FULLTONE USA MDV-3 multi-modulationAll CS MDV 3s with serial# 2892 &higher are the new V2: 1) available up to 15dB volume boost when pedal is on 2) much slower speeds available thanks to the dual potentiometer being replaced by 2 x Fulltone Custom made Optocouplers. 3) even more lush and watery 'vibe sound. 4) like its identical circuit twin the CS MDV mkII, it only draws 35mA of current allowing you to power it with just about any 18 volt DC outlet, or even with 2 x 9 volt DC outlets

All CS-MDV-3s with serial# 2892 &higher are the new V2: 1) available up to 15dB volume boost when pedal is on 2) much slower speeds available thanks to the dual potentiometer being replaced by 2 x Fulltone Custom-made Optocouplers. 3) even more lush and watery 'vibe sound. 4) like its identical circuit-twin the CS-MDV mkII, it only draws 35mA of current allowing you to power it with just about any 18 volt DC outlet, or even with 2 x 9 volt DC outlets by using the Voodoo Lab PPY voltage doubling cable." All MDV-1 &MDV-3 pedals sold after 2/10/2015 operate exclusively on an 18 volt DC power supply. The Fulltone IPS-18 is the only Noise-Free switching-type adapter you can get, and is included with your purchase. The Fulltone IPS-18 is "regulated" which means it produces exactly 18 volts, keeping the internal bulb at the correct brightness. Do not use other "switching type" power supplies as they all inject hiss, hum, and a high-pitched squeal when using certain effects. Real Estate is precious, especially on your pedalboard, but the lush organic sounds of a perfect "authentic vintage Univibe clone" are a necessity, and they are now attainable in a space now smaller than a standard wah wah pedal... the Mini-Deja'Vibe3, MDV-3 for short. With a Hammertone Blue powder coated finish, White lettering, and a Blue LED that throbs to the beat of the pedal's hypnotic, asymmetrical rhythm. The MDV-3 has a new heel or toe activated True-Bypass footswitch that is perfect for the person who rarely changes speeds and just wants to turn it on or off with his toe, but also perfect for the person who rides it like a Gas-pedal and wants to turn the pedal on/off with a simple flick of the heel (see the MDV-3 video at youtube.com/fulltoneeffects) There are a LOT of pedals claiming to be "authentic vintage Univibe clones" on the market...the small ones are merely a glorified MXR phaser filled with opamps with a few capacitor changes. That's not a Univibe! So how is one to know which pedals are real and which ones are just a cheap shortcut? A real Univibe clone will have: 4 x glass covered/hermetically-sealed photocells and an incandescent bulb on the circuit board. I go one step further...and NO ONE else does this, I took many real 1960's 'cells and blueprinted them, not only their dark/bright resistance, but also for their all-important rise and fall times as they react to the light turning on and off. This is deep E.E. stuff, cannot be done unless you have the know-how and the expensive scopes. Run at 18+ volts. Totally discrete electronics, i.e. NO OPAMPS in the audio path! In typical Fulltone fashion, I also manufacture my own geared potentiometer &Optocouplers used to control the speed, which is why Fulltone 'vibes get a much wider range of speeds than other 'vibe clones. I've been building "authentic vintage Univibe clones" longer than anyone, since 1992. Mine are used by Robin Trower, Peter Frampton, Doyle Bramhall II, and countless others... by the people who know great sound and won't settle for less."

Simplicity
Color: Black/Orange
This watch was received exactly as advertised. First off the watch is economical compared to other watches that advertise the same details. I will say that I have gone through numerous Luminox watches only to be disappointed. This watch fits the bill. It does have solar cells which mean it needs to be exposed to light to keep running, not a problem. Three minutes under my surefire light I am golden. The bezel doesn't rotate actually no big deal for me. I have always required that the bezel moves not anymore after having a bezel that rotates I use it next to never. Here's why, the more I rotate the bezel the more the numbers wear off. The strap on the watch with the catches for the strap are perfect. They actually hold the watch strap in place in lieu of like other big name brands that just flop and slide. As far as everyday use goes this watch is my go to. To be honest I have purchased three. This is the only watch I will wear moving forward, yeah the glass my scratch but even the big names like the Luminox I spoke of earlier scratches too.

Thumbs up!
Color: Stainless Steel/Blue/Stainless Steel/red-blue
Amazing watch with fabulous details for any Snoopy fan. Very slim profile for an automatic watch. Colors pop. I wear this watch in the shower and swimming and it's water resistance is on point. The watch also has light-charge lume, which is a wonderful detail. I own several Peanuts x Timex, but this is easily my favorite.

Beautiful Retro Inspired Automatic watch.
Color: Stainless Steel/Black/Stainless Steel/Red Black
First I'd like to start by addressing one of the other reviews. This is an automatic watch so it is wound by motion but it also can be hand wound via the crown. The myota movement (citizen) is rated for about 40 hours fully wound so if used properly and worn daily (and if set correctly) it should run throughout the night and still be the correct time and date when you are ready to put on in the morning. This watch band style is one that isn't used very much any more and requires a screwdriver or tool to open the wedge on the lower latch to move it to the correct place on the band. This is easier to size than most metal watch bands and is much more flexible. Once you set it to your wrist size it shouldn't fall off and the adjustment shouldn't move unless it isn't set properly. It has a latching mechanism that should snap together and hold tight. It can be hard to get used to putting on at first but after a few times you will know how to easily put it on. I've owned a watch band of this style previously on a watch I wore daily so it was okay for me. I'd say that anyone looking at an automatic watch is probably more of a watch enthusiast and already knows the little nuances of owning one. If you are new to watches do your research first. Otherwise if you want something a little easier get the Timex Q version of this. It comes with a battery powered quartz movement, while it ticks a bit loudly, is a little easier to live with if you aren't accustomed to automatic watches. This is a beautiful Retro Inspired watch, I got it while it was on sale for 120 and it's a steal at that price.

Great Re-release
Color: Stainless Steel/Black/Stainless Steel
So, let’s get my bias out of the way. This was a birth year re-release so I had attachment already. The appearance is so timeless yet you get when it comes from. The case is beveled much like a diamond deconstructed. And the plating is to a mirror finish on top but is brushed on the sides. Really classy. The lens is nice and domed, yes it’s acrylic and will probably get beat up, and a protector is out the window because it’s raised but the dome is such a character in the vibe of this watch. The metal strap is unique both in design and thinness. Now there are some negative reviews on this clasp. It can be finicky, but there is a right and wrong way. Really make sure the two hook tabs are firmly seated on the bar before closing. If the clasp is tappy after clicking it, it is most likely clicked above where it needs to be. Re-seat the hooks and make sure when it clicks in, if you tap the top there is zero rattle. I also suspect people are having issues not properly seating the adjust tab when changing length. You must make sure it is seating between links or it will open on ya… Accuracy wise, and power bank wise it falls shorter than what I am used to. If I don’t wear it after a full day of use and some manual winds even, it only lasts a day - still testing, because I swap out to a Seiko and a Citizen. Nice clicky one way bezel. Lume is pretty 70’s… But this watch is stellar. Timeless yet retro, classy but casual Tee and Jeans worthy. Definite score.
