Blue Cat Audio - PolyVibe

PolyVibe is Blue Cat Audio's recreation of the vintage vibe pedal, the swirling, throbbing effect heard on so many late-60s and 70s guitar records, taken several steps further. It does the classic tones and then a lot more: chorus, phaser, rotary and even vocal-like wah sounds, all with that particular vintage flavour.

Beyond the pedal

The original filter designs are the starting point, and you get control over their shape and motion. Three filter modes (classic, reverse and phase) open up new effects, a swing control makes the modulation more musical, and stereo width is adjustable. The LFO can sync to the host or be driven by automation or a MIDI expression pedal, and the tone maps explorer makes finding new sounds quick.

Where it fits

Guitar first, obviously, but it's lovely on electric piano, organ, synth pads and even vocals. If you've ever wanted that wobbly, liquid movement on something other than a Strat, this is the ticket.
