Man I just caught you on insta live right after listening to dipped in tone. I swear i am not following you in that way. (I mean, i follow you but not that way lol)
I saw The First Edition in the late sixties. This was just after their first successful album and just before Kenny Roger's name was featured in the band name. Terry Williams (lead guitar) used the Fender Vibratone amp extensively during the concert.
@@MatthewScottmusic Actually, the keyboard player in my band was a much better organist than I was a guitarist, so, after about 20 years, I gifted it to him. He still uses it!
To my ears, THAT is literally as good as a Strat can possibly sound. This is clean tone to die for. I would be attached to my guitar for hours on end if I had that amp... Kudos!
I’ve owned both a Fender Vibratone cabinet with the silver banner across the front, and a Leslie Model 16. They are the same inside. My Leslie Model 16 is just like this Fender Vibratone cab, just with a Leslie badge in place of the Fender badge. Great sounds. I still have the Leslie Model 16 but passed along the Vibratone.
Do you run it through two amps? I’m not overly impressed mono. I’m sure that my amp choice (5e3 Tweed) isn’t helping my cause, but that more about the Tone.
@@druwk I run it through two amps but I like it in stereo and mono. I run a brown and tweed deluxe or a tweed bassman. You need something with good treble response, try using the bright channel on your deluxe.
@@matthewf1979 Check! (Run it through the Bright channel, and have the Tone up high) Have to keep the drive as low as possible, since it comes after my gain pedals, and the Tweed breaks up quickly on its own. The “on” light is annoyingly bright. I’ve never really gotten used to using the ramping foot switch (Break vs Off vs Ramp). It’s quite a fight to get to a sound that’s not as good as it would need to be, to fight as hard as I do? Ultimately, when I get the sound where I “like” it, everything else on my board isn’t working for me? It would have to be in its own loop? I have a TC Electronics Vibraclone pedal that actually sounds ok, but again, kind of needs its own setup. I’ve tried a Lester G. Haven’t tried the Vent? Right now, I just added the Strymon Flint (for both the Reverb, and Tremelo), and I’m hoping that the Tremelo(s) can fill in for the Vibroclone sound. It’s way different, I like it, it’s more successful being something it’s not, and it’s easier to use.
imitation is the most sincere form of flattery.also known as monkey see monkee do syndrome.i mean that in the kindest way possible. and yes i am a monkee too!
That tone is literally out of this world ... stunning. I’ve never ever listened to sweeter tones that yours Matthew, always on point thanks for these wonderful vids, we want more !
Hi Matthew, I have a Vibratone just like yours! These are great, I am not much of a pedal guy but these are the real deal. I've had mine since the 70's back in the day when I was with Wishbone Ash and I still come back to it every once in a while.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! You can jam and dry a load of laundry at the same time!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That thing is totally cool and looks to be in great shape for it's age. Great find Matt!!!!!!!!!
Very cool. Isnt it so hard to imagine someone in the late 60s, with a new strat plugging into this and getting this tone. No internet to share it, probably not even near recording equipment or cameras. Not a cell phone in the world to use. Just the pure enjoyment out of something so new.
That tone is just so beautiful with the Strat. I mean-it’s great with the old LP, but the Strat is gobsmacking. Your touch was perfect-especially considering the shortcomings of the setup as it stands. Can’t wait for the next iteration of the Vibratone.
Great find! I made one myself from a discarded Hammond organ internal Leslie. Keep the belt loose as it can be and still turn. This will allow you to 'play' the 'slip' (ramp-ups and downs) when you change speeds like the great B3 guys do.
nothing beats the sound of things physically moving to augment sound, whether tape echo, leslies, spring verbs,,,etc mechanical effects are endlessly satisfying. Theres just a dimensionality that really cant be replicated digitally, at least in person, even if just by the whimsy of it all. Great stuff dude!
Thanks for sharing..Love this thing... And you mentioned Wes Jeans uses this live. The very first live blues show i got to see/experience was Wes and his friend Rhett (bass) back when we were 16. (Briars club, Lufkin, TX) His cover of "Lenny" that night....It truly changed my life, what i listened to and what i wanted to play. Caught every show i could of his for 4 or 5 years after. Anyway, hope to catch a show of yours soon too and hope i get to hear that Vibrotone in action.
