Description
The Voodoo-Vibe is the latest evolution of the Univibe as used by Jimi Hendrix and Robin Trower. The Voodoo-Vibe+ will faithfully reproduce all the old retro sounds and incorporates the modifications I personally developed for Jimi. The Supervibe was my next evolution of the Univibe and many leading performers including Stevie Ray Vaughan and Robin Trower used this unit. The Voodoo-Vibe followed the Supervibe and is accepted as the industry leader and used by many top performers. The Voodoo-Vibe + also has a Tremolo circuit plus the usual Chorus and Vibrato functions and the control of the sound parameters has been greatly expanded. The addition of Pulse Square waveforms to the normal Classic waveforms is a valuable and useful addition to the sweep capabilities. The Speed of the sweep generator has also been expanded together with the Symmetry Range and these features greatly increase the options of producing many new and unheard effects and the Voodoo-Vibe+ is a modern and worthy successor to our very successful Voodoo-Vibe. The art of analogue processing has moved forward.
Technical: The Voodoo-Vibe is completely analogue in operation and exhibits a very transparent and full sound quality that is lacking in digital products that simulate chorus and flanging effects The digital zipper noise and graininess is eliminated and the guitar tone is maintained throughout the full dynamic range. Class A discrete circuitry is used in all audio stages and results in ultra high audio quality and very low noise. The signal to noise ratio of the unit is 102dB, which is about 12dB better than a CD. Extensive internal power supply filtering is used so that the low noise performance is maintained when using even the most basic commercial mains adapter or battery eliminator.

An interesting vibe with a lot of adjustment possibilities
This pedal rocks! I've owned so much vibe pedals, and the only one I really liked, was a Dunlop (the one before the vintage / modern switch came on).
But now my love is for this pedal! Roger Mayer created something extraordinary: a vibe pedal that looks like a vibe (big box), sounds like a vibe but is nowhere build like a (traditional) vibe pedal. And that counts: now you have all the fun and none of the noise!
Roger Mayer did a great job! I love mine. The trem option is just an amazing addition to the already packed and full sounding sounds! A keeper!

From RM's own website:
“I try working with effects and making effects work for me. “When I Was a Child” just came out of using this Roger Mayer Voodoo-Vibe pedal. I set it up and just started playing around with it. Before long, I had the first part of the verse, and then I though up the chorus afterwards. But it was really dictated by the effect and being inspired.”

This is really a Voodoo Vibe with the addition of a hardwired output (not true bypass) or two buffered outputs. The original Voodoo Vibe only has the buffered outputs (good buffer though). I suspect Roger to have also tweaked the filters (as the filters of the later Voodoo Vibe Jr are a tad different) but I haven't had the opportunity to check.
The plus version did have some issues with the wiring but an official mod / repair had been posted. This cures this problem
