Moen MO-VB2 Shaky Jimi Vibrato Chorus Guitar Effect Pedal

I have a number of vibe pedals, and to date, the Moen Shaky Jimi Vibe seems to check all the boxes. The Hue control allows you to match the vibe response to the character of your guitar sound in a very versatile way. The Chorus setting offers nice subtle pitch warble which I also use to give character to the sound rather than a pulsing rotary effect. Quiet, too! On the Vibe setting, I tend to use a very slow speed so that I get a nice phase shift twice per 'cycle'.My other vibe pedals: Dunlop Univibe, The Depths from EarthQuaker Devices, and the TC Electronics Viscous Vibe. I do love the VV, but get alot of digital noise unless I use a wall wart instead of the built in power supply. This is definitely going on my pedal board...

There are some unique tones here and it is VERY comparable to other pedals (that are double this price or more). It's a great value with a lot of versatility to dial in on. It's not my favorite pedal, and it has a pretty large footprint, but it can add a lot of color without changing your tone too much.

I actually wanted a Fullertone vibe but just cant spent the $$ for one when I saw this on YooToob. This is is actually quite good, especially for the low cost. As for the sounds, I like the Vibe sound, but not the chorus so much. but that's just me. Which doesn't matter because like me, most players already have their chorus. It also records well.

I run this mostly for the vibe. It does volume drop upon engagement not a big deal for me because I usually play whole songs with the vibe on. The hue knob gives this pedal its advantage I can dial in the sweet spot on my tube amp and solid state just the same. It is pretty quite but, you will hear the photo cycle if you feed it a lot of gain typical with most. For the money I don't see a comparable, not for the sound that this produces. Is it Fulltone Deja Vibe nice no but, for 1/3 of the price its gold. I pair this up with a lot of other pedals and the most impressive is the sonic maximizer. These two pedals are made for each other. The clean vibe alone makes your ears melt, add a little dirt and open this thing up and Purple Haze all day.

Fact is, while I was searching for a Vibrato pedal, the suggestions were a danelectro, the dunlop uni-vibe ($160 and always sold out), the JH univibe (impossible to aquire), the rotovibe, and a bunch of other poorly reveiwed pedals. Not only is the Shaky jimi good for the price, its better than what one would think, at least if you know how to use this pedal. Some speculate signal drop off, but put it after a pedal with high output on your effects line and it compensates.You have to have a good ear for this pedal to make sense to you as well, and know just what it is that the knobs are altering. It works well with other pedals as long as its the last in the chain. It also shines through single coils...

I don't know how this thing gets more than 1 star from anyone as it completely sucks the tone out of a signal. This pedal is a Tone Vampire. And I tried a whole lot of EQ tricks to preserve tone. I hate this pedal.

Nothing great.

It's pretty good. I don't use it as much as I thought I would, though.
