Vibrato pedal

zepp76

As I've still got a fair bit of space left on my wonderful Smorg board I've decided to fill a bit of it with a vibrato pedal. What would you fine people recommend? There seems to be quite a choice when it comes to vibrato so what's hot and what's not?

Tremolo, Uni-Vibe or actual vibrato?

For trem, the Dr Scientist Tremolessence or the Zvex Sonar are highly regarded

For Uni-Vibe, the new Digitech is meant to be good

For actual vibrato, you could do much worse than the new Waza VB-2

I think a uni-vibe will be more up my street, I mentioned vibrato as I wasn't too sure of any difference. As long as it gets me as close as possible to replicating the warble of a Hammond organ. I hope that makes sense?

Budget? It's how long is a peice of string on uni vibe stuff.

I guess around £150 for a used pedal would be my limit. (Although I have been known to go way over budget!)

Warble of a Hammond organ is more Leslie type stuff isn't it? There were a couple of mini vents in the classifieds.


I sold my drybell for around 150. If you want univibe then snap one of those up if you see it..

http://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/73886/koch-and-organ-insert-your-own-joke-here#latest I think one of the best faux organ sounds I've heard on a guitar in that clip, although clearly a lot of it is in the fingers still. Seems to be a Neo Ventilator. Shed load of money though and the mini vent isn't much cheaper. Having said that I was watching a thing with Paul Gilbert the other day and he does a fair Leslie type thing with an MXR Phase 90.

I think it's a Hammond that's used in No Quarter isn't it? Also what is Jimmy Page using in the same song, is that a uni-vibe? Sorry for all the questions and being vague, I'm pretty much new to the world of pedals so it's a steep learning curve and I've already spent a fortune on pedals this year!

Toss your chorus pedal in the bin & get a Tortuga Martini Chorus/ Vibrato. All thanks to be sent via PM.

Mojo Vibe is a great option too.
The Martini rocks.

For cheap:

Moen Shakey Jimi

Danelectro Cool Cat Vibe

(yes, they both have the real lightbulb thing going on)

Mid priced:

BBE Soul Vibe

Voodoo Lab MicroVibe

Lovepedal vibronaut. You'll definitely get one 2nd hand for sub £150, it's small, got a lot of range and sounds great.

The Catalinbread Callisto does a very nice chorus through to vibrato range of sounds - not uni vibe style but clean pitch modulation vibrato 

Edit: sorry just read through the thread properly and it is uni vibe style that's required, 'umble 'pologies

I'll check them out chaps, thanks. I've already bought a vibe, an EQD The Depths optical vibe but still may be open to trading it for another vibe in the future. It's this one here:
