I do believe you are onto something....

Steve	I do believe you are onto something.... Trower's sound has the vibe thing happening, but in a much more subtle way than Hendrix's. While trying to come close to the classic Trower sound, I came to the conclusion that he must be using at least a couple of amps: one with a straight signal, & another with the vibe signal. After reading your explanation, it explains the sound very well, & makes sense. Have you ever tried this hookup with the Univibe set on vibrato instead of chorus? I have often though of trying this since the Univibe chorus mode is a blend of modulated signal & straight signal. So you would essentially be doing that, but with more control over the volumes of each signal. Thanks for the info, Steve
