Fulltone MDV mkII
What is an “original Univibe?” It is a four-stage Phaser effect made between late-1968 and 1973 designed to replicate a Leslie rotating speaker by using a tiny incandescent light bulb shining on four photo-resistors housed under an aluminum shroud. This odd circuit offered a watery, thick, and unique blend of pitch-bend vibrato and chorus-like phase-shifting.
Although it didn’t sound too much like a Leslie, its sound took on a life of its own, a sound heard on many recordings by Jimi Hendrix, Frank Marino, David Gilmour, and Robin Trower. Original Univibes were extremely large, heavy effects boxes mated to an external wah-type foot-pedal controlling the modulation speed via a 5 pin, quick-disconnect cable.
Old ‘vibes were very inconsistent from one unit to the next and were prone to malfunctioning, with no one knowing how to fix them let alone how to make them sound good again....well, almost no one. Michael Fuller started out in the ‘80’s collecting, dealing, and repairing ’vibes, which lead him to the idea of re-designing and building a bullet-proof new ‘vibe clone in a smaller footprint. Enter the Fulltone Deja’Vibe in 1993 with the goal of making a True-Bypass ‘vibe that was more reliable and that was 1/4 the original Univibe’s astronomical used-market selling price! Fulltone have been making “the exact original Univibe clone” ever since, with Robin Trower and many others using them exclusively the entire time.
Fulltone is the only ‘vibe using custom-made original-specification photocells, other companies buy incorrect ones from a DIY website because they didn’t spend thousands of dollars blueprinting every aspect of these original photocells like we did.
They also devised a way to use our custom-made Optocoupler for controlling the speed of the oscillator and the external speed controller, providing much slower and faster available speeds than other ‘vibe clones.
You don’t have to be a huge Trower or Hendrix fan to appreciate the mkII, you just have to appreciate that massive pulsating wall of sound it creates when you switch it on. Play on!

My name is Michael Fuller, I'm the founder, designer, and President of Fulltone Musical Products Inc.
2018 marks our 25th Anniversary, but I really started Fulltone around 1991 while working as a Session Guitarist, a Composer, Performer, and Electronic Tinkerer. People started calling me asking for my pedals after I was featured in Guitar Player Magazine as one of the winners of their "Ultimate Guitarist Competition" competition.
Fulltone pedals were born out of a love for music, great gear, great tone, and a desire to make bullet-proof products. Early on I developed a love for fine vintage pedals and my frustration at the inconsistencies and the fragile nature of this old gear drove me to start Fulltone. Rich, Fat-sounding TONE TOOLS with a reliable build quality is the goal. All Fulltone effects carry a 5 year warranty and are built for (and by) musicians.
We use True Bypass switching or our exclusive "Enhanced Bypass TM" (OCD V2, WahFull) with L.E.D. status indicator in all our pedals. I designed and manufacture the Fulltone 3PDT , the world's only Super-Duty Triple Pole Double Throw footswitch. All of Fulltone's Pots and switches are designed by me and custom made for me because standard pots are extremely weak and can break with even slight pressure applied to them..
All Fulltone pedals are designed, hand-built & tested by us at our shop in Southern California using top-notch components.
I'm really enjoying playing and producing our product demo videos (done at Fulltone Studio) so please check in regularly at our official YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/user/fulltoneeffects
Thanks!
Michael Fuller/ President
