Critic Reviews

The Fender Tremolux | Vintage Guitar® magazine

vintageguitar.com

The Fender Tremolux stands out as a hidden gem among tweed amps, offering big-amp features in a small-to-medium package. With its robust fixed-bias design and long-tailed-pair phase inverter, it delivers a sound reminiscent of the Bassman, yet perfectly scaled for intimate venues. The lush tremolo adds a rich dimension, while its vintage charm is underscored by original components from 1960. However, its rarity might make it elusive for some collectors. Overall, the Tremolux is a delightful blend of history and sound, making it a prized find for those lucky enough to own one.

Mix engineer Tommaso Colliva on recording Drones : "We did extensive amp research for the guitar sound for ‘The Globalist Part 1’. Matt had a very precise sound in mind, which was retro, warm and intimate. I took the DI from live tracking of the song to try out a collection of amps I rented, particularly many late-’50s Fender amps — Tremolux, Deluxe, tweeds, etc — and did a massive shootout to get the right sound. We ended up using a Deluxe and a Tremolux in combination, one with and one without tremolo."

On his time in the band Axelhouse, Gregory says "We made our TV debut on Swindon Cable channel Viewpoint in May. Marshall 100-watt amp head added June 1974 – WAY too loud – I sold it 3 months later and replaced it with a 30-watt 1962 Fender Tremolux piggy-back amp, which I use today with my Fender 6-string bass. '61 Stratocaster traded for new stock Telecaster November 1974. "

There are always at least two! I increasingly view analog and digital electric guitar as separate instruments. On the analog side, I use mostly guitar, pedals, and amps I’ve made myself. These days I veer away from using pedalboards in favor of devising ad hoc signal chains to suit the situation at hand. Fave gear that I didn’t make includes my Trussart Steelcaster, an old Gibson Trini Lopez, a ’63 Strat, a Carr Skylark amp, and a lovely brownface Fender Tremolux.
