The TrÈmolo is a very powerful optical tremolo at a very fair price, especially for a pedal made in France with high-quality components. As always, our first concern while designing the TrÈmolo was to not ruin the precious sound you’ve spent many years trying to find. You won’t find an analog to digital converter in there, your sound only goes through a purely analog signal path. Keeping your sound intact while offering precise settings and endless possibilities was a daunting task to say the least. Waveforms are created by a processor before they are transmitted to the optical circuit that creates the tremolo effect. Analog and digital PCBs have been carefully separated inside the circuit to make servicing easier and allow for updates. When a new chip comes out, you will have access to additional waveforms. Thanks to that hybrid interface, the TrÈmolo features a Tap Tempo footswitch which also doubles as a self-oscillation trigger if you keep your foot on the switch, the perfect way to make your audience freak out at the end of a gig. It works exactly as it should: you pick your rhythmic subdivision, you tap your foot on the switch and the tremolo rate is immediately adjusted to fit the rhythm of your song, without having to turn a knob in the middle of a cool moody arpeggio. But that’s not nearly all: you can also choose your waveform (sinus, saw, square…) from six presets via the switch in the center. Moreover, the Trimpot menu gives you access to secondary settings that will allow you to craft your waveform as precisely as possible from virtually infinite possibilities. In addition, the TrÈmolo is also hiding a killswitch option that activates as you press the tap switch while bypassing the pedal. It allows you to completely cut off the sound using the tap tempo footswitch when the tremolo is switched off, a perfect secret weapon” to stun your audience. Factor that in with internal trimpots to adjust the bias and output level thanks to the purely analog signal path there are no bad-sounding settings, and you get a highly flexible and evolving tremolo that still keeps the big warm sound of optical technology. Finally, if you’re feeling adventurous, just plug in our Spinner expression pedal on your TrÈmolo for a large range of additional variations controlled by the strength of your kick!”
