Green = Blue+Yellow

[Donner]

So, Like many of you I have long wanted the Minivibe to go slower .....
'
The MV is tuned for its usable range ~ as usual BJ trims off the' bad' sounds so the whole range of the dials are usable .... very good practice I think, and no easy task.

His vibe is unique and one reason it sounds so good is its a combination of manipulations that arent apparent when listening.

Like when your seeing a beautiful green color you arent thinking of it as a combination/blend of blue and yellow --- its green right ?!?

Well its green until you get too close too it then you can start to see the individual colors ....

The vibe is like this except with speeds. at its available speed range it is nicely blended and is a most wonderful modulation ,,, but when forced to go slower the magic blend is lost and its no longer green but blue and yellow ....... ( still with me ? )

so with some adjustment it will go slower - but then the faster speed doesnt sound properly green ..... not really worth it to have just a slow speed mini vibe ~~~~~~ unless we could put it in a smaller box at a much lower price ~~~~~ maybe someday

Great explanation...yeah, I asked Bjorn about this last year, and more specifically about an external jack option for speed control pedal, and he explained how it's set up to do what it does because of critical alignments made to get that sound at slow and fast settings, and that it isn't possible with that design.

Ha.....yeah, the one-knob Bearfoot "Mighty Slow Microvibe"

This sounds awesome -- the BJFe vibe is by far my favorite of Bjorns designs. I'd love to see what happens when it's pushed passed the normal limits of the circuit! I am definitely looking forward to hearing more about this

...yes it might be worth it now since we shrunk the vibe in the BearFoot version .... you could have a regular and a slow side by side in the same space and price as the full size BJF vibe.,.. and possibly run the slow and fast together for some Leslieish two rotor goodness ~ that could be fun

I'm pretty sure I need that in my life.
