Having quickly become a fan of our Vibe Machine, Rude shared his impressions of the Vibe Machine V-3:

The Vibe Machine has such a rich, lush tone. I love putting it on a slow and low setting to use as an “always on” pedal for certain songs and then dialing up the speed and intensity for a full 3D sounding fast vibe effect in other places. It’s a super inspiring pedal that is so much fun to play!”
