Pigtronix Tremvelope
Tremvelope is a tremolo pedal that allows the
dynamics of your playing to change the speed and depth of
the effect. The result is an intuitive, all analog sound that takes
a classic stompbox concept to a whole new level.
Tremvelope is versatile. With the envelope switched off,
you get a high fidelity optical tremolo with stereo panning outputs.
Tremvelope’s fat sounding audio path is modulated by an LFO with SPEED,
DEPTH and WAVEFORM controls.
When the ENVELOPE is switched on, the tremolo is
influenced by what you play. The SPEED and DEPTH knobs can each be
assigned to increase or decrease in response to the strength of the
signal coming from your instrument. These changes in SPEED and DEPTH
start from where the knobs are set and independently move in the
direction assigned by the user.
The ACCELERATION switch adjusts the response time of the
tremolo to changes in your playing and the SENSITIVITY knob provides
control over the amount of increase it takes to create changes in the
tremolo settings. Expression pedal inputs for speed, and vol/pan add
external foot control to this animated beast of a pedal. There is also a
TRIGGER input for running the Tremvelope late in an effects chain but
still allowing your clean signal (or even a different instrument
entirely) to control the envelope directly.
Tremvelope achieves a stimulating state of sonic flux by
altering both speed and depth in sync with what you are playing. The
resulting psycho-acoustic effects are sometimes reminiscent of the
Leslie rotating speaker cabinet, whose signature sound is most
pronounced when
the rate of its speaker’s rotation is changing. The
continual changes in rate and depth achieved by the Tremvelope are
highly interactive with the musician. Since the Tremvelope is sensitive
to what you play and you are sensitive to how your music sounds, there
is an instantaneous feedback between the motion of the tremolo and your
motions on the instrument.
