Custom Shop Mini Deja Vibe mkII (CS-MDV-mkII)

It's here! The CS-MDV mkII...the world's smallest (3.9" W x 4.1" L x 2.3" H ) yet biggest sounding "real vintage Univibe clone."

Is it better than the larger silver CS MDV-1 that it has replaced?

No, it's the same, only much smaller, retaining the expression pedal out jack should you need it, and still with no ICs and using only full-size capacitors throughout the entire audio path! It's 100% Analog, you can't get this sound out of the flavor-of-the-minute digital pedals using a $3 DSP chip. You need 13 transistors, 4 x glass photocells, a real & correct incandescent light bulb, and 30 years experience...you need the Fulltone CS-MDV mkII.


Features:

• 30% smaller enclosure than older MDVs, still with top-mounted jacks for tight spaces.
• Now has MUCH slower and MUCH faster available speeds (than all older Fulltone vibes) achieved by replacing the standard Speed pot with a Fulltone designed & custom-made Photoresistor, while retaining the original Univibe's unique Analog Oscillator circuit and 100% analog warble feel.
• The CS-MDV-mkII has a linear ramp up of the Speed knob (and external pedal). This is the bummer about older Deja'Vibes, other clones, and original Univibes: the speed controller has a spot where everything happens, making it hard to find the right speed. Problem-solved with the mkII.
• The CS-MDV-mkII has an External Pedal jack allowing the use of virtually any expression pedal out there, whether it has a 10K, a 50K, 100K, etc potentiometer.
• The CS-MDV-mkII has twice the available volume as any vibe clone, assuring that you don't get bogged-down in the mix when you kick it on... without being bright and cold sounding, and a super-low output impedance so it is not affected by pedals that come after it and shines with the dirtiest of amps!
• 100% correct Vintage Univibe analog circuit with no opamps in the audio path, still using 13 discrete transistors, still the Fulltone proprietary glass lens/hermetically sealed photocells with correct incandescent bulb.
• 500mA Fulltone IPS-18, the only Noise-Free “worldwide ready” switching-type power supply in the world, is included free with every CS-MDV mkII!
