Dial the Dunlop JD-4S Rotovibe sound in on your own rig
Rotating-speaker and Uni-Vibe style modulation in a treadle enclosure: the pedal itself sweeps the modulation rate from 0.55Hz to 9.5Hz underfoot while a knob sets depth, with a switch between chorus and the deeper, more pitch-warped vibrato mode. Thick and watery in the Hendrix vein, and the foot-controlled speed makes ramping in and out of the effect part of the performance. Buffered bypass.
