millstap Chris, do you still use this at all? I recently met Nic and I like his new version of this. I had him add a "cancel" switch so it would act like the original and still have the tone circuit on when the vibe is off. Plus he made another discovery of the Vibe secret formula within the last month so it is improved even more.

Chris King Robinson I do mate! That's awesome, Nico is an amazing guy & always innovating on his tones! The cancel feature sounds ace :) I like that vibe baby you've been using too!
