Gosh Chris what a privilege to listen to your cast today. Can you imagine me as a child growing up to listen at festivals in the Woodstock era as a young teenager? Then later to marry and play at a Pan-American Festival in Long Beach California with my own group in the late seventies to thousands upon thousands of folks on the greens like I was just ten years earlier? THEN you play these awesome UNIVIBE leads for us today. I am taken back like time travel. Not fifteen years ago I went to Harmony park and thrilled to the same Vibes with friends in Minnesota at just 56-7 years of age! These things you share with us are multi-generational gifts of music arts. I am very grateful for your work today. Humble thanks, Sam Hatman still playing every day mostly in Church at 70.... and we shamelessly rock, my young brother. Shall it ever be so!!!
To you folks who live in the UK and have an opportunity to see Chris Buck live … wow, one day you will say you were there way back when. Please catch a show for me!!
Rick Beato really needs to get Chris in for an interview. He’s obviously the most underappreciated guitarist in the world. The Rick Beato channel could do a lot for him.
I think that is the most I've seen you playing with a plectrum out of all your videos! You've got a very expressive technique, it's really an inspiration to listen and watch you play.
Yep i said this before, but i do so look forward to your Friday fretworks…your reviews on these spectacular vintage pieces of gear, and well, your playing mate…your love of the history of music is so refreshing, snd hopefully inspires many more players, to respect, adn research there own place in musical history…thanks as always Chris…well appreciated.
The Engineer, who is the “scientific mind”, is a true craftsman in that he deals with projects in entirety, taking into account the availability of materials, and creating new tools The Bricoleur, who is the “savage mind”, works with his hands in devious ways, puts pre-existing things together in new ways, and makes do with whatever is at hand
I always love when Trey gets a little attention in these videos. Why he's not talked about as one of the best guitar players today I will never know. What I do know is I've seen him live at least 75 times and he is a straight up magician with his guitar rig. Great episode dude.
Trey is seriously one of the best live performing guitar players of the last 30 years. The first time I saw Phish was in a bar in the early 90's and I was just blown away. It was so cool to see the band in a small environment like that. Cheers Adam
Trey doesn’t get the love he deserves as so many people dismiss Phish without ever having given a listen. Same reason Fish is never in the conversation for great drummers. Not many (if any) are doing it better than him these days. They put on a masterclass every night.
Hey Chris, during the intro I was able to watch you using a black pick instead of the purple, so max grip now. Outstanding sound and style, great use of the vol and tone knob. And that red strat Growls. Cheers.
The Effectrode Tube-Vibe, is an often overlooked Uni-Vibe soundalike. It uses valves and has a beautiful warm, vibe tone, that can be controlled with a footswitch. It pairs nicely with a Fuzz Face too.
Yup - I was going to mention that one, too! Beautiful, natural sound - classic 'Floyd'. I have the Effectrode Blackbird - my 'always on' Dumblish Valve Pre-Amp Pedal.
Was messing with my Wampler Terraform earlier and totally forgot there's a nice recreation of the Vibe in there. So many pedals, so little time. Nice work Mr Chris as usual. Will be looking to gig this wonderful sound ASAP.
Please don’t poke fun at me, but I couldn’t really track the details of this week’s topic. I was way too busy picking my jaw off the floor from the incredible guitar work on display.
Honey was incorporared by Shinei which then selled different types of Univibes to other companies which rebranded them. One of the models of Shinei was the Resly Tone whose name curiously resembles the Leslie rotary speaker. Maybe this was the origin of the misbelieve that it has inspired the Univibe. Shinei disappeared and after some decades its named was bought by a not related different company that hired a pedal designer to make new vibes. He renounced and designed his own version which is the actual Sir Henry.
Yeah and I kind of love the old amps Pick-n- pick up all kinds of radio signals sometimes you can even sounds of some cool music to the radio signals coming through your amp while you're playing talk about a backup band!
Such great history lessons. Just watched your video commemorating the 50 year anniversary of the death of Jimi Hendrix. Very informative and interesting.
I have a Korg Nu-Vibe unit and it sounds amazing as well as having the ability to change the waveform of the vibe. It can do anything from slight vibrato to full on ring modulation all with the movement of a couple sliders. It is amazing and relatively cheap!
This is timely, since I just received a spanking new Digitech Ventura Vibe. I spent years looking for a satisfying, yet affordable alternative to the genuine vintage article, and I feel like I've finally found it. For a bonus, it's also a very capable Leslie simulator in either mono or stereo, and the mix control means it's even more versatile. Just an insanely great deal with the 'stomp safe' knob protector and the custom-fit velcro included. I'm sure it's digital, but it certainly doesn't sound like it.
Your playing is sensational I think you might be my favourite guitar player ever. Just wondering if there is a place where I can find your backing tracks, I am wanting to learn some of your solos from your videos. Would also love a solo album from you would listen on repeat. Or even just your yt video jams put into a Spotify album. Thanks
Your playing was “out of this world” today, I think more so than usual-the hardest guitar player to imitate for technique and style, even if you slow-mo the whole riff. Fingers are blurred 🤟😅
You can't beat the Fulltone DejaVibe MDV-2 (no longer available). Fulltone used the original Uni-vibe circuit and custom-made the photocells. I own one and it absolutely nails the original sound.
You are just a young lad, but you might be the most expressive guitar player I have ever seen. Keep up the great work! You are amazing.
Incredible eyebrows!

