When it comes to old-school analog vibrato, nothing tops the classic bucket brigade design. And you can find it here at a groundbreaking price in the TC Helicon Tailspin vibrato pedal. The Tailspin’s discrete analog circuitry serves up wave after wave of surfy, psychedelic pitch-bent effects to add color to chords and mojo to melodies. At subtler settings, the Tailspin resembles a lo-fi ’80s chorus, with just enough motion and dimension to make vanilla guitar parts pop. But plumb its watery depths, and the Tailspin issues pulsing rotary speaker-like movement to seasick, shipwrecked tremors. Users are especially fond of the TC Tailspin’s neutral coloration and simple control scheme. Unlike other vibrato pedals on the market, the Tailspin is built to enhance — not alter — the base tone of your guitar, bass, or synth with its rich analog signal path. And with just two knobs to dial in, you won’t get whiplash modifying tones on the fly. A spacious layout even allows you to adjust controls with your feet to add organ-like layers of dynamic intensity to rhythms and leads. The Tailspin resides in a rugged metal housing that’s cut out for the road, with internal true bypass switching to preserve your tone whether in use or not. What’s more, the Tailspin can be powered from a standard 9V internal battery as well as your favorite standard 9VDC pedal power supply. Searching for a true analog BBD vibrato that won’t break the bank? Take the TC Electronic Tailspin vibrato pedal for a spin.
