What everybody else has said is true: this thing is stupidly good for the price! I don't use it a lot, but I can't think of what more I would need out of a vibrato pedal. Has a nice, old school sound. Seems to be built very sturdy. And obviously doesn't take up much space on the board at all. I could see these becoming super sought-after in about 20 years. Just pick one up! Even if it sits in a drawer, it's only about 30 bucks lol

This is the best Vibe pedal I'v ever heard and I had a lot of high end pedals. Thick and full, the best Hendrix or Trower sound bar none! Except for one thing you "can not" add this to a OneSpot adapter daisy chain it needs it's own 9V power adapter, you can put it anywhere on your pedal board but not anywhere in a chain it just wont work. But for the price and the sound just get another 9V adapter from Amazon for $5.00 and you are still getting a great pedal...

Good vibrato pedals are usually expensive. I have been wanting to buy a popular model for a long time, but I was not willing to spend big bucks for one. I could not find a good deal on the used gear market either. I found this unknown pedal on Amazon and I thought to myself, " a vibrato pedal branded Kokko...what a joke!" After a while I added it to my wish list, just in case...Then one day I decided to take the plunge and try it.For a generic pedal brand, 37 bucks is a significant amount of money. But if this turned out to be a good vibrato circuit design, then it would have been worth it.Well, I am happy to report that this is a very good vibrato in a nice, solidly built enclosure. The enclosure is nano sized. You can appreciate the size on one of my pictures which shows the pedal next to a Boss. The enclosure is all metal and has two thin foam feet underneath. This is rather fragile foam, and I don't expect it to last. The non-slip rubber pads included with other pedals like Donner, AZOR and others, appears to be much better quality.The control pots rotate smoothly but I wish they felt a little tighter. They rotate a little too easily, which makes the prone to change settings upon a bump. However, once the pedal is in operation, operation of the control pots is flawless.Controls are straight forward for a vibrato: Rate, Depth, and Ramp. I was a little confused about the Ramp control pot, but then I realized this is equivalent to the Rise control on a Boss Vibrato; it controls the attack time of the effect.All three controls interact with each other to produce a sweet spot. You will know it when you hear it; so I encourage you to experiment with it. If you have used a good vibrato pedal in the past, I bet you will be impressed by this pedal in a good way.My only gripe with this pedal is the quality of the paint job and labels. The pedal is coated with a matte paint that is rather dull; it looks like a coat of primer. The labels are also hideous. I am seriously considering sanding the enclosure, and repainting it with a decent enamel...that's how much I like the pedal. :-)One word of caution: This pedal is brand new, so I have no way to rate its durability or reliability (which are in fact very relevant aspects of a guitar effect pedal). If you are a gigging musician, and need proven reliability, you know you may be taking a big risk by going at it with this pedal alone. That is when spending big bucks on a pedal from an established brand may be the way to go.I will make the commitment to update this review in the future to reflect of the pedal's durability and reliability.

The first one I ordered sounded great for about 10 or 15 minutes and then it just died...nothing. Light stayed on but no sound. Sent it back and they replaced it free of charge with two day shipping.This one sounds great and has been working fine for the past couple weeks.I'm a pro musician/teacher. I've owned a lot of pedals over the years. This vibe sounds great, nice and chewy tone. And it takes up a very small foot print. As long as it keeps working and doing its job I'll stay happy with it.

No manches es un excelente booster... Y más cuando lo pruebas en un bass pasivo... Mejora definitivamente los graves.....

True bypass, quiet switch. Volume level is not affected by the pedal, whether off or on. Quality of the effect is quite good. This pedal provides a wide range of vibrato effect, and can add a sweet modulation to a delay that doesn’t have it. The ramp control eases the effect in and out, if desired. Full CCW is off. Great value!

I am pretty happy with this pedal. I have tried a few options in this price range and a few less than $150 and this one is by the far better than any that I have tried. It has good tone, the controls work nicely, true bypass, and feels well built. It doesn't muddy/empty up the sound at all, its a clean sway. It isn't going to be better than your expensive options like a original UV-1 obviously. But, if you are looking for something less than $150, this is worth a try. I love it.
