Well I did too and spent the massive sum of £24 for a Dano Cool Cat Vibe CV-1 for the privilege!
If you know anything about you will know is all about the 'vibe'! To explain what it is:
"UniVibe is a footpedal-operated phaser or phase shifter for creating chorus and vibrato simulations for electric organ or guitar. It was introduced in the 1960s by Shin-ei, and was intended to emulate the "Doppler sound" of a Leslie speaker. Though not a very successful Leslie simulator, the Uni-Vibe has become an effect in its own right, putting its stamp on tracks like Robin Trower's "Bridge of Sighs", Jimi Hendrix's "Machine Gun" and Pink Floyd's "Breathe". The effect, though often associated with chorus, is in fact created through a staggered series of phasing filters, unlike the usually aligned filters of a normal phasing effect" - Good Points: Is Solid, funky green and great fun!
Adopting subtle settings, you can additionally drive the signal with other FX into a cranked amp, dial back on your guitar and blend in and out as you need emphasis. You'd never know was only £24 pedal!
A Les Paul and a BIG Fender Amp and you are planted back in the late 1960 psychedelia...! - Bad Points: Some 'critcs' beomoan the split-sec delay before the effect engages as the buffers load up, but this is not life or death - adapt your playing... you are probably just sitting at home anyway... who cares?? I don't.