I bought a Jennings organ plus accompanying box many years ago. This speaker box works on a different principle than the Fender. There is a 45 degrees from the bottom beveled rotating styropur cylinder, which is sounded by a lying speaker below. The box is open on four sides on the upper third and two thirds down at the front to ge a "surround sound". There are also two speeds and the old thing is mechanically a bit noisy. I´ve only used it for my guitars and it reminds me in sound of the Boss Phaser I used to own, and since we're on the subject of George Harrison, of a couple of spots on the Beatles' Abbey Road album. Thank You Matthew for the post, because it made me want to take care of the good piece again.
I live in a village in Ohio of 3200 people. One of the churches uses one for the organ. Keys. Whatever they use it for. I’ve never been but the pastor is a pretty cool guy and told me about it.
As a keyboard player, I really love the Leslie type of sound. You asked for examples: Jesse Ed Davis can be heard on Taj Mahal's Giant Step (listen to "Bacon Fat") using the Vibratone. Also, Robbie Robertson used Traynor's version of this rotating speaker on "Music from Big Pink".
I remember my father having one of those when I wasa kid, though his was the later version with the silver strip across the front. He bought it brand new around 1969 or 70 when he was playing organ for a local band. It got sold along with most of his gear in 1972 when health issues forced him to retire from the music business. The money got used to buy our first color TV.
SRV was a genius also i like the secret Mod he used to do to his Fender amps to get a less harsh tone , he would get duct tape and put it across the speaker to add more bass to the tone , I love the old Blues players , they were not the fastest players but they had the sweet spot in tone , where as someone like Yngwie Malmsteen gets boring very quickly , A good blues player is like a classical composer never plays the same thing twice.
Although not a real vibratone I did acquire 2 amps specifically because each had that effect on it; the Fender 100 acoustic amp and the Fender Super Champ X2. I adore the Vibratone sound. Awesome video.
The Wikipedia page for the Fender Vibratone is short but the external links at the bottom are worth looking at. There's a scan of the owner's manual and a link to an extensive web page called "Inside the Fender Vibratone" that has a link to a list of many suspected Vibratone recordings.
Cool find, Matthew! I built a Vibratone about 20 years ago, for my lad Owen (you have a mutual friend in Joel, btw) back in the days when we had a Texas blues band called The Rockin Armadillos. The prototype used a plastic bucket with a slot cut in it and a motor from an electric fan - not my most successful build, it has to be said! The second one used the Leslie unit from an old Hammond organ, with exactly the same rotor and motor mechanism as the Leslie 16, but with an even more feeble 10" speaker than the Vibratone. I replaced it with a Celestion Vintage 10 and built in a couple of relays to handle the speed switching - all quite crude, basic stuff, but it sounded good and worked - it still does. Because we were gigging mainly small venues, I decided to try to build it into as small a box as I possibly could. It's about half as tall as a Vibratone so the sound is a bit compressed and boxy and it rattles a bit when you turn it up, but that kind of adds to the overall vibe of it. Owen used to drive it, either with an old Bassman 100, or for smaller gigs, my Rivera design Super Champ, alongside a modded Bandmaster Reverb and a Trace Elliot Speed Twin. When the band split and Owen went off to the USA with his band, the Leslie ended up in my garage for about 15 years. I dusted it off a few years ago and posted this video on Facebook, featuring an Armadillos track with the Leslie on the rhythm guitar (and also some of my awful guitar playing towards the end, for which, apologies!) :) Here's the video facebook.com/tim.aves.7/videos/10156248679190628 Nowadays, it lives in our studio, www.rooksyard.co.uk where it occasionally sees service on a session or two.
The master of the telecaster also known as Danny Gatton played something like that. He got sounds like an organ when playing chords. It was amazing. I have no idea what equipment he used. A telecaster for sure :)
Sounds lovely! I have a recording of SRV in Australia (I think, or Japan) using the Vibratone for the whole show. It was just before he hit rock bottom with the substances; everything is a LITTLE sloppy and jammed out to forever, too. Still SRV, just far from my favorite performance!
Yay! I bought a Hammond t-120 (real tonewheel) organ a few years ago with a very similar built-in speaker. Someone fitted the organ with an input jack presumably for bass, but I plug my guitar into it and it is sweet!!! It has that same funny looking foam speaker spinner. It’s branded Leslie when you open up the cabinet. Pretty cool. Not exactly what you have there but very close. Early 70s. $150. Not bad.
Matthew love the video as I also understand these were ran with combo amps such as a super reverb as an extension cabinet that way you have swirly on one side straight signal on the other really stereo phonic the chorus CE 1 was designed after this sound
Nice video! i think i read somewhere online that Buddy Guy used a vibratone in the studio on the Junior Wells album "Hoodoo man". You sure can hear some tracks with the guitar through a rotary speaker
I have a Leslie 16 and 18, both with EVM speakers - but don't use the crossover thing. I just mounted a speaker jack in the back, and use a seperat Dual Showman Reverb head to run it. I use tons of reverb through it, as it sounds so great.... Also good to use a lot of treble, as the styrofoam absorbs a lot of high frequencies.... All the best from Denmark
You always manage to get the most beautiful tones man. I don't know if it's the gear, perfect mic placement, or your hands, but it always sounds great.
I had a Cordovox rotating speaker for accordion in the nineties. Had a wooden rotor which sounds better than the styrofoam. They are basically identical to the Vibratone, but smaller cabinet.
Leslie's are cool. Not enough can be said about melding the doppler effect with good guitar! Magnatone has a very good handle on that effect and is speed adjustable. I have a '65 262 Maggie that really gets that good bending tone.
Sounded great Matthew! Can't wait for you playing it with the new speaker. I'd love to hear all the sounds that come out of this......cranked up with full effects.
I found the inner workings of one of these inside an old organ, Thomas Organ? Same components just without a cabinet. Very cool. The belt tension on the rotor can be used to control the length of the "wind-up time" and "wind-down" time when changing rotor speeds. A looser belt will get more belt slippage and extend the times for both up and down. The Leslie plug-in from IK Multimedia labels that feature as "acceleration" and "deceleration".
I haven’t come across one of these in Australia. You didn’t mention if it was an amplifier, or just a Leslie type of speaker cabinet. If it is a complete amplifier, I would strongly recommend giving that 50-year-old baby some TLC, like new filter caps, checking the tubes, servicing the pots and sockets. Thank you for bringing this to light.
My province is in its worst lockdown right now, just chilling in the dark binging your channel all I have to say is thank you man. You really go out of your way to do these 🙌. Crazy to think that I pay for a Netflix subscription yet this is my favourite content right here.
Well Matthew, nice score! I'm glad you tied your hair back before sticking your head in that thing. Nice sound. But I think you're right, you need more power, Scotty! Sorry. I could help it.
Love seeing the strat and les paul special on the couch. I have those same 2 guitars (not vintage) in the same colors, you could say you've inspired me! Cheers and great video
Its sound like you described it, like a circular sound, great find and awesome sound mate, looking forward to hear what element this brings out in your playing
I made one of those cabinets a few years ago similar to that anyways. There was a old Lawrence Welk organ on craigslist for free so I got it because it had a Leslie system in it. The keyboard I had a ground issue I couldn’t figure it out but I decided to take the Leslie out and put it in a old empty 15 guitar cabinet. I also installed a 12 inch speaker . It turned out pretty good I rigged up a foot switch to control the two speed motor. Only used it in one gig and I actually didn’t use it I let my keyboard player play through it. He ended up buying a Roland keyboard which had a Leslie simulator in it Sweet. I have a demo of me demonstrating that cabinet on UA-cam. Really enjoy your shows.😎
This thing is sick, great video dude.
Man I just caught you on insta live right after listening to dipped in tone. I swear i am not following you in that way. (I mean, i follow you but not that way lol)

