Ibanez TC10, baby. It has independent chorus and vibrato controls that yields many sick combulations. In stereo always.

Research indicates it can also be modded to include tremolo and have super fast (OR SLOW) lfo rate. :excellent:

Warped Vinyl Mk1 could be had quite cheap. I love mine.
The diamond Vibrato is also sexy.
The Moog MF chorus does Vibrato with the FLICK of a switch and does it very fuckin well
Julia seems nice too

Spoilt for choice these days in the Vibrato game

The term mod isn't recommended anymore because it'll fuck up your shit.

Your demo of the Holowon Tape Soup has given me permaGAS for that particular flavor of vibrato--just something sweetly wonky about the lfo waveshape, plus sounds kinda lofi wooly to me.

I console myself with a Warped Vinyl and am getting to know Generation Loss. Love the vibrato on Meet Maude--wish it were a bit more controllable.

Dry killed phase shifters have a nice, subtle pitch sway with a touch of throb--Magnatone'esque--can be very satisfying for those times when only smoove moves will do. Check it out on the Empress Phaser or Whetstone--IKR--a lot of dolla for a little wobbly.

This applies to Univoibe clones with a vibrato mode to a degree as well--just some of the megaphasers give you a greater degree of tone shaping....


MXR chori with a dummy plug in the stereo out will give you a true pitch vibrato with a tone control--noice proice!

Pitch Pirate in the infinitesimal range between 6:30 and 7:15 on the depth dial--also nice.

Instant Lofi--I liked it; didn't lurve it--didn't get that special something that the actual lofi junky gets, so it was hard to filter out the disappointment and judge it on its own merits...I always wished you could control the compression level without turning it into a chorus.

Meh, I'm a vibrato ho.

Spurt.

Univibe vibrato mode is the witch's teets imho. I didn't have much use for vibrato effect (on guitar anyway) until I came across that one.

A fully wet PT2399 delay w/modulation sounds okay to me (I have a DBA Echo Dream 2), though it's a little difficult to really get anything that doesn't sound insane as shit.
I really like the modulation from the Generation Loss, but I usually have it set to a really subtle effect because the randomized part makes things sound insanely weird when the depth is turned up past 9:00/10:00.

I have one of these, it sounds amazing but its just 2 choruses, you can't really make it sound like vibrato. They are different sounding choruses, I don't know the exact difference though, I suspect the chorus on the left is a triangle wave and the chorus on the right is a sine.

Huh, my understanding was it has chorus controls on the right and the left side is vibrato. The manual says it does vibrato, and that's definitely what I hear when I turn the left depth knob up past 12 o'clock, whereas the right side sounds like a chorus. Granted, I've never tried any other straight vibrato, but yeah... tweak it and judge for yrself.

I can't believe someone hasn't suggested the ultimate brovibe.

(seriously, I'd just get a VB-2w and be done with it, or the CE-2W on vibe mode from the demos, as my favorite vibe of all time is the original Jazz Chorus setting)

maybe you're right, I can't really tell? says in the manual that the A section is vibrato and the B is chorus but both sound like chorus to me?
