Supreme Balloon is an advanced tremolo pedal designed to cover the full range of classic amplitude modulation while introducing a set of innovative controls for creating uniquely expressive and unconventional rhythmic textures. From smooth, vintage-inspired pulses to complex harmonic movement and unpredictable modulation patterns, Supreme Balloon offers both familiar sounds and entirely new territory.

The pedal features standard Depth and Rate controls for setting the intensity and speed of the modulation. For rhythmic shifts, the dedicated Speed footswitch multiplies the current modulation rate by four, enabling smooth transitions from slow, subtle movement to rapid stutter-like effects.

At the heart of Supreme Balloon is a flexible waveform engine built around Sawtooth, Sine, and Square wave LFOs. The Morph control allows smooth transitions between waveform shapes, creating continuously variable modulation curves rather than abrupt waveform changes. In addition, the selected waveform can be flipped or inverted within the morphing process, opening up a wide range of asymmetrical and evolving modulation patterns.

The Split control blends between standard tremolo and harmonic tremolo by dividing the incoming signal into separate frequency bands and modulating them independently. At lower settings, the effect behaves as traditional full-spectrum tremolo; as the control is increased, the signal transitions smoothly into harmonic tremolo, producing rich, phase-like movement and enhanced dimensionality.

A unique Skip toggle introduces randomized dropouts in the modulating LFO cycle, creating irregular pulses, missing beats, and unexpected rhythmic variations. This feature can add subtle human-like inconsistency or dramatic, unpredictable interruption depending on the selected settings.

There are momentary functions for each of the foot switches. Momentary on from a bypassed state, and hidden ‘while on’ features.

Shipping

We send A LOT of packages every week so don't worry about the shipping side of things!

We've never lost a thing and your awesome new gear will be packed up really well to avoid any damage in transit.

If your order comes in before 2pm we will ship it same day. Most of the time we pack things up all the way to 4pm so just call if you need it to leave same day after 2pm.

We ship mainly with Australia Post but may use a courier depending on location and size of the package.

Free Post ships with Australia Post standard and expected shipping times are between 4-6 business days depending on location. It will be longer to outside of metro and rural areas.

Express Post will usually be with you next business day in metro areas of QLD, NSW, SA, VIC and TAS. WA will take 2 days to metro and extra days after that to out side metro and rural areas.

Everything we ship has a tracking number with the exception of some power cables and smaller envelope packages. You will be emailed tracking once your order has been shipped!
