Better than plastic pedals like for example Behringer or Danelectro.
A metal pedal can take harder use than a plastic one.
Maybe rephrase your questions.

As to your question what "vibe" is, I now know you mean the Danelectro Vibe pedal.
That effect is called a vibrato. What it does is altering the pitch of your note up and down very quickly.
Like what you can do on a fretless instrument... fretless bass for example. When you are rocking your finger on the fingerboard very quickly you get a vibrato effect.
Sorry for the snarkiness before, but I haven't been snarky to anyone in a while, so...

In this and other cases, it is a name given by a manufacturer to an effects pedal to invoke the pedal will give a similar sound as found in heavy metal style music. |

Listen to the sound clip and it's clear: http://www.coolcattone.com/product_vibe.html |

*which was often used for "tremolo" back in the day as well. |
