King Tone Guitar Vibe 1968 V1 – Original Version

Original King Tone Guitar Vibe 1968 V1 in near-mint condition. No original box.

One of the best modern takes on the classic late-’60s Uni-Vibe circuit, and the original version of King Tone’s Vibe 1968 before the later revisions.

This is a proper all-analog vibe built around an incandescent bulb and matched photocells rather than a digital approximation. Deep, chewy and three-dimensional, with the slightly uneven pulse and movement that makes a great vintage-style vibe sound the way it should.

The clever part is the dual-channel design. Each side has its own Speed, Depth and Chorus/Vibrato setting, so you can have two completely different sounds ready to go. Switching between the channels smoothly ramps the speed rather than jumping abruptly – particularly effective when moving between a slow, deep swirl and a fast Leslie-style sound.

There is also a surprising amount of adjustment available internally, including bulb, bias, ramp speed, overall depth and high/low speed range.

• Original V1 version
• 100% analog signal path
• Incandescent bulb and matched photocell design
• Two independent channels
• Separate Speed and Depth controls for each channel
• Chorus / Vibrato selectable per channel
• Smooth speed ramping between channels
• Internal fine-tuning options

A genuinely excellent vibe and considerably more versatile than a traditional single-speed Uni-Vibe-style pedal.

Works perfectly and is in near-mint cosmetic condition.
