Vibrato pedals
Vibrato pedals alter the pitch of your signal, giving your guitar a wavy, lively effect. This creates a warm, swaying modulation that's perfect for clean parts, ambient music, and subtle textures.
Why Vibrato Pedals Are Interesting
- You get a pure pitch modulation effect without any chorus mix signal.
- You add movement without broadening your tone as with chorus.
- You make clean and ambient parts more expressive.

Vibrato comes in various styles and intensities. The choice determines how subtle or striking the effect becomes.

Choosing the right vibrato pedal
