The THICKEST Vibe?

Throw some reverb on top of vibe and virtually any of the name brands will get you there.

FWIW, the absolute best vibrato I ever heard was coming off a Magnatone Stereo Twilighter guitar amp. It has one of the few built-in true vibrato (as opposed to tremolo) circuits out there.
 
The Voodoo Lab Micro Vibe is awesomely thick and murky on bass. Running distortion or fuzz in front of makes it even more awesome, and somehow makes the pulses of the vibrato more articulate.
 
having owned both the Voodoo MicroVibe and EQD Depths, I must say I consider both to be fantastic but I would consider The Depths much THICKer.

Yes, the throb and voicing do add quite a bit to the fullness, but I find the intensity range much more than the MicroVibe and that's where I try to establish the big fat sound.
 
CHeers guys.
So were all these vibes above nice and THICK?
So far the Lovepedal Vibronaut, EQD The Depths have my attention since they have the ability to change the character/voice of the effect to get it more throbby, deeper, bassier etc.

I was playing a Pedulla Pentabuzz through an Aguilar TH500 into a Bergantino 212 (I think a CN but I can't recall exactly). The vibe on the Nebulus was wonderfully thick and meaty (ewww....), but that may have had as much to do with the bass and amp/cab set up than it did with the pedal itself.
