Stage Vibe by Vintage Vibe

[Chris Carroll]

Hey Everyone,

I am writing to let anyone know who has purchased a Stage Vibe in the past that we have come up with a mod for it, that we will install for free to anyone who has one purchased before 12-07

The original Stage Vibe as well as the original Jordan pre amp could only handle 2/10th of a volt on the input . With later Rhodes pianos the pick up wiring is different and has a higher output, which can cause the Stage Vibe to distort  if the pick ups are to close to the tine or if the keys are hammered to hard.
Since  December we have added a trim pot that smoothes this all out and we could not be happier with the results. I personally love the Stage Vibe and i am very proud of it.  Just contact us if you want to send yours in for the  free mod.

The FET Tremolo on this unit is So authentic 1960's sound, it is just creamy.

On another note, we are not offering the Quadrapuss at this point, we have sold out of them for the most part, thank you to everyone who took part in the adventure of this piece. As we said in the beginning it was only a 50 pc. run.  It was a very big undertaking to build and offer the Quadrapuss and we sold most of the units at a sale price and very few at the original price needed to make it profitable for us.  Unfortunatly they will go down as collectors items, it is possible we may have a couple more at some point but not now. So again, Thanks to all who took the faith!

The Stage Vibe still lives and is going stronger than ever www.vintagevibe.com for anyone who is interested in this great piece, feel free to call and speak with me anytime 973-989-2178

All the best to everyone in the New Year!
We want to wish John at Major key  Health and Strength Peace and Light during his illness

I bought one of the "prototype" there is exactly one year ago...

but I'm too far away to bring my Stage Vibe...or to send it via air-mail.

I'm very very happy with it, it sound like you said : full and creamy. Never had problems with distorsion or anything else.

i'm fine with mine too, chris.  my rhodes is from early '72 so i don't have the problem you described.

happy new year!

Hey, could some of you tell me something about the pot distances. I would say that the knobs are pretty cose to their neighbors and therefore hard to use.

Am I totally wrong ?
thanks in advance

It's fine. I reckon they have made some changes over time.
There is a Rhodes with the Stage Vibe for sale in the UK on Ebay, and I noticed it has totally different knobs than mine. Maybe Spookyman's are different too.

You got me, I saw that on Ebay UK aswell and thought these knobs are so close ...
thanks

Yes...they are quite close to another ! So if you are tone tweaker, maybe it's not the best. You will have a lot more space on a Minimoog...

I'm more the "player" guy. Once i have the sound, i dont change the setting of EQ, or not so often. I'm more tweaking my stereo Tremolo Pedal, to change the speed and depth.
