I N T R O D U C T I O N
Thank you for purchasing the Vibe Machine V-2 pedal from DryBell, Croa a, and a big thanks to
all of you who bought the V-1. The Vibe Machine V-2 is a top quality Uni-Vibe® type pedal
developed to the highest possible standards. The analog signal path was designed with discrete
transistors, just like the classic Uni-Vibe®, but made with small electronic SMD technology. Its
reduced size makes it perfect for a smaller pedalboard. The Vibe Machine V-2 is one of the
smallest and greatest sounding vibe pedals in the world, with all the original Uni-Vibe® op ons
and much, much more. We have embedded many new op ons into the V-2, developed from
our experiences with the V-1.
INTENSITY (pot) 1
Controls the depth and the character of the chorus (vibe) or vibrato sound, as well as
defining the strength and dynamic of the pulsing nature of the effect. A more pronounced
effect starts from around the 2 o'clock posi on onwards (check the heartbeat sign on the
silkscreen). The contour of the intensity knob is custom designed to enable quick and easy
setup of different vibe sounds.
SPEED (pot) 2
The SPEED knob adjusts the speed of the chorus's pulse (vibe) or the vibrato sound. Its size
and placement also makes foot control possible. When using an expression pedal, it is
possible to turn on the Leslie® ramp delay (speed up/slow down) feature. When this op on is
ac vated, every me you move the expression pedal to a new posi on, the oscilla ons
gradually speed up or slow down to the new posi on. To ac vate the Leslie® ramp delay
op on you just need to move the speed knob from the MIN posi on. You can then adjust the
Leslie® ramp delay by rota ng the SPEED knob. For addi onal op ons for the SPEED knob,
please refer to the Op ons manual.
VIBRATO/CHORUS (2-way switch) 3
This toggle switch selects between the classic chorus (vibe) sound and the vibrato sound, a
very underused part of vibe pedals. This effect can give a great sense of movement. The
toggle switch has an internal connec on to the Intensity pot, so the contour of the Intensity
pot is different for Chorus or Vibrato se ngs. We find this to be be er because the V-1
needed intensity to be manually decreased when it was set to Vibrato mode.
ORIGINAL/BRIGHT/CUSTOM (3-way switch) 4
With this new 3-way toggle switch you have much be er input impedance control on the fly.
Original Uni-Vibe® units had rela vely low input impedance and a warm tone, so for that
vintage "Vibe", set the switch to the ORIGINAL posi on. For a full bright tone flip the switch
up to the BRIGHT posi on. If the Vibe Machine is the first (or only pedal) in your effects chain,
this se ng will use the en re tonal range of your pickups. If any other pedal with a similar
buffer is placed before the Vibe Machine, the ORIGINAL/BRIGHT/CUSTOM switch will have
no effect and the tone will depend on that buffer. A third op on is available when you set the
switch to the CUSTOM posi on where you can then adjust the brightness (input impedance)
with the CUSTOM side trimmer (6). The CUSTOM trimmer gives you the brightness range
between the ORIGINAL and BRIGHT se ngs. This trimmer only affects the brightness when
the switch is in the CUSTOM posi on.
VOLUME (side trimmer) 5
This trimmer adjusts the level of the output signal. The volume cannot be reduced to silent at
its lowest se ng and the maximum se ng boosts your volume above and beyond unity
gain. With a higher volume se ng you can push your amp or next pedal for a dirty-vibe
sound. So, find your preferred effect volume, set it and leave it. In the ORIGINAL posi on you
may have a small bit of volume loss due to ORIGINAL having low input impedance. In bypass
this trimmer has no effect. To set it, please use the small screwdriver included in the pedal's
box. This trimmer is set to 1 o'clock by default.
CUSTOM (side trimmer) 6
This trimmer adjusts the input impedance when the ORIGINAL/BRIGHT/CUSTOM switch is
set to the CUSTOM posi on. If you switch guitars on stage, some mes you may want to flip
the ORIGINAL/BRIGHT/CUSTOM switch to balance your guitar's brightness. This trimmer is
set to 12 o'clock by default.
CHORUS (side trimmer) 7
This trimmer is used for se ng the depth of harmonic modula on when the V-2 is in
CHORUS mode so the user can adjust the swirl/watery/chewy character of the chorus
sound. The deepest modula on is between 2 and 3 o'clock, and at 12 o'clock is the same as
on a V-1. It has an impact on all frequencies. If you play in a band, we recommend that this
trimmer is set to about 12 o'clock (like on the V-1, where it is fixed internally) because at this
se ng your guitar will cut through the mix be er. The CHORUS trimmer also affects the low
end frequencies of the chorus throb. This trimmer is set to 2 o'clock by default.
