Rich, responsive, and built to elevate your tone.

Quintessential Vibe
“A warm grittiness to the warble, a rippling, wooshing, bubbling irregularity to the modulation and a dynamic response to your picking are all hallmarks of the true vibe experience. Thicker and chewier than any chorus, earthier than any phaser and uniquely magical in front of a driven amp… delivering vintage vibe tone that’s second to none with simple and powerful controls.” Strymon+15Strymon+15simsmusic.com+15
