

Gilmourish stuff, I'm not really doing anything special I just really like cool gear ha! No I'm not recording or anything but I play out fairly regualrly

I lvoe gear too, but I wind up recording and mixing all the time and I have for many many years. I did lose a lot of junk during a period where Iw asn't doing any studio work.... Ic an tell you I am sitting on a mountain of money in pedals I plug in once a year at most. I am seriously thinking of losing more of them. I'll also tell you that I didn't really aquire them at retail pricing otherwise I wouldn't have bought them. They aren't improving my music 99% of the time. I forgot I woned a lot of them, that's how useful they are once the initial thrill of a new toy fades.

yeah i know what your saying, i dont have much stuff atm but it does seem aacumulate quickly...

my unsolicited advice is that unless you are flush with cash, don't just buy something just to buy it.... especially not at retail price. If you have a legitimate purpose for it then buy it, but try to get it on the cheap if you can. Buy used or wait for a sale. If you really have no idea why you need it and you can't get it cheap? Maybe wait until you know you REALLY REALLY need it because you're making a record or something where you just can't do without that sound creatively.

Ha! Good advice though, but good meme

I thought it was pretty fucking funny when I saw it! but really, I built up all my drool worthy gear despite being a poor person by being really shrewd about what i spend on. There's a lot of stuff I own or have owned that I wouldn't have bought if any of it cost mroe than 50 or 60 bucks back when i bought it. For that price? sure. FOr what that stuff goes for now? I dunno. I wouldn't have a 1962 ac30 if they cost $4k+ back when I bought it, but they didn't. They were 2kish and I got mine for even less being shrewd, patient and lucky. That's the secret of getting the really magic stuff. I wish i had been mroe shrewd with old recording gear but i didn't know enough about it until it was too late to find the good deals. Although I had some cool altec peices for awhile but I didn't care for them for my personal style of recording. Wish I had sat on them ebcause now they're worth way mroe than i sold them for. See? can't win 'em all, but you need to think about the point at which you want or need to sell an item. Assume that NOTHING is a keeper. Because very few pieces will be. Whats the resale going to be on a crazy tube circuits pedal versus what you pay out retail? The value will likely go down unless it gets discontinued and a SUPER famous guy waves the flag for it online. The Klon centaur phenomenon is a fluke... msot other hyper valuable pedals took decades to acquire any real value. just think that over.

don't be thinking "its only 300 bucks and it'll be SOO SOOOO cool at my enxt gig!" because that gig's going to pass and at the next one it'll seem a little less cool and when you're 300 bucks shy on that sweet guitar you found at the local shop you'll be like "I hope I can sell that chorus pedal for retail value on ebay because they won't give me jack for it as a trade in" but you won't. And there goes that sweet guitar to another dude.
