Comes with an adapter and battery. Simple controls. Internal tone pot set at factory, and actually is just fine. You can dial in some nice SRV sounds ala little wing, or something less rotary shifting into hendrix territory. Trower and Floyd settings, that ain't too shabby. You can set it for a nice subtle shimmer, which I use when shifting into a chorus, to just add something different from the verse. Or you can get Leslie effect. It's got 2 stages, which is sort of like an old MXR phase 45. It's far creamier than the current MXR 90, which is a 4 stage phaser, which has, to me, an unwelcome aggressive distortion. <br /> <br />Overall, if you're looking for a univibe, phase or rotary effect that's extremely portable (don't expect it be like a rack unit or a stand alone leslie) and accept it for what it is, you won't be disappointed. <br /> <br />My current rig Telecaster > planet waves chromatic tuner > boss AW-3 > mxr super comp > bbe green screamer > proco you dirty rat > bbe soul vibe > boss dd-3 > combo with reverb Rating: 5 / 5 keyboards Built solid.

The problem is that some of them are very expensive for an effect that you may use on occasion. The Soul Vibe is very simple and has a very warm univibe effect. Very Trower/Hendrix like. Through Amazon you can get these for around $100 and that's the best deal you'll get on a quality univibe. Despite the goofy graphics the pedal is well built and has true bypass. This is my first BBE pedal but after getting this one I'd get another one in a second. I've got my eyes set on the two timer analog delay. Based on my experience with the Soul Vibe and everything else I've heard, BBE pedals really seem to be really quality peices for not a lot of money.

Nice warm, smooth tone. Sounds more like a $200 boutique pedal. Its analog circuitry really gives it a true vintage feel. Ive played the Dunlop Uni-Vibe, and the VooDoo Labs MicroVibe, and this pedal is as good, if not better than both its pricier cousins. The indicator light is actually much more useful (and pretty) than i thought it would be. I can say with complete confidence i have never gotten a better bang for my buck with any pedal (and i own many pedals!)...70 bucks!?!? What a steal!
