'69 Fender Vibratone

here's my '69 Fender Vibratone. Fender variant on the Leslie model 16 speaker cabinet, as CBS bought both Fender and Leslie in the mid-60s. on this short clip, i switch between both Chorale (slow) and Tremolo (fast) settings to achieve those classic sounds made famous by Hendrix, Harrison, Clapton, Gilmour, and of course Stevie Ray Vaughan.

@robertgroove66 the roto vibe is pretty decent but nothing compared to a vibratone
-
Wow, that thing sounds amazing. The first 40 seconds was amazing

Exactly! The nature of the reflections depend on the room and are so complex that not even modelling software could properly recreate them and even then it would be an emulation of the recorded sound. Nothing can simulate actually being in the room with one of these.

That pitch modulation is the FM or Frequency Modulation part of the sound. There is also AM or Amplitude Modulation. The sound raises an lowers in volume as well as the sound goes toward your ears and away from your ears.
The mix of FM and AM is not possible in a Univibe or other phase shifter, chorus or flanger. Even if the effect is modeled well, it can't recreate the sound bouncing off the walls, floor and around the room, like the real thing.

Robert Groove66,
I love the vibrotone rotary deals and yours sounds wonderful. I was wondering if you could do me a favor and check out my "blues guitar" video. I have my Leslie 18 running in some parts of the video. I love the thing but I was curious to see what a vibratone owner would think of it overall. I don't really ever meet many folks that actually run Leslie cabs in their rig.
I plan on doing a formal review soon for it.
Thanks for your time.
