{"product_id":"catalinbread-tremolo-8-pedal-1753333","title":"Catalinbread Tremolo 8 Pedal","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn a past life, this project started as a pedal for our personal enjoyment; a digitized model of the Fender Showman’s \"harmonic vibrato\". The experiment was a resounding success, so we started experimenting with more LFOs and more tremolo styles. we really like the sound of tremolo splashing against a reverb like Magnatones or Vibro Champs and our previous work on the Topanga Burnside reflects this. At the same time, we're a sucker for bigger ethereal reverbs so we decided to add some trem-specific reverb algorithms and a subtle tone control. After researching and implementing them to exhaustion, we 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 we had so much fun with the envelope-controlled phase angle that we wanted something like that in here, so we 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Tremolo8 runs from 9 to 18 volts using a standard DC center-negative power supply for pedals. Make sure you’re using a supply that provides at least 60mA. Running the Tremolo8 at 9V will sound great, but if you want a bit more output, a dry signal boost and increased headroom, try any voltage you like up to 18V! The Tremolo8 does not run on batteries.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Catalinbread","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40476474146951,"sku":"CB-TREMOLO8","price":164.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0343\/4368\/2183\/files\/catalinbread-effects-and-pedals-tremolo-catalinbread-tremolo-8-pedal-cb-tremolo8-30427939930247.jpg?v=1683666838","url":"https:\/\/www.chicagomusicexchange.mom\/products\/catalinbread-tremolo-8-pedal-1753333","provider":"Chicago Music Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