my face just melted
To you folks who live in the UK and have an opportunity to see Chris Buck live … wow, one day you will say you were there way back when. Please catch a show for me!!
Love the outro Chris! Cheers

Nice to see you using the Strat, Chris...sounds awesome!!🎶🎸😁
r u serious! Chris just blew my mind with the beginning solo This is why Chris is one of the best guitarists today!
The way you finished the line at 11:24 - 11:27 ... really cool sound. Amongst many but just stood out to me.
Outstanding movement and control, Amazing Sound, Love You Chris, enjoy everything you do, ❤ Lisa E.
God I could listen to a full-on jam session based on that intro All. Day Long.
I think that is the most I've seen you playing with a plectrum out of all your videos! You've got a very expressive technique, it's really an inspiration to listen and watch you play.

Great Video Chris
Chris is getting pretty good…. Understatement of the year
I know right? If he works hard he might have potential 😂
I know this gets said on every Friday Fretworks video but Jesus what an intro!
Wow Chris outro was brilliant very Trower/ Hendrix thanks Chris
Jeebus Crispus, you are such a fantastic player Chris!! 😮
Always love to see the strat come back out! Fantastic episode. Thanks Chris!
excellent ... both the artistry of your playing and the history
Killer player hands down best UA-cam player
Cheers Chris, excuse me while I play that outro jam again. 😳
Wow!!!! What a jam in the intro. Goosebumps all over.
Best I've seen on this channel in a long time... anyone know what song it is over? Sounds familiar...
Love that outro. Probably the most Hendrix sounding bit I've heard, and NOT copying a single Jimi lick in it, but doing your own things.
Incredibly well researched history lesson in addition to some of the most exciting playing currently on offer ANYWHERE. Great work Chris.
Hey brother... YOU Kill IT!!!! I started playing guitar at 15 when first was given the album "Are You Experienced"... You obviously are...
Philip Sayce kills it with the Uni-Vibe
It's shocking how good the Helix Uni-Vibe sound is. Incredibly musical and usable.
Yeah thought that too wonder if anyone has any thoughts on how to dial Chris’s outro tone on the Stomp ?
Damn son!
Holy cow Chris is using the plectrum!! See everyone it's not just a placebo!!
The Engineer,
who is the “scientific mind”, is a true craftsman in that he deals with projects in entirety, taking into account the availability of materials, and creating new tools
The Bricoleur,
who is the “savage mind”, works with his hands in devious ways, puts pre-existing things together in new ways, and makes do with whatever is at hand
Who else is waiting for a practice method video! Would love to know what at least some tricks you use to help you to play the way you do!
He has 2 instructional courses on LickLibrary so just buy a membership for that
Your playing is awesome mate , probably my favourite guitarist to be honest , so melodic and not to flashy
Me Too
Thanks for the deep-dive into the technology involved, including the incredible origin story
Unbelievable playing in this weeks video Chris! Hats off
This opening solo is among my favorites from your FFWs
Fascinating and incredibly well delivered. Thank you
I always love when Trey gets a little attention in these videos. Why he's not talked about as one of the best guitar players today I will never know. What I do know is I've seen him live at least 75 times and he is a straight up magician with his guitar rig. Great episode dude.

Mostly anything he played between 1990-2000. I miss that Trey
Your playing is next level. Amazing.
Undeniably the very best electric rock guitarist in the world today!!!

