Thank you
for purchasing the
Vibe Machine V-2
pedal from
DryBell, Croatia
. This is the Options manual. This user’s
manual is for users who want to experiment and play with secondary options that are built into the Vibe Machine V-2. But
if you have purchased the V-2 pedal, you don’t have to change anything if you don’t want to.
For the last five years we have collected feedback from our respected customers and developed these unique
additional features for the Vibe Machine product series, we wanted the Vibe Machine to have a wider set of useful options
to meet the requests put forward by customers. So, we hope that you will find some of these features useful for your
specific needs and also for your pedalboard system. It is important to note that you only need to set the pedal the way you
want it once and it will keep your preferred settings. The pedal can be reset to factory settings at any time very easily using
this simple step: just press the footswitch once, release it and then move the CHORUS/VIBRATO switch up and down
several times. We have provided short instructional videos for most of these features on our YouTube channel (
).

WHAT CAN WE DO WITH ADDITIONAL OPTIONS
EMBEDED IN THE VIBE MACHINE V-2?
✓
The Vibe Machine V-2 has Cancel mode, Tap Tempo mode, Two speed mode and Fast/Slow Leslie
®
mode with
adjustable Leslie ramp delay.
✓
You can use almost any type of expression pedal (Linear taper, Volume pedal taper, HotPotz II (I) taper, ICAR
taper and more) for external speed control, or you can control speed with control voltage 0-5V (CV).
✓
With an expression pedal connected, you can also put the V-2 pedal in Cancel mode or you can use expression
pedal for Tap Tempo mode, rocking the pedal to set the speed.
✓
Users that have a Mission Engineering EP-100K expression pedal that they used with earlier versions of the
Vibe Machine V-1 can use it normally for the V-2 too.
✓
Instead of an expression pedal you can use an external footswitch for controlling the Fast/Slow Leslie
®
mode,
Two speed mode, Tap Tempo mode or Cancel mode.
✓
For Tap Tempo you can select various multipliers.
✓
You can still adjust speed with the regular speed potentiometer mounted on the top of the pedal while the
expression pedal is connected.
✓
The V-2 has two types of Cancel mode: original Uni-Vibe® Cancel where the input guitar signal is colored and
slightly boosted, or Vibe Machine Cancel where the cancel tone is colored in the same way but un-boosted.
✓
You can enable or disable the Cancel function when using an expression pedal, so, if you want you can use
your expression pedal without the Cancel function.
✓
You can fine tune your expression pedal’s taper with 3 different curves, or if needed you can calibrate the
expression pedal's speed range.
✓
You can invert the direction of the expression pedal and/or select the Cancel activate position (heel down or
toe down).
✓
You can use latching or a momentary type of external footswitch.
✓
You can switch off the incandescent light bulb when the pedal is in bypass and extend light bulb life. In this
case, when you turn the pedal on again, it will take about 2 seconds until opto-system reaches its nominal
dynamic working state.
✓
If you don’t want the system LED to blink constantly, it can be turned off when the pedal is in bypass.
✓
Max speed is adjustable. You can enable the speed limit function for your expression pedal or the regular
speed pot separately.
✓
The V-2 pedal can check if the power supply being used is producing suitable power for the pedal, even if other
pedals are connected to the same daisy chain power line.
✓
You can reset all these functions and modes to our default FACTORY settings using a one second step.
