Mr. Black Analog Tremolo

Tremolo. Amplitude Modulation.

Some call it vintage, some call it classic, some even call it the original guitar effect, but one thing is certain: tremolo has established itself as an iconic sound for decades because for the simple fact that it sounds lovely.

When we set out to design the Analog Tremolo, we had a very simple goal: create an exceptional tremolo with a small footprint. This goal seems easy enough, and on the surface it is, but as many of us know, the simplest solutions are often the most difficult to achieve...

As its core amplitude engine, the Analog Tremolo employs a high-performance VCA (voltage-controlled amplifier) ensuring smooth and pure 100%-analog modulation. The VCA engine is driven by a precision multi-waveform LFO with a staggering range of speeds, and it is because of this combination that the Analog Tremolo’s intensity can range from 0% (you can use the Analog Tremolo as a powerful clean boost with the Intense control set full CCW) all the way up to a full -100dB chop.

Three classic waveforms allow you to choose just the right pulse and throb for your song (selected by pressing the little black button and displayed in real-time on the indicator LED), and we couldn't resist adding a special “just because it sounds really cool” bonus, we affectionately call: Robot Mode.

Robot Mode disables the Rate control, and dials the LFO up to its physical maximum potential. Robot Mode can be tamed to barely audible, or cranked up to full power quickly and easily by turning the Intense control.

The final piece of the puzzle was the addition of an active master volume output control, ensuring very low output impedance which can easily drive long cable runs, complex pedalboards and also ensures seamless integration into whatever effects chain the Analog Tremolo slides into.

Rounded out by mechanical true-bypass and drawing only 17mA via “industry-standard” 9V pedal power (or an internal 9V  battery), the Analog Tremolo makes a classic effect timelessly shine.
