Shoegaze vibrato...?

[jb2106]

Thanks a lot guys for all the answers !!!

So many great suggestions here ! The Polytope and Sonic Crayon caught my interest the most ! I think I saw a Sonic Crayon vibrato in the Buy/Sell/Trade here, I might pull the trigger !

is there a song what vibrato (sound) is exactly meant?

I love my Malekko vibrato for lofi stuff (it also sounds amazing with a delay after it) but there are plenty more full featured chorus/vibratos. Flangers are also really fun, more watery though. I can't watch the video now but based off the suggestions here, there's mah response.

A good but pricey call. The vibrato mode is more useable than on any other Uni-Vibe type pedal that I know about.

On the cheap, if you've got a stereo chorus pedal sitting around where one output is dry and one wet, just using the wet output should get you vibrato. With a mono chorus you can usually wire in a switch to nix the dry path.

On mechanical vibrato for cheap, I've seen good reports on the GFS X-Trem. http://www.guitarfetish.com/Xtrem-Vinta ... c_373.html The arm seems somewhere between the classic Bigsby arm and the Chet arm.

i kinda wanna just take a blowtorch and bend the bigsby arm a bit

Seriously man, Chet Atkins tremelo arm:

I'm confused, do you want a chorus-like melt or a Kevin Shields style whammy?

For the first I'd just go with a Memory Boy, set the feedback and rate low and the modulation on high switched to chorus.

But if you want a whammy, you could kinda do what Dan Auerbach does with a PS-5

No better substitute for a whammy bar than a whammy pedal.

Super hawt.

still hoping for video/soundfile with what is really meant...
sorry, i really know what EXACTLY you guys are talking aboutb.
i can randomly suggest pedals but i refuse until i know what is meant....

Hey, I finally watched that clip. Like I said, I use the Malekko vibrato for that sound. That's about all it does and it does it great. Some choruses can go fully wet - vibrato - if you want more options but I'm not a chorus guy. That dry vibrato sound, like in the clip, just gets me. The only really full featured pedal that's strictly vibrato that I know of is the Diamond.

Thank you guys again for the awesome suggestions !

That bigsby looks great on that Telecaster, I'll have to seriously think about it !

Univalve => as for clips, this is one example of what I'm talking about : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azXLPL-iuSI

lol.
$60 for a fuckin' trem arm. Crazy. You really would be better off just torching and bending.

yeah, I've been hunting for a used one forever because $60 is just stupid. I'm thinking about just making my own...

Thank you! Highly appreciated

I use a Jazzmaster trem arm for shoegaze vibrato. I find it works best. But the Boss PS-5 does a very good shoegaze vibrato on the "flutter" setting. This guy is using it here:

I would recommend you stay away from the Boss Choruses, Vibrato, and Cosmichorus unless you just want fluttery cleans. None of those really nail the shoegaze warble when placed after dirt, in my experience.

The clari(not) is also an interesting solution. I use it, and it sounds great for certain applications, but it can be a bit tricky to hit that sweet spot between subtle warble and insane pitch weirdness.

Wow thank you so much onyxrhino for the Boss PS-5 suggestion ! The guy sounds incredible on that video ! Is it just fuzz+delay+PS-5 ?
