A very versatile Tremolo

This is the most versatile Tremolo pedal I've ever tried. You can adjust every single parameter you can imagine, and even use it as a booster. The big knobs are intendend to modify settings on-the-fly with your foot.

Tremelo covered.

Nice, if chunky, device. Can do slow & subtle, and fast & aggressive volume changes. Personally prefer it slower ... tend to leave it left on, but great to have the options on tap. Mix and volume knobs are essential, and I believe there's an internal pot to adjust boost / gain ... never found the need to investigate and alter that though.

This thing is sick

This thing is great. If you keep it on but run it dry it adds a slight high end boost to your signal which is tight! Just bummed it didnt come with those awesome black knobs. Came with smaller ones.

Tone, durability, usability.

As close to on-board trem tone as it gets. Love the pre-amp's sound so I leave it on all the time. Great options for 2 speeds, and will last forever.

Less is more

really don't need much more than this for tremolo. hard/soft and speed switches are all I needed.

Description

Vintage tremolo meets modern innovation.

Fulltone Supa-Trem Model ST-1, one of the finest amp-style Tremolo pedals on the market since its debut in 1996, just got a whole lot better. It's now also an incredible sounding clean boost!

For years people have been turning the ST-1's Mix knob down all the way, opening the pedal, and turning up its internal volume control to maximum, and using the Supa-Trem as a very subtle clean boost. Now Fulltone added a low-profile Volume knob on the outside of the pedal, and increased its available gain to around 15dB... allowing the ST-1 to pull double duty as a stellar clean boost. One reason the Supa-Trem sounds so good is that it uses a wonderful Analog Devices JFET AD711JN at the heart of its circuit, giving you a warm yet clear tone when your pedal is turned on.

The ST-1 also employs a custom-designed Fulltone Opto-1 photocell with an extremely fast recovery time which no other manufacturer can match. This makes it behave just like an old 1960's American tube-amp, but without the annoying ticking sounds that plague amps and other tremolo pedals. The Supa-Trem is the most versatile tremolo on the market, sporting True-Bypass with Blue On/Off L.E.D. and a Red Rate L.E.D. showing your speed at all times (even when pedal is Off) so you can drop right into the song at the correct tempo.

With the ST-1's large Rate and Mix knobs you can fine-tune on-the-fly with your foot. The Speed footswitch correctly halves or doubles your tempo so you stay rhythmically-correct with the tempo of the song you're playing!

Finally, there's a Hard/Soft footswitch for choosing between Soft Mode (a rollicking sine-wave) or Hard Mode, which is more of a square-wave machine-gun stutter. There's an internal trimmer to fine-tune the current reaching the Photocell to change feel of the waveform, although we recommend leaving it where we set it so you have the ability to turn down the Mix control and not hear any tremolo when using as a clean boost.
