Description
Introducing the “Bridge of Sighs” Dual Combo, designed to capture the legendary tones of Robin Trower. This Combo pairs the VIBE and Plexamp circuits, crafted to work seamlessly together to recreate Trower’s iconic vintage sounds. With built-in order switching, this setup opens a new realm of tones previously unavailable in a single pedal format.
The VIBE circuit delivers rich, swirling modulation inspired by classic analog vibrato effects, giving your tone depth, movement, and a lush, expressive character. With controls for Speed, Intensity, Volume, and Tone, you can dial in subtle shimmer or full-bodied vibrato that sings beautifully with your guitar.
The Plexamp circuit provides a high-quality Marshall-style amplifier preamp with versatile tone-shaping controls. When paired with the VIBE, it brings out the full range of classic 70s rock tones reminiscent of Trower’s signature sound. Reversing the signal path unlocks an entirely new set of inspiring textures for creative exploration.
Key Feature:
Built-in order switching for endless tonal possibilities, allowing reversal of the signal path using a “Stubby” or short bat switch.
Easily achieve the legendary tones of Robin Trower & more.
(Use a 3PDT On/On short shaft / stubby switch for order switching)
LDR Phaser sets are also available!
Designed for a 1590BB2 enclosure, featuring the same dimensions as a 1590BB but with 125B clearance.
