U-Vibe
The U-Vibe model is based on* the now-legendary Uni-Vibe,
which was put on the map in 1969 by Jimi Hendrix. Essentially
a four-stage phase shifter, the Uni-Vibe is best known for
its watery texture and sultry tones. One listen to “Machine
Gun” and you’ll know what we mean. You can recreate the
effect of the original Uni-Vibe’s vibrato switch by turning
the MIX control to 100% wet. (That’s what the switch did
on the original.) The DEPTH control acts like the Uni-Vibe’s
“Intensity” knob.

Opto Tremolo
The Opto Tremolo model is based on* the optical tremolo
circuit that was used in the blackface Fender® amps, like the
‘64 Deluxe Reverb® and ‘65 Twin Reverb®. Basically a light
bulb and a photo-resistor, when the light got brighter, the
tremolo got louder. It’s a very smooth, even tremolo, and the
obvious choice for use with the amp models that are based on
Fender® originals.

Rotary Drum + Horn
Fine furniture and cool tones — the Leslie® 145 that the Rotary Drum
+ Horn model is based on* gave you both at once! That tube-driven
behemoth (you definitely don’t want to try picking one up on your
own) features a belt-drive rotating high frequency horn along with a
downward-facing 15-inch speaker that had a segmented drum spinning
under it to disperse the sound. It was originally designed to be used with
electric organs like the Hammond B3, but once guitarists (and even
vocalists!) heard it, they just had to get in on the rotate-o-rama. Our
model gives you all that whirligig glory, without giving you a herniated
disc. Slow/Fast switch acts like the one that came on the Leslie 145’s
preamp, ramping between the two speeds. This effect also gives you
TONE and MIX settings. For the truly authentic kind of spin that a
Leslie delivers, you’ll want to set the MIX knob to max, since a Leslie
had no ‘dry’ path.
