Rotating Speaker Emulator with Simple 2-Knob Interface and Toggle Switch for Classic Rock Tones
Every guitar player knows the thick, syrupy tones of the iconic 60's guitar heroes blasting their licks through a rotating speaker cone. Vibraclone brings that same luscious whirl to your sound, allowing you to explore everything from earthy and swampy to ethereal and spacy ambient tones - all the way up to full-on kaleidoscopic psychedelia!
Spinning vintage tone
The old rotating speaker designs were designed for organ players and were powered by an internal tube amp. When guitar players started using them, they quickly found that if they turned up the tube amp, it produced a sweet, dynamic overdrive tone, known from myriad classic rock recordings. The Vibraclone features a Drive knob, giving you that same rich, organic tube amp sustain combined with the lush swirl of a rotating speaker.
Simple controls, authentic response
Vibraclone features both the slow, sultry Chorale setting and the fast, almost watery sounding Tremolo setting made famous by the original design. You will notice that as you turn the Speed knob there is a delayed response from the pedal simulating the acceleration or deceleration of the speaker cone in the old models.
No moving parts
Vibraclone is built to stand up to anything that a touring musician might demand from it. The built-like-a-tank metal frame houses the highest quality electronic components, and the top-mounted jacks make it a perfect fit for any pedal board. Vibraclone also respects your unaffected tone thanks to true bypass operation.

Product Experience I own it
Closest Store Cobourg, Ontario
I just got this and while it sounds really nice and very close to the original, I feel its a bit pricey for what you get. Not sure why this is twice as much as some of their other pedals (I have the Blood Moon Phaser and the Grand Magus from T.C and they were half the price.)
Would have been nice to add a volume knob also but overall I thinks is a neat pedal and I love the sound. Pairs really well with a Phaser. Great for making vintage colour tones.
