The Vibraclone brings the lush, swirling tone of a 1960s rotating speaker cabinet—think Hendrix, Harrison, or Gilmour—into a compact, pedalboard‑friendly form. Designed to recreate the sweet organic modulation and dynamic overdrive of classic Leslie and Vibra‑Tone speakers, it delivers vintage rotary vibe without the weight or cost of a full cabinet.
🛠️ Controls & Features
-
Speed knob: Adjusts rotation rate, simulating the acceleration and deceleration of a classic rotary speaker for slow swirl or fast, pulsating motion.
-
Toggle switch (Chorale/Tremolo): Select between two voicing modes—warm and rich “Chorale” or lively, shimmering “Tremolo”.
-
Drive knob: Adds tube-like saturation and gain that thickens and harmonically enhances your tone, pushing from subtle grit to smooth overdrive.
-
True bypass footswitch: Preserves your pure tone when disengaged, with a bright LED status indicator.
-
Sturdy metal chassis & top‑mounted jacks: Built for rig reliability and pedalboard convenience.
-
Power options: Runs on either a 9 V battery or standard 9 V DC power supply (not included)—no fancy connectors needed.
🎶 Tone & Performance
The pedal excels in delivering dynamic rotary emulation with a rich analog-like texture. It can dial in anything from subtle, swampy movement to dramatic, sweeping psychedelic tones that shine in ambient or creative settings. The overdrive element adds dimension and harmonic flavor, making it stand apart from standard chorus or vibrato pedals.
Ideal For
-
Guitarists and keyboardists chasing vintage rotary speaker vibes without the cab chassis
-
Players working in styles like classic rock, blues‑rock, psych, or ambient textures
-
Anyone wanting hands‑on rotary control with simple layout and expressive motion
