Sabbadius Electronics Chewy-Vibe
Maker: Sabbadius Electronics
Model: Chewy-Vibe
Condition: New
Description:
Jimi Hendrix played different effects in Studio including Fuzz, Octavia, Uni-Vibe´s, and allways was trying different things to create new an original sounds and this is why SABBADIUS created this new Chewy-Vibe Edition that is a sound replica of the RT-18 (Resly Tone).
The SABBADIUS Chewy-Vibe is the Mastermind Mode on the Limited Edition Mastermind Funky-Vibe relesead in 2021, is more kind a Phase Shifter sound, the wave is rounder and juicy than a Uni-Vibe. The SABBADIUS Chewy-Vibe is equipped with 7mm CUSTOM-MADE CdS Photocells made exclusive for SABBADIUS and an original 1970’s Japanese lamp bulb to give that “Chewy”classic tone of the RT-18 Resly Tone effect . The SABBADIUS Chewy-Vibe has more control in the SPEED knob that goes from really SLOW SPEEDS to crazyness FAST SPEEDS to hit all the parameters a SPEED knob needs to cover in this type of pedal.
The New 7mm CdS Photocells 2022 CUSTOM-MADE for SABBADIUS will increase the throb INTENSITY in all aspects and you are going to feel that wet juicy swirling double pulse sound.
The transistors used here are the Matsushita 2sC828 for signal path and 2sC539 for the Pre-Amp section like in the original RT-18. The pedal features 3 knobs, which set VOLUME, INTENSITY, and SPEED. The SPEED Knob is on your right side allowing you to control the speed with your foot. It also features 2 footswitches: one of them activates the effect for True Bypass, the other one switch is the CANCEL function that allows you to use the pedal as a Pre-Amp, this means that you turn off the lamp bulb keeping a high impedance in the photocells that gives to the sound a wonderful Pre-Amp, in the Chewy-Vibe using it as a Pre-Amp you have 2 different Pre-Amps sounds, switching CHORUS mode will give you a nice Pre-Amp sound, but if you set the rocker switch in VIBRATO you will get a FAT BOOST that will blow your mind how BIG and FAT your guitar sound gonna be.
It has a hand painted soft Rocker switch with airbrush and enamel paint lacquered with gloss lacquer for a longer durability of the paint.
*The Chewy-Vibe is the sound of the RESLY TONE RT-18, you can hear this “liquid, juicy and Chewy” sound effect in a fast speed in the Jimi Hendrix and Larry Lee song called Mastermind in “West Coast Seattle Boy: The Jimi Hendrix Anthology Album”.
CHORUS / VIBRATO Rocker Switch:
The RED/WHITE soft Rocker Switch is for you to set the CHORUS and VIBRATO Modes, when RED POSITION is DOWN activates the “CHORUS” MODE and when the WHITE POSITION IS DOWN you are in “VIBRATO” MODE.
The SABBADIUS Chewy-Vibe works with DC 18v-200mA power supply for better results, you can use DC 18v-100mA if you want too and will work just fine!.
