Jimi Hendrix played at Maui on July 30th, 1970 for 400 people during the movie called Rainbow Bridge in Hawaii. Jimi was all dressed up in a black shirt with round silver and turquoise balls on its sleeves shirt and 2 silver/white lines and all-black Oxford bellbottom pants, Jimi wielded his amazing Olympic White, maple necked Fender Stratocaster & his Flying V Gibson guitar. That is why the New SABBADIUS Maui Funky-Vibe comes in that black color with Blue LED´s.
Now SABBADIUS introduces the Maui Funky-Vibe version to commemorate this amazing concert.
The SABBADIUS Maui Funky-Vibe version has 2022 edition 7mm CUSTOM-MADE CdS Photocells made exclusive for SABBADIUS Electronics and an original 1970s Japanese lamp bulb to give that “CHEWY” classic tone of a good Uni-Vibe. The SABBADIUS Maui Funky-Vibe version has more control in the range of fast SPEEDS and less low speeds increasing the phase wave modulation as heard in the “HEY BABY (NEW RISING SUN) song”. “To get that tone you can play with the INTENSITY knob from 4 to 7 and the SPEED knob from 2 to 4 to get that nice and chewy low-end Uni-Vibe sound he used to use”.(This setting can vary from unit to unit considering that potentiometers usually have a +- 20% tolerance, I advise you to follow your own ear to identify which is the best setting for you).
The New 2022 7mm CdS Photocells are CUSTOM-MADE for SABBADIUS Electronics and will increase the throb INTENSITY in all aspects and you are going to feel that swirling sound that JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCED with THE original Uni-Vibe HE used.
* The transistors used here are 2sC828 for signal path and 2sC539 TYPE OF TRANSISTOR for the Pre-Amp section like in the original Uni-Vibe. The pedal features 3 knobs, which set VOLUME, INTENSITY, and SPEED. It has a 1/4-inch (6.5 mm) output connection for an expression pedal allowing you to control the speed with your foot (Expression Pedal NOT included). It also features 2 footswitches: one of them activates the effect for True Bypass, and the other switch is the CANCEL function that allows you to use the pedal as a Pre-Amp or like the original Uni-Vibe effect sounds…, this means that you turn off the lamp bulb keeping a high impedance in the photocells that gives to the sound a wonderful Pre-Amp like Original Uni-Vibe’s did in the foot control pedal with the tact switch. It has a hand-painted soft switch with an airbrush and enamel paint lacquered with gloss lacquer for the longer durability of the paint.
The RED/WHITE soft Rocker Switch is for you to set the modes, when the RED POSITION is DOWN, it activates the “CHORUS” MODE, and when the WHITE POSITION IS DOWN you are in the “VIBRATO” MODE.
The SABBADIUS Maui Funky-Vibe has a built-in transformer inside the enclosure like the Original Uni-Vibe has with the correct power and voltage to get the best performance and has the cable cord from the unit to connect to the wall.
The INPUT transformer can be a 100Vac, 120Vac, 127Vac, 220Vac, 230Vac and 240Vac.
The pedal will be shipped with the correct transformer to the country that places the order, for example, if you are from the U.S.A. you will receive a SABBADIUS Maui Funky-Vibe with a transformer inside of 120Vac INPUT, if you are from SPAIN you will receive an inside transformer of 230Vac.
The pedal has a Fuse socket with a fuse inside that is there to protect the circuit in case there is an overload on the voltage. The unit comes with one fuse inside and one outside as a backup and also comes with 2 PCs. 2sC828 transistors for the LFO circuit in case you shortcut them by connecting a wrong cable to the FOOT CONTROL jack or an incorrect Expression pedal. Please read the other sheet that comes with the pedal on How To Make an Expression Pedal for your Funky Vibe.

Since all Sabbadius products are completely manufactured and assembled by hand, they may have one or another scratch or chip on the paint, keep this in mind as some enclosures may have these small damages to the paint or cabinet, this does not mean that the product is broken or damaged since if the product leaves the Sabbadius laboratory it is because it works perfectly 100%, claims of this nature are not valid. Thank you very much for understanding.
