A snap to dial in a good tone.

I have tried everything, Mojo Vibe, Prescription Vibe unit, Uni-Vibe and others and none of them worked for me, the Jetter does work and likes to sit just before the compressor. Very quiet, I use 3 amps at once with other effects like overdrive chorus trem and delay, the Jetter sounds great with overdrive as well.

Like I said I tried a ton of "Vibe" pedals and none of them worked for me, this one is great and works with other pedals, no issues at all, a great Vibe pedal.

Real simple to use. 2 knobs, Speed and Intensity. Volume preset at a little above unity. It can run on a battery in a pinch, but use a power supply for normal playing. The led flashes at the speed and intensity settings - pretty neat!!!
I was able to quickly dial in real nice settings....everything at 1:30pm and instant Bridge of Sighs!
Best part, its a single unit so it gets high points for Ease of Use because you dont have to redo your pedal board to fit it.

Sounds great! Sounds like a high-class vibe. No muddiness in the bass or top end. Nice throb, depth and swirl. I have the Captain Coconut2 and the Deja Vibe and the Jetter Vibe is my fav. It has a more hi-fi sound than the others and just as much mojo as the Deja. I like it much better than the CC2. You can cop a lot of classic vibe tones, but more importantly, because of the way its voiced you can leave it on and play non-traditional vibe stuff and it really compliments your tone. You can be creative with it.
People will always split hairs when it comes to vibes and each vibe has its own "vibe" (hehe) and best application/context, but the Jetter is a great all around vibe and its a SINGLE PEDAL unit. That fact alone should make it a must have for gigging guitarists.

So far so good. I have a couple other Jetter pedals and they are solid and of the quality one would expect from a handmade boutique pedal.

Brad was awesome with emails and info. He responded promptly and was very concerned about me being happy with the pedal. I get the sense that he makes pedals primarily for the Pro level player. They need to sound and perform in real world settings and they are not designed to homogenize your tone or meant for the GC sales floor, if you know what I mean.

9 because nothing is perfect. But I do love the UFO graphic!!
Again, vibes are very situation dependent, but I think this one will give you everything you need for great vibe tones. A lot of people judge a vibe by how well it will do the exact tone Jimi got at such and such place on whatever day....well.....thats a pretty unrealistic standard for obvious reasons.
The Jetter Vibe is right up there with the popular boutique vibes and its a SINGLE UNIT so I highly recommend it.
