Old School - Vintage Tremolo
The OLD SCHOOL tremolo pedal recalls the luxurious tremolo sounds of vintage tube amps. Derived from a rich sounding, but feature-limited tremolo circuit from the 1960s, we added extra range to both speed & depth controls. But we did not stop there! We added two unique circuits - one to starve the circuit to add grit & chop, and another that can adjust the voicing of the tremolo effect.
POWER - Accepts the industry-standard 2.1mm pin, 5.5mm barrel, negative-tip power supply. Accepts 9V up to 15V.
Controls
LEVEL - controls the output of the Old School DEPTH - sets how far the volume dips at the bottom of the tremolo volume sweep STARVE - affects the bias of the gain stage used to make the tremolo. Clockwise = cleaner, fuller sound with less depth. Counterclockwise = gritty, distorted sound that is nearly silent when the volume dips SPEED - sets the rate of the tremolo effect RANGE - sets the range of the speed control VOICE - sets the bass response at the louder end of the tremolo sweep. Up = full bass, throbbing tremolo, middle = smooth, mid-focused tremolo, , down = bright, fluttering tremolo BUFFER/TRUE - this internal switch selects between buffered and true bypass switching. LED - This internal trimpot affects the brightness of the LED indicator. DUALMODE - Wait 3 seconds and press tap + tap + hold for 3 seconds with the footswitch to activate or deactivate momentary mode.
