VIBRATO- BIGFOOT FX PEDALS Magnavibe ... Magnatone amp Vibrato-in a-Box

$170.00 USD
BIGFOOT FX PEDALS MAGNAVIBE

In 1957 Magnatone made the Custom 280 with a killer vibrato circuit. __  Bo Diddley put it on the map and for a couple of years it was the go to amp instead of Fender. I met ol' Bo in the late 60's and asked about it and he said "Great vibrato but its got no Balz" lol.
He had been using Fender amps which he preferred but his hits were on the Magnatone.
Magnatone soon went bankrupt after the after this amp died out and players went back to Fender.
The sound was the produced years later in a pedal. The Big Tone Music Maggie. Now defunct. The usual happened Big Tone went out of biz and then return again with Big Foot pedals. The layout is simple with Intensity & Speed.
CONCLUSION 
It has a near Chorus like sound but less cloudy and not swishy 
Flanger sounding as a real Chorus pedal. A lot of all 
modulations in one digital pedals can do this sound but the  
Big Foot being analog gives you that gorgeous warmth.
