5 Songs with Vibe Effect You Probably Don’t Know (But Should)
Murilo LemosFrom psychedelic journeys to modern blues, discover how the Vibe shapes sound in unexpected ways.
When you think of the Vibe effect pedal on guitar, names like Robin Trower, David Gilmour, and Jimi Hendrix instantly come to mind. These legends made the sound iconic.
But beyond the classics, there are hidden gems — songs that use the Vibe (or vibe-style modulation) in creative, expressive ways you might not know yet. Below are five tracks where the Vibe becomes more than an effect: it becomes the soul of the music.
Philip Sayce — “Wild”
Philip Sayce, from Wales/Canada, is a modern torchbearer of blues-rock guitar. “Wild” shows how wide modulation can become a storyteller itself, giving fire and fluidity to every bend and note.
Pedro Cordeiro — “Ain’t Nothing at All”
Brazilian artist Pedro Cordeiro blends soul, blues, and modern production. The lush modulation you hear here comes directly from the Krakenheart Vibe, whose expressive sweep and deep throb shaped the song’s dreamy atmosphere.
The Experience Nebula Room — “River of Temptations”
This Brazilian instrumental / psychedelic group mixes progressive rock and hallucinatory textures. The track uses shifting tempos and ambient modulation to create depth, showing how a Vibe-style effect can be the heartbeat of an instrumental piece.
Kyuss — “Phototropic”
Kyuss, pioneers of desert rock, are known for thick tones and spacious modulation. “Phototropic” is more introspective than some of their heavier songs, and the modulation gives it an ethereal, almost crying atmosphere — a perfect example of how effects can shape emotional impact.
Samsara Blues Experiment — “Singata (Mystic Queen)”
This German band blends stoner rock, psychedelic jams, and Eastern influences. In “Singata (Mystic Queen)”, layered fuzz, sitar, and modulation effects create a hypnotic, cosmic journey that feels both vintage and timeless.
The Krakenheart Vibe
All these tracks prove one thing: the Vibe isn’t just an effect. It’s a voice, a pulse, a way to give songs their own atmosphere. The Krakenheart Vibe was designed with that philosophy in mind — from subtle pulse to mix-cutting swirl.