Next Rhett will get one and do vids and these will become unobtainium!
Thanks Rhett, would be great to hear you record through one! ✌🏻
I was gifted an organ and a Leslie speaker in ‘74. I didn’t play the organ that much so I played my guitar through it. It was addicting
Did you get it from an organ donor?
@@norlanderduwallis9074 😅🤣
Hope you still have it! ✌🏻
@@MatthewScottmusic Actually, the keyboard player in my band was a much better organist than I was a guitarist, so, after about 20 years, I gifted it to him. He still uses it!
@@norlanderduwallis9074 It was an organ "gifter".

I found a USA vibratone leslie inside a 1973 Farfisa Organ... i chopped the organ and took it out ! .. love it
"You don't Know How It Feels" is a good example of Mike Campbell using one.
The Vibratone is *AWESOME!*
The Fender Pinwheel pedal does a really good job of replicating the tone of the Vibratone and Leslie roto effect.

i was lucky enough to get my hands on a late 60’s Vibratone back in january, been completely addicted ever since lol
Beautiful playing of Purple Rain
Purple Rain Purple Rain perfect with that amp
I look forward to every video you post cause your tone and your picking makes me happy.
Matthew - Your stories are so great. I look forward to them when published.
INCREDIBLE VIDEO! My mind is blown Matthew!
Always a real pleasure to hear you playing.
I have one and I love it when the soundman puts the mic in front of the cab.
this is cool as hell, didn't know too many of these still existed today
Not many do. There are not for sale that I can find online.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
You can jam and dry a load of laundry at the same time!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sweet! Nice job figuring out the rotating sound problem. That’s exactly what I would have done.
Awesome video! Nice work with the fix. I've been wanting to build one of these for a while now.
I love the strat sound so much being a fellow texan...srv is one of my heroes,. Love ur videos man!!

Gatton did use a Leslie cabinet, I believe. He controlled it thru his Magic Dingus Box.
I had a tolex-covered speaker back in '75 that looked like this, but was branded "Leslie 18." It had a great sound.
When any video from this channel comes out,it just inspires me to play
Sounds lovely!
I have a recording of SRV in Australia (I think, or Japan) using the Vibratone for the whole show. It was just before he hit rock bottom with the substances; everything is a LITTLE sloppy and jammed out to forever, too. Still SRV, just far from my favorite performance!
watching matt work the fretboard is good!
I really like the trolley. We use them at work. Smooth, durable and really useful. Great piece of kit.
Nice Leslie by the way.
Thanks Matt for sharing your very cool vintage gear. For all of us gear heads this is very enjoyable. Love your videos.
Harrison used his on the single version of Let It Be. He also used it on the bridge section of Badge by Cream and on It Don't Come Easy by Ringo.
Yay! I bought a Hammond t-120 (real tonewheel) organ a few years ago with a very similar built-in speaker.

A little tribute to Prince in there....🙏🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

I just mounted a speaker jack in the back, and use a seperat Dual Showman Reverb head to run it.
I use tons of reverb through it, as it sounds so great....
Also good to use a lot of treble, as the styrofoam absorbs a lot of high frequencies....
All the best from Denmark

Beautiful sensitive playing suited the cab s well.

Sounds amazing - lots of possibilities with that thing.
I made one of those cabinets a few years ago similar to that anyways. There was a old Lawrence Welk organ on craigslist for free so I got it because it had a Leslie system in it. The keyboard I had a ground issue I couldn’t figure it out but I decided to take the Leslie out and put it in a old empty 15 guitar cabinet. I also installed a 12 inch speaker . It turned out pretty good I rigged up a foot switch to control the two speed motor. Only used it in one gig and I actually didn’t use it I let my keyboard player play through it. He ended up buying a Roland keyboard which had a Leslie simulator in it Sweet. I have a demo of me demonstrating that cabinet on UA-cam. Really enjoy your shows.😎
Very nice job on the repair. Your guitar playing has become very bluesy. You play with a lot of soul. Cheers
Very cool. The model 18 has a 12” and no crossover. I’ve always wanted the Leslie branded one, thought the logo looked cooler.
Wow ! Love that Leslie tone ❣️
Unbelievable Tone! Nice work
