Obvious: Hendrix, BB King, Albert King. Trower has been around forever. He's an original Dino. He's been playing professionally since 1963 (with a band called the Paramounts) and was in Procol Harem when Eric Clapton was in Cream.

Tone. Trower's tone is the audio equivalent of a massive toke off the Doomsday bong. You may even find yourself with a bad case of the munchies after an extended listening session! HEAVILY processed with vibe, various fuzz tones, wah, flangers, and other gadgets, Robin's sound is massive and incredibly sustained, yet clear. Robin puts the "ether" in "ethereal". He always manages to sound exactly like Trower no matter what amps or effects he's using.

Taste. Robin's approach to guitar is very "English" for lack of a better word: a place for everything, and everything in its place. He often throttles down the volume during the vocal parts of his songs, and dances around the vocals with little fills and stabs. He waits until his solo before he really hits you with both barrels. Trower is also very good with dynamics and "building to the end", raising the intensity as the song moves along.

The Hendrix thing. Robin has had to endure countless comparisons to Jimi Hendrix throughout his career. He has often been dismissed as a mere Hendrix imitator. Obviously these people aren't listening! Trower is undeniably Hendrix influenced, but rather than regurgitate Voodoo Chile or Machine Gun note for note for the past 30 years, Trower has his own style and sound. Sure he plays a Strat through Marshalls, loves UniVibes, wah, fuzz, flangers, but there's a lot more to Trower than a pure Hendrix imitator like Randy Hansen, or even another Hendrix influenced guy, Frank Marino. Trower's music owes as much to Pink Floyd as it does Hendrix.

Trower used a lot of different effects to generate his distinctive throbbing tone. His 1980 interview in Guitar Player Magazine gives the signal chain as follows: initially, the signal hit a preamp built by Robin's tech to boost the level. Following that, he would run it into a Dan Armstrong Red Ranger (treble boost), a Tycobrache wah, a Fender blender fuzz tone, a UniVibe, a MuTron II, and two Electro Harmonix Electric Mistress flangers. His tech also incorporated buffers between the effects pedals to minimize any signal loss. Out of all this hardware, the one effect that I most associate with Trower is the UniVibe, although the various boosts also play a huge role in generating his signature sustain.

On rhythm, Trower is very funky and soulful. This is where the James Brown and other R&B influences creep in. You'll hear a lot of "Shaft" style wah, various 7th and 9th chords, 16th note muted scratching, and various other funk trappings. A great example of Trower's hot rhythm playing is on the track Caledonia from Long Misty Days. You'll also get clean, arpeggiated chordal passages that often sound very jazzy, in addition to the more standard hard rock riffing. Daydream, from Twice Removed from Yesterday, or Bluebird, from In City Dreams, are good examples of the softer side of Trower's approach to rhythm. Too Rolling Stoned, from Bridge of Sighs, is probably my favorite Trower song and a great snapshot of the man's style. He starts out with a fairly clean funky rhythm over a double-time bass and drums groove, with wah, turns on the vibe and the fuzz for the solo section, and unleashes one of his trademark slow, heavy grooves on the rideout.

Fast, smooth, not particularly wide, perfectly even, and very controlled. There are a lot of contemporary guitarists who could learn a few things about vibrato from Trower. The word that comes to mind is elegant.

We have meticulously integrated all three iconic vintage effects into one unit. The Vibe circuit is identical to the original first year "Honey" Uni-Vibe circuit made popular by artists such as Jimi Hendrix, David Gilmour and Robin Trower. We used the same attention to detail in the fuzz and octave circuits which are based on an original 1960's BC109 Fuzz and 1970's Tycobrahe Octave device. You will find this device is extremely quiet when compared to other effects in the same categories.

The Psychedelic Machine is offered in standard Vintage Black, Hot Rod Purple, Voodoo Red (Slight Metallic) and Woodstock White. Due to production scheduling, not all colors are available at all times.

International versions of the Psychedelic Machine are available in 240V,230V, 220V and 100V (Japan).

PLEASE NOTE: Due to local international regulations and the many different styles of wall sockets that differ from country to country, international units are not shipped with C13 IEC wall cables.

The Psychedelic Machine is built using the highest quality parts and materials available. NOS electronic components are used wherever possible including (but not limited to) carbon composition resistors, NOS Telefunken and Matsushita transistors, Mullard mustard capacitors and germanium diodes.

The Vibe-2 nails that old school "Vibe" sound and then some. It drips with the heavy pulse and deep tone found in the old vintage Uni-Vibes that we all love. The Vibe-2 is powered by a 24 Volt DC wall power supply that we provide with each unit. The Vibe-2 can also operate with many of the commercially available DC power supplies used by guitarists to run their pedal boards. Since most DC power supplies do not have a 24VDC output, this is achieved by summing two twelve volt outputs (24VDC total) with a properly wired summing "Y" cable which we provide as well. The Vibe-2 needs sufficient amperage (400mA minimum per 12 volt output) to function properly. Units such as the Voodoo Lab "Digital", Strymon "Zuma" and the Vitoos "DC8" are examples of power supply units units that will allow the Vibe-2 to operate at a high level of performance. The Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2 for example, WILL NOT run the Vibe-2 properly as its #5-6 L6 outputs set to 12 volts each will not have enough amperage to run the device when summed together using our provided DC "Y" cable. Please note that not all DC "Y" cables are wired the same. Using a "Y" summing cable other than the official cable provided by us could damage your unit and/or your power supply which will void our warranty. Feel free to call our email us anytime for further clarification regarding the operation and power requirements of the Vibe-2.

The Vibe-2 can be used with our optional Vibe-2 Speed Control Foot Pedal. Physically identical to the Vibe-Bro speed control foot pedal, the Vibe-2 foot pedal differs however in that it connects to the Vibe-2 with a stereo plug. Internally, the Vibe-2 Speed Control Foot Pedal does not have effect cancelling via a relay operated DIN socket like the Vibe-Bro speed control foot pedal.

The Vibe-2 is offered in both the standard "Vintage Black" and "Machine Gun Gray". When available, we also offer Metallic Hot Rod Purple, Voodoo Red (Slight Metallic) and Mean Toxic Green. Due to production scheduling, not all colors are available at all times.

On international units, the provided 500ma 24 Volt DC switchable wall adapter can run on wall current of 100-240 Volts AC. For international orders, we provide interchangeable wall plug connectors with each Vibe-2 power supply. This allows the user to run the Vibe-2 in the UK, EU, AUS, Japan and many other countries around the world.
