Vibro Man

Touch-sensitive Tremolo, Vibrato and Vibrating Filter

Got Modulation? The Kilpatrick Audio Vibro Man Tremolo and Vibrato Pedal packs three kinds of modulating effects into one pedal: Vibrato, tremolo and vibrating filter. The vibrato provides a smooth pitch-varying effect that you can adjust from subtle to radical and everything in between. The tremolo adds beautiful sine-wave tremolo typical of classic tube amps. Crank the depth and you get get square-wave chopping effects that add more bite to your sound. Both the vibrato and the tremolo can be enabled together and controlled by a single speed knob.

But how cool would it be to be able to switch the vibrato for something a bit more dramatic?  The high-Q sweeping filter with the vibrating band-pass filter does just that! The depth affects the frequency range of the filter sweeping. And of course it can be used along with the tremolo effect for incredible sounds. All of the effects are produced in stereo, play it through two amplifiers for great synchronized sounds.

The Vibro Man is the first Kilpatrick Audio pedal with a touch-sensitive mode. By enabling the Touch footswitch, the depth of each effect reacts to your playing. For instance, start with a subtle vibrato that gets deeper as you play louder. This really brings new possibility to effects which are conventionally non-reactive. The results are really quite interesting and fun to use.

"The Vibro Man, Kilpatrick's multi-function modulation powerhouse, is a doozy. A total of three effects lie within its chassis, and there's not a weak one in the bunch." Jordan Wagner - Premier Guitar Magazine
