FREI
Frei is the name of my youngest son, named after the Norse god of peace & love.
It was the obvious choice for naming my first vibe pedal and we're now on the fourth unofficial iteration and I think we've finally landed on the exact manifestation needed for this incredibly important sound, the sound of life itself.
The classic heart throb pulsation of a true optical vibe is for the very first time post EU-intervention available to the market, thanks in no small part to my absolutely delirious obsession with this universally cherished, often misunderstood, but always emotionally gripping sound.
Scott Holiday told me he desperately needed me to add an expression pedal input, and who am I to tell him "no"?
This thing has all the trimmings, and the internal 8-bit DIP switch system still offers not just classic uni-vibe and the distinctly different reslytone voicings, but an additional 254 other options. You can even turn it into a half ramp half square wave tremolo.
Whatever you do, just turn it on, lean back into the deep and human undulations and oscillations it produces, leave your playing awash with the waves of that distinct not quite nostalgic, déjà vécu experience of being alive, in the summer of your life, because what else are we doing here?
