| Gear maniac | Vintage Amp with weird build-in effect
OVer 10 years ago, I recorded in a studio, where there was a band in the studio next door, that had the most incredible guitar-amp I've ever seen. Sadly, at that time I had no interest in guitar-recording. So I didn't care much. ONe day I heard that band tracking an unbelievably great wierd guitarsound. It sounded like something exactly in the middle in between an Univibe-pedal, an autowha and a Small Stone. I asked their mixer, what this heavenly effect would be, and he told me it was build in that vintage amp. It was a small combo, perhaps 1x 12" or even 1x 10". Some sorta chickenheads pots on top. Any idea, what this amp could have been??? Pleaze!!... |

My Polytone 102 has a really cool leslie simulator type thing that sounds kind of like what you're describing. It has 3 speakers though. A 12" and 2x 8" speakers. It's basically a tremolo on the 12" and a panner on the two 8" speakers. The speeds are controlled independently so you get this really great sounding vibrato/leslie/phase/tremolo thing. It's really unique sounding. If that is the amp you're looking for I'd be willing to sell mine for $475. I plan on traveling a bit and need to lighten my load. PM me if you're interested. |

Check for a Canadian company called Vibrato Technologies. They are solid state amps but the phase/vibrato in them is incredibly cool. They are from the end of 70's or early 80's. Damn cheap too. |

SG Systems made one with an onboard Maestro phaser in the 70's. Gibson's parent co. bought Standel and this amp was the result, IIRC.
