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 (how’s that for cutting edge?) 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
