The Fjord Fuzz Frøy Resly-Vibe is a dual modulation pedal that combines two effects in one enclosure: a throbbing Uni-Vibe and a swirling Reslytone rotary-style effect. Each side has its own speed control and footswitch, so you can run either alone or both together, and in the pedal's mono configuration both channels are blended in series1.
The Reslytone name refers back to a real piece of gear history: as Delicious Audio's Griffin Jennings put it, "The Reslytone was a repackaged, tabletop version of the uni-vibe with a slightly different sound"2. The Frøy is itself a further step in Fjord Fuzz's vibe line. Guitar Pedal X's Stefan Karlsson calls it "the 4th or 5th iteration of Vibe circuit - where the last 2 iterations (Frei & Midnattssol) were made with OTA's"1. Those earlier circuits live on in the Fjord Fuzz Frei and the Fjord Fuzz Midnattssol.
Controls and footswitches
The Frøy keeps its control layout simple: two speed knobs, one per effect side, and two shared master controls1.
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Swirl | Reslytone speed1 |
| Thump | Uni-Vibe speed1 |
| Master Depth | Shared depth control1 |
| Master Level | Shared level control1 |
Two footswitches sit below the knobs: the left footswitch adds the Reslytone, and the right footswitch engages the Vibe1. That arrangement means each effect can be switched in or out independently while the shared depth and level controls stay where you set them.
Vactrols, not OTAs
A key difference from Fjord Fuzz's earlier vibe pedals is the component at the heart of the circuit. Where the Frei and Midnattssol used OTAs, the Frøy uses RoHS-compliant Vactrols, also known as light dependent resistors1. Vactrols are the traditional component choice in Uni-Vibe style circuits, so this puts the Frøy closer to the classic approach than its immediate predecessors.
What reviewers said
Guitar Pedal X's review describes the pedal's character in its own terms: "For me it has some burbly aquatic qualities", reminiscent of a Leslie or rotary simulator but with textural differences1. The overall verdict was positive: "A fantastic full-fat throbbing and swirly modulator - where the two sides of the circuit combine beautifully"1.
The Sommer Stereo prototype
Alongside the standard Frøy, Fjord Fuzz's Daniel has made a somewhat experimental prototype called the Sommer, a larger stereo variant of the Frøy with individual inputs and outputs for the Uni-Vibe and Reslytone channels1. It is available only in very limited numbers, by special order and not on general release, and only to members of the Fjord Fuzz mailing list1.
Availability and price
Guitar Pedal X lists the Frøy at $229 / £229 as of its January 2026 review1. At that time the pedal was available from the Fjord Fuzz webstore and at Andertons, with international dealers stocking it imminently1.

Questions
What is the Fjord Fuzz Frøy Resly-Vibe?
It is a modulation pedal from the Norwegian builder Fjord Fuzz that combines two effects in one enclosure: a throbbing Uni-Vibe style chorus-vibrato and a swirling Reslytone rotary-style effect. The two sides have their own speed controls and footswitches, and in mono configuration the pedal blends both channels in series. Guitar Pedal X reviewed it at its January 2026 release, priced at $229 / £229.
Can you use the Uni-Vibe and Reslytone sides separately?
Yes. Each side has its own footswitch: the left footswitch adds the Reslytone and the right footswitch engages the Vibe. Each side also has its own speed control, Swirl for the Reslytone and Thump for the Uni-Vibe, while Master Depth and Master Level are shared. In the pedal's mono configuration, both channels are blended in series.
How much does the Frøy Resly-Vibe cost?
Guitar Pedal X lists the Frøy Resly-Vibe at $229 in the United States and £229 in the United Kingdom as of its January 2026 review. It is available from the Fjord Fuzz webstore and at Andertons, with international dealers stocking it imminently at the time of that review.
Does the Frøy use Vactrols or OTAs?
The Frøy uses RoHS-compliant Vactrols, also called light dependent resistors. Guitar Pedal X notes this is a change from Fjord Fuzz's previous two vibe circuits, the Frei and Midnattssol, which were made with OTAs. The Frøy is described as the fourth or fifth iteration of the company's vibe circuit.
What is the Sommer Stereo prototype?
The Sommer is a somewhat experimental, larger stereo variant of the Frøy made by Fjord Fuzz's Daniel, with individual inputs and outputs for the Uni-Vibe and Reslytone channels. It is available in very limited numbers, by special order only and not on general release, to members of the Fjord Fuzz mailing list.
Where can you buy the Frøy Resly-Vibe?
At its January 2026 release, the Frøy Resly-Vibe was available from the Fjord Fuzz webstore and at Andertons, with international dealers stocking it imminently according to Guitar Pedal X.
