After extensive research that included vintage documentation, consultations with experts, and analysis of multiple original Uni-Vibe units from 1968 to 1974, Sabbadius Electronics discovered several component differences among those units—ranging from capacitors and resistors to light bulbs and photoresistors (LDRs). These subtle variations helped shape the iconic sound of different versions.
As a result, SABBADIUS now offers 3 meticulously crafted versions of the Funky-Vibe ST:
VERSIONS AVAILABLE SABBADIUS 1968 Funky-Vibe ST: Based on the original 1968 Honey UNICORD Uni-Vibe, this version is the most popular and widely associated with Jimi Hendrix. It offers a higher maximum speed than later models, delivering a deeper, more responsive modulation effect.
SABBADIUS 1969 Funky-Vibe ST: Modeled after the 1969 Shin-ei Companion version, which took over production after Honey UNICORD went bankrupt. While retaining the Uni-Vibe’s essence, it includes internal component changes that give it a slightly different tonal character, reminiscent of tones used by David Gilmour, Robin Trower, and late-period Hendrix.
SABBADIUS FILLMORE EAST Funky-Vibe ST: According to some Uni-Vibe experts, this Uni-Vibe version is possibly the one Jimi Hendrix used in 1969 and 1970, whereas others said that Jimi used a 1968 Uni-Vibe in the United States and a 1969 version in Europe. The thing is that if you pay attention to the sound from the same song played in the U.S.A and compare it to the one played in Europe, including England, you will notice that the Throb of the Vibe and the effect’s “wave sound” do not evoke the same “Chewy” sound we might find in Jimi’s performances. Now I found that the SABBADIUS FILLMORE EAST Funky-Vibe version captures that “CHEWY” SOUND similar to the 69 & 70 Uni-Vibe version.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:
· – Transistors: Matsushita 2SC828 for the signal path and 2SC539-type for the preamp stage, as in the original Uni-Vibe.
– Custom-made 7 mm LDRs (CdS cells) built exclusively for SABBADIUS Electronics.
– 100% hand-wired and hand-soldered circuitry
– Fully analog circuit
– NEW: The current PCB layout now matches the physical size of the original Uni-Vibe circuit from the late ’60s and early ’70s. After building and comparing more compact versions up to serial number #1999—which used the exact same circuit but in a smaller PCB footprint—we discovered that the larger, original-style layout imparts a unique tonal “mojo” to the sound. This subtle but noticeable sonic enhancement has been validated through direct comparison with an original Uni-Vibe unit owned by SABBADIUS.
CONTROLS AND FUNCTIONS:
· VOLUME: Sets the overall output level.
· SPEED: Adjusts the modulation rate.
· INTENSITY: Controls the depth of the modulation.
· CHORUS/VIBRATO Rocker Switch:
o RED DOWN: CHORUS Mode
o WHITE DOWN: VIBRATO Mode
· CANCEL Footswitch: Deactivates the internal lamp and disables the modulation effect, allowing the unit to act as a high-impedance preamp—just like the original Uni-Vibe when its foot controller’s tact switch was used.
· TRUE BYPASS Footswitch: Premium 3PDT switch for bypassing the effect.
· LED Indicator: Pulses in sync with the internal lamp, showing the modulation speed.
· POWER SWITCH ON/OFF: Turns the unit on or off.
· Fuse Socket: Protects the circuit from voltage surges. Includes an internal fuse and an extra spare.
· EXPRESSION PEDAL JACK (6.5 mm / 1/4” Amphenol): Allows real-time control of modulation speed.
IMPORTANT: Only use a specially built expression pedal. A detailed SHEET MANUAL is included (EXPRESSION PEDAL NOT INCLUDED).
CONNECTIONS
· INSTRUMENT IN: 1/4” (6.5 mm) Neutrik input jack for instruments.

Not as good as I expected
When it first came, the box fell apart as I was taking it out, and a lot of some kind of dirt or sand kept falling out all over my table and floor. I had the take the entire thing apart and thoroughly wash it. After drying age reassembling it, I tried it on my portafilter that came with my Breville Barista Express, but, somehow, it doesn't always make the tamping level. You would think with the ridge that rests on the side of the portafilter that it would force it to remain level, but, somehow, it doesn't, at least not consistently. It also has varying lengths (heights, or depths), and a single spring tension, so you may still over tamping or under-tamp. I was expecting it would have a censor that would just detect once it reached 30 lbs of force and cut off after that, similar to a torque screwdriver, but that's not what this is. I'll still give it 3 stars because, despite the problems mentioned above, it at least produces some amount of consistency, even if that isn't measurable; but, I can't give it 5 stars because of those issues mentioned above.

This is the one.
Size: 58.3mm, Color: Black
As an el Supremo Coffee Geek, I've wasted money on lots of different tampers. Save your money and buy this one or it's equivalent. This thing is heavy duty, solid, well-made, self-leveling, tamps at 30 pounds and is fool-proof even for fools. Also, it's a palm tamper meaning more fun and more satisfying to use as you prep the puck for your morning buzz. Buy it. You will thank me.

Super easy to use and takes the guess-work out of getting even pressure on the grounds
Size: 58.3mm, Color: Black, Size: 58.3mm, Color: Black
I have been using a hand tamper for many years and have a good idea of the pressure I am applying to the grounds in the portafilter. I honestly considered spring tampers to be a bit silly. But this tamper really does take the guess-work out of pressing the coffee grounds. The shroud helps guide the press so that pressure is applied even and flat across the surface. With the manual tamper, there will be some play when pressing, or some unevenness in pressure. This is especially true when cranking out many espressos during a breakfast party with friends. Having the spring tamper makes quick work of turning out a lot of coffees with consistency. There are no instructions for taking this tamper apart to clean inside, and you may not really need to do that very often. After each use, just pull back the shroud (the black piece that moves up and down) and wipe off the tamper (the shiny steel part). This will help prevent grounds from working their way inside. If you do want to take it apart, it’s easy. Pull back the shroud and unscrew the tamper. It will come apart into three pieces. Wipe the pieces off and reassemble. Super quick and easy. This tamper is very heavy. My scale shows 656 g (about a pound and a half). It fits the portafilter exactly, with no slop. Just place on top of grounds and press!. Don’t even worry about pressure, just push down all the way. Overall I had fun using this tamper versus my manual one. And since I make myself a cappuccino very early in the morning, I don’t have to be very awake to get a good pack on the grounds and get my coffee fast!

It is heavy
Size: 58.3mm, Color: Black
Item was as described and shipped promptly. It is heavy and works well with my portafilter. I haven't had it long enough to really evaluate how helpful it is.
