Is this a Univibe?

Sounds more like a rotary/leslie effect to me. Check out some videos of the mini vent II and you'll hear it right away.

You could get close with a univibe or foot controlled phaser with subtle settings though.

A flanger could do it really well too

Eh . . . I mean, you could get a kind of pulsing with a flanger but it would be much more metallic sounding and jet engine whooshy. Flanging always seems like it's sitting prominently right on top of the sound of a guitar, where phasing effects kind of blend better to my ears.

definitely a rotary speaker/leslie type thing. i love my h&k rotosphere mk2 but the ventilator is great and still in production

It's all in how you use it. Flangers have a lot of overlap with a lot of modulation effects. If you set the manual and feedback low on a flanger, you'll have neither metal nor whoosh.

99% Leslie in slow mode, it has some 'growl', the Univibe is generally more liquid

Looks like rotary effects are prohibitively expensive for my minimal need, but could consider just getting a Phase 95


Thanks all

Imo most rotary effects are underwhelming if they aren't used in a stereo set up. You're better off going wth a phaser, univibe, or Tremolo that has some phaser magic thrown in.

I own one of these for my Univibe needs, ànd absolutely love it.

theres a few people who use a chorus pedal for rotary effects, ive used a way huge blue hippo with both controls set at around 1pm to get a fast leslie thing going

tthe ventilator is great and still in production

I have the first generation, and it sounds amazing. The downside is that it needs its own power supply; and it takes up a lot of real estate on your board. It does sound amazing, though I might break it out for our next studio session. If you set it slow and subtle, it has a great lead guitar vibe.

You can find a used Line 6 Roto Machine for about $100 used. Not too large and it sounds great.
Only real drawback is, it weighs a ton for its size.

A cheap slim format option I've used is a $99 Zoom MS-50G with a vibrato and flanger set to the same speed and an amp model for some grit when needed. Can run on battery and is a 'standard' BOSS pedal size.

Petty? It's probably a REAL Leslie.

a vibrato and flanger set to the same speed .

I'm intrigued. That's a great idea.

I'm intrigued. That's a great idea.

The vibrato raises and lowers the volume like when the horn is rotating away from you, and the flanger handles the doppler effect of the sound. When synchronized to the same speed, sounds pretty authentic.

It's a Leslie.
I use my Univibe patch on my old Digitech RP-12, some tremolo from an RP-1 and a touch Detune or Quad Chorus .
Every once in a while, I whip this puppy out .
