Very few demos of it online except for a bunch of old stuff. I know Castledine is very well respected and does a ton of super expensive tonebenders and the like and that at one time his Supra-Vibe was very highly regarded. Don't really hear them mentioned in the 'what's the best vibe' conversation any more so was wondering if more recent offerings from others have superseded it.
Sadly it's not really something I can easily demo for myself.
Had my mind/heart set on a Reaver FX Violet Vibe from the US which is a great price but including shipping and the import duty sting it will certainly come to more than a brand new Castledine would.
Anyone got one or used one and can comment?

Having owned a bunch of vibes they all sound good until you hear one better and then you can't go back!
So it's a bit of a gamble on a relatively pricey bit of kit.

No idea what the Drybell does to get to a regular single pedal size but there is certainly some compromise.

Yep I use it a fair bit. The only modulation on my board and I'm pretty addicted to that sound.
Started off with Micro Vibe / Soul Vibe, then a Lovepedal Pickle Vibe, then lots of different phasers, then a Ventura Vibe, then a Lovepedal Vibronaught, then a Drybell Vibe Machine 2, then a JHS Unicorn v2, then a Jam Retrovibe mk2 and now a Vibe Machine 2 again which I got in a part-ex.
Of all of those the Retrovibe stood head and shoulders above but I feel I've not touched any of the 'big boys' yet. Castledine and Violet Vibe are probably the cheapest of those, going up the Shin Ei and whatnot...
