Berkeley
Vibe/Univibe / Rotary
Listing Description
The Horrothia FX Berkeley is a vibe modulation effects pedal designed to closely follow the late 1960s analog signal path. The circuit features carbon film resistors, Mylar capacitors, and carefully selected transistors with characteristics matching vintage units. Slight modifications have been implemented, based on common late-60s adjustments, to increase low-frequency response and fluid modulation texture. Instead of a bulb, the Berkeley uses four hand-matched Vactrol photocells, tested for consistency within a precise operational range. This ensures predictable phase modulation and reliable performance.
**Features:**

- Uses carbon film resistors, Mylar capacitors, and vintage-matched transistors
- Four hand-selected Vactrol photocells for consistent phase shifting
- Enhanced low-end response and modulation fluidity based on period-correct mods
- Designed for optimal tonal accuracy and classic analog performance
