Just check the out front, heavilyeffected bass lines put out there by heavy hitters like Billy Sheehan, Doug Wimbish andMike Elizando, just to name a few. Use your Line 6 U-Vibe effect on your next sultrypost- Trip Hop bass line and you’ll immediately know exactly what we know—itswatery sultriness cannot be denied! As with the CE-1 model’s stealth vibrato mode, youcan recreate the effect of the original Uni-Vibe’s vibrato switch by turning the MIXcontrol to 100% wet. (That’s what the switch did on the original.) The DEPTHcontrol acts like the Uni-Vibe’s “Intensity” knob.Opto TremThis one is based on* the optical tremolo circuit that was used in the blackfaceFender ® amps, like the ’64 Deluxe Reverb ® and ’65 Twin Reverb ® . Basically a lightbulb and a photoresistor, when the light got brighter, the tremolo got louder. It’s a verysmooth, even tremolo, and the obvious choice for use with the amp models that arebased on* Fender ® originals.*All product names are trademarks of their respective owners, which are in no way associated oraffiliated with Line 6.