Hey Chris, during the intro I was able to watch you using a black pick instead of the purple, so max grip now. Outstanding sound and style, great use of the vol and tone knob. And that red strat Growls. Cheers.
Are you kidding me? Killer playing mate!
I echo the comment about the strat sounding fantastic.
Thank you, Chris…. Very much.
Killer intro solo!! Thanks a lot for your video :)
Conclusion was dope -- great writing this week!
Great to the see the Gen 1 Revstar making a return. Looks and sounds awesome.
I don't play guitar, I just come here to listen to you play it! That sounded awesome indeed.
What a great video! Magic sounds and playing! Thanks.
The Effectrode Tube-Vibe, is an often overlooked Uni-Vibe soundalike. It uses valves and has a beautiful warm, vibe tone, that can be controlled with a footswitch. It pairs nicely with a Fuzz Face too.
Yup - I was going to mention that one, too! Beautiful, natural sound - classic 'Floyd'. I have the Effectrode Blackbird - my 'always on' Dumblish Valve Pre-Amp Pedal.
Love your playing style. Started listening to your band tonight and love it!
Hell of a guitar playing and feel! Awesome!
Was messing with my Wampler Terraform earlier and totally forgot there's a nice recreation of the Vibe in there. So many pedals, so little time. Nice work Mr Chris as usual. Will be looking to gig this wonderful sound ASAP.
Please don’t poke fun at me, but I couldn’t really track the details of this week’s topic. I was way too busy picking my jaw off the floor from the incredible guitar work on display.
Thanks for highlighting this pedal. My Viscous Vibe is permanently on, just slightly: for a bit of space.
Definitely nice to see and hear the Strat again!

So good jams 👀🤘
Killer sounds, killer playing & the referenced Doyle Bramhall II track is excellent indeed.
Wow, what jam in the opening. Chris This was an amazing episode. Well done
Yay! Out comes that Strat! Hooray!
And the original Revstar steals the show..😍
The best right hand in guitar world of today. Period!
I never knew much about this . Great video. Great playing as ever .
You mentioned Trey! Many forget how much he used/uses it!
Wow that outro! 🤯🎸👍
Yeah and I kind of love the old amps Pick-n- pick up all kinds of radio signals sometimes you can even sounds of some cool music to the radio signals coming through your amp while you're playing talk about a backup band!
Pffffffff that was fire in ur intro jam omg 🔥🔥🔥🎶👌🏻
Such great history lessons. Just watched your video commemorating the 50 year anniversary of the death of Jimi Hendrix. Very informative and interesting.
Another great and informative video. Great playing as usual to !!! Keep up the great work 🎸
I have a Korg Nu-Vibe unit and it sounds amazing as well as having the ability to change the waveform of the vibe. It can do anything from slight vibrato to full on ring modulation all with the movement of a couple sliders. It is amazing and relatively cheap!
respect lad ...you got it
Crazy little jam there young man. 🎵🎶🎭
bliss friday.....
As also used by British ice-cream van drivers, throughout the 1960s, while playing either 'Greensleeves' or the 'Harry Lime' theme.

Another great video. Well done and thanks. By the way the playing was fantastic.
For me the UniVibe effect has a heartbeat symmetry that makes it special. The poor recreations are too symmetrical for that result. Great video!
Lub-dub
Lub-dub
How's that raking technique done...so cool man!!
I recently got a Keeley Monterey, very small, versatile and inspirational.
Hendrix and Gilmour‘s secret weapon… is definitely talent that comes first.
Nope anybody could use this pedal and have been as famous as them
there is no talent, there is lack of practice and perseverance
What the hell, wow what a guitarist.
Your playing is sensational I think you might be my favourite guitar player ever. Just wondering if there is a place where I can find your backing tracks, I am wanting to learn some of your solos from your videos. Would also love a solo album from you would listen on repeat. Or even just your yt video jams put into a Spotify album. Thanks
Well I always thought it was designed as a primitive Leslie sim. Wrong again! Fascinating story.
I settled on TC Electronic take on the univibe……love it
I do love to hear Doyle Bramhall II getting some love. Great univibe player. Uses it great effect on the track Life on his third album Welcome.
Wow, you really manhandled that poor Revstar!
they aren't cheap but the Sabbadius Univibes are absolutely incredible, don't think they can be beaten.
Don't forget Harvey Mandel who used an Univibe on John Mayall's album "Back to the roots" and I guess on all of his 70's solo albums 😉
You are a Sonic Genius
Your playing was “out of this world” today, I think more so than usual-the hardest guitar player to imitate for technique and style, even if you slow-mo the whole riff. Fingers are blurred 🤟😅
Jimi Robin, Doyle and Chris a nice timeline cheers Chris
Master
I'm thinking you and JIMI would've had some fun!
Chewy goodness
You can't beat the Fulltone DejaVibe MDV-2 (no longer available). Fulltone used the original Uni-vibe circuit and custom-made the photocells. I own one and it absolutely nails the original sound.
Love the Vibe
The NUX VoodooVibe is a great budget Vibe/Chorus pedal, worth checking out.
Bob Sweet's Mojo Vibe is a great example to have
