How deep is your funk?
Nothing lays down the funk like a Clavinet. The legendary Clav is one of the most instantly recognizable sounds in pop music, cutting through mixes and firing up dance floors for more than 50 years. But as a professional musician, you want your sound to be funky - not your gear. And vintage Clavs are notoriously heavy, hard to keep in tune, and inconsistent from note to note.
Enter the Vintage Vibe Vibanet™ - a dramatically improved Clav that relocates the bright, punchy sounds of the original into a thoroughly redesigned modern instrument loaded with new features.
A secret weapon for the funk patrol
From its custom-built pickups and preamplifier to its built-in auto—wah and the most even muting system you‘ve ever heard, the Vintage Vibe Vibanet truly brings the best of modern design to a classic instrument. Onboard 3-band EQ and four pickup selection options allow for virtually limitless tonal possibilities, making it easy to dial in everything from classic funk to harpsichord and slap bass sounds. All this versatility comes in a sleek new design that is barely half the weight of a vintage Clav.
