Uni-vibe Pedals - Cool Cat Vibe and Chicken Salad
These two pedals by Danelectro do a good job of the vibe thing. Notice how the Cool Cat vibe increases the volume slightly. Also notice how it takes a couple of seconds before you can hear the effect after pressing the pedal. View video

This is the song off the 1972 recording by the Allman Brothers
Band, "Eat A Peach". This song already has two chord files on the
all the lead parts for the song, including the dual lead guitar breaks
and the extended solo.

  "Blue Sky" by Dicky Betts, copyright 1972 (Capricorn Records)
              (96 bpm)  5:10

  **Intro (rhythm guitar-acoustic, lead guitar-clean electric)

   Note: It sounds to me like there are two lead guitars in the intro.
         There is one dominant one while the other seems to be
         muddled in the background. There is also an organ part. It's
         hard to hear both of the guitars, so I only wrote it for one.

   **Verse
