Catalinbread Tremolo8 Pedal
Loading...
SKU: TREMOLO8
In a past life, this project started as a pedal for Catalinbread's personal enjoyment — a digitized model of the Fender Showman's "harmonic vibrato". The experiment was a resounding success, so they started experimenting with more LFOs and more tremolo styles!
The folks at Catalinbread really like the sound of tremolo splashing against a reverb (like Magnatones or Vibro Champs), and their previous work on the Topanga Burnside reflects this. At the same time, they're suckers for bigger ethereal reverbs, so Catalinbread decided to add some trem-specific reverb algorithms and a subtle tone control. After researching and implementing them to exhaustion, they discovered that not all LFOs are created equal and some are much more equal than others!
A sawtooth LFO leads to wild reverse-esque sonic manipulation and a fluttery compressed sound when set low. A square wave with a duty cycle control ("on" time) leads to a thumping, stuttering reverb sound, so why not turbocharge the square wave to a few kilohertz and churn out some wacky sum and difference frequencies? In a completely different program, trem modulation with chorus floating on top sounded too good to leave out. When working on the Many Worlds, Catalinbread had so much fun with the envelope-controlled phase angle that they wanted something like that in here, so they crafted an envelope-controlled trem rate with adjustable sensitivity and attack/decay, leading to head-spinning effects when letting chords ring out or when cranking some touch-sensitive solos. "Tremolo" is only scratching the surface. The Tremolo8 shows you what volume modulation is truly capable of!