GRIT (side trimmer) 8
This new control adjusts the overall presence of the pedal's tone and it is VERY interac ve
with the volume of the output signal. If you set the GRIT trimmer to CW, the VOLUME
trimmer should be set to CCW and vice versa for the approximate same level of output
signal. Try a fuzz/dirt pedal or just an amp a er the V-2 and with GRIT you can find your tonal
sweet spot with whatever is next in the chain. The GRIT trimmer adjusts the behavior of the
A-class output buffer circuit and it is set to 11 o'clock by default. The internal jumper
featured on the V-1 pedals is replaced by this trimmer for more prac cal output buffer
control.

™
straight out of the box. For addi onal op ons and many more detailed
features, download the Op ons manual (Doc. No. DM0958) from
www.drybell.com.
TRUE BYPASS (footswitch, LED) 9, 10
Each me you press the footswitch (9) the effect is turned ON or OFF. This means that when
the pedal is OFF, the internal circuits (and input/output buffer also) have no effect on the
signal path. When the effect is ac ve, the red LED (10) will always light up. This LED cannot
flash; when the pedal is OFF the LED is OFF too. The Vibe Machine V-2 does not have any type
of buffered bypass.
MULTICOLOR SYSTEM LED (green/red/orange) 11
The system LED (SYS) will flash green synchronously with your speed se ng. The system LED
is mul func onal and in different V-2 modes will flash in different colors and sequences. If
you want, you can turn off this system LED when the pedal is OFF. Please refer to the Op ons
manual for more informa on.
RANGE & SYMMETRY (factory-set side trimmers) 12, 13
These trimmers are used for se ng a desired throb sound. They are carefully calibrated by us
before shipping. If you s ll want to experiment, use the trimmer adjustment tool provided. You
can achieve a variety of throb sounds (from symmetrical to unsymmetrical). Be sure to mark
each trimmer's posi on with a sharpie or a black marker before you start (!) so that you will be
able to revert to your pedal's original se ngs, because these trimmers are very sensi ve to
small adjustments. For further details download the Symmetry and Range manual (Doc. No.
DM0963) from www.drybell.com/documents/Sym_And_Range_adjustment_DM0963.pdf.
PEDAL+ (for connec ng an expression pedal or external footswitch) 14
The PEDAL+ jack on V-2 is mul func onal. In factory default mode it is set to expression
pedal without the CANCEL mode enabled. For external speed control (or CANCEL and TAP
TEMPO func ons) you can use an expression pedal wired p to wiper. Any expression pedal
that has a 5k-250k linear pot will work perfectly. Instead of using an expression pedal you
could connect a DryBell F1-L. This is an external footswitch which can be used either for new
V-2 func ons like the Leslie FAST/SLOW func on with adjustable ramp delay or as a two
speed switch without the ramp func on. Please see the wiring diagrams on page 2 of this
manual (20, 21). You can find addi onal info about expression pedal modes, footswitches
and PEDAL+ secondary op ons in the Op ons manual. For example, V-1 users that already
own a Mission Engineering EP-100K pedal can use it just the same with their new Vibe
Machine V-2.
If for some reason your expression pedal doesn't have a full speed range from minimum to
maximum, you can calibrate the Vibe Machine V-2 to work with your specific expression
pedal. This is recommended before you first use the expression pedal or in the event that you
replace it with a different one. The process for entering expression pedal speed calibra ng
mode and calibra ng the speed range is:
Step 1: Connect an expression pedal to the Vibe Machine V-2, then connect or reconnect the
power supply, wait un l the V-2 system LED starts flashing orange.
Step 2: Move the expression pedal quickly from full up to full down several mes un l the
system LED changes from red to flashing green.
A er the calibra on process the V-2 pedal will always go back to its normal mode
automa cally. You can only enter the speed calibra on mode within a few seconds of
powering up and then moving your expression pedal up and down several mes (during
those few seconds). To re-enter speed calibra on mode you need to disconnect and
reconnect the power supply to restart the process. Also check the Op ons manual for
further details.
POWER SUPPLY (no ba ery, only adapter) 15
You can use an unregulated or regulated 9V DC adapter (not included). The power
consump on depends on Intensity se ngs. With the Intensity pot at approximately 1 o'clock,
the average current draw is around 130mA. The maximum current peak is 165mA during the
pedal's start-up process. If the voltage on the DC connector is lower than 8.91V, the pedal
won't func on properly. The maximum recommended con nuous voltage on a DC power
supply input is 16V. The maximum allowed short-term voltage is 25V. If you use high voltages
in the recommended range (16V max), the Vibe Machine V-2 will generate more heat, this is
normal. Different voltages do not affect the tone or headroom of the pedal. The Vibe Machine
V-2 has internal protec on against reverse power polarity and sta c discharges. Also the V-2
pedal has a power supply check func on integrated. For more informa on on this, please
refer to the Op ons manual.
INPUT and OUTPUT (jacks) 16, 17
The input is on the right and the output is on the le side of the pedal.
RUBBER FEET 18
The package contains 4 adhesive rubber feet (18) which can be placed on the bo om plate of
the pedal. If you use velcro strips to install your pedal on a pedalboard, you may not want to
use the rubber feet as well. The velcro should be mounted in a way that the 4 bo om screws
(19) can be easily reached.
