Is it a Univibe on Little wing Rhythm guitar ?
I want that effect - any modern pedals good for this other than choruses - I havent found one that sounds that way.

I play the song with an MXR Phaser set to about 10 o'clock the straight into my 18 watter. Sounds "dead on" to me!

Hi,

I think it was a Leslie rotating speaker.

Has anybody here tried a Leslie with an 18W?

I dont have a Leslie, nor do i know if one exists here.

(Hey Gabi, I'm in! Thanks for your help.)

I remember reading that this "Leslie" was not a Leslie. Apparently Jimi's gadget tech made some sort of crude rig that had a rotating speaker. It does sound nice right when he gets back to G...

I have a Leslie Model 25. It has it's own power amp. I will try to hook it up next week and record a sound clip then.

leslie on guitar.. glockenspiel..and pultec filter used on some of the vocals.. Jimi did use one thing they never have figured out what it was.. kinda organ sounding thing on the guitar..but it wasn't used on this song.

Many thanks guys

by now Ive downloaded a circuit for a 'vibe clone anyway for all those other cool sounds....

already done the PCB so now just have to build this to hear it with my 18w !
cheers

And how to destroy its value at the same time. I have one of these and after seeing what they go for on eBay the last thing I would do is modify it.

Whether that really matters to you depends whether you're primarily a collector or a guitarist! Personally, I would use one of the current production pedals (you will see the instructions refer to a Russian-made one), as I probably couldn't afford an original vintage model in the first place...

I have done this mod to a not so collectable small stone. While interesting, it sounds nothing like a Univibe - not even remotely close.

Gives lots of options to my phase shifter, but even my old yellow MXR stereo chorus sounds closer to the 'vibe than the modded small stone...
