Castledine Supra-Vibe - Now the Supra-Vibe appreciation thread

Is that true bypass? Keep thinking it's the TS buffer.

It goes vibe >bc109>Klone then into the quartermaster. The skreddy is true bypass. Could be the TS buffer causing you grief

ah cool. It's not grief per se, just a bit of a balancing act.

Just bumping an old thread. I'm thinking of ordering a violet vibe but something about the Castledine has caught my ear. How are you both getting on with the supra vibe. As good as the violet is something tells me the supra will do subtle vibe sound better?

Sadly sold during lockdown to raise some funds will definitely buy another. 

The Supra-Vibe is beautifully subtle but can get nicely intense. The switchable preamp is beautiful as an always on sweetener.

The Violet Vibe sounds like a sledgehammer to the face approach.  Lovely in isolation and demos but I think it would be a bit too much for me after a while.

Sorry to hear that. But yeah that's my thinking, I'm not so much into heavy throb more like Floyd style Breathe swirl.
