Description
Magnatone's amps from the 60's featured a unique varistor-driven vibrato effect.
Whereas more traditional amps had tremolo, a rhythmical volume fluctuation, Magnatone substituted real pitch vibrato – a unique effect you can hear on records by Lonnie Mack, Robert Ward, Robert Cray, Neil Young and Jason Isbell.
Surfy Industries' Surfy Vibe is a beautiful recreation of this pitch-bend effect in a handy small effects pedal, with controls for speed and intensity. From a primitive chorus effect to moody slow slight detune/vibrato to full on organ effects, there's a lot to like in this retro-inspired pedal.
