Description
Tremolo is one of the earliest effects to be applied to the electric guitar, and its timeless quality has ensured its popularity across many genres throughout the years. Signature Analogue Tremolo is our take on this classic effect, created with the refined analogue engineering that Hamstead Soundworks is known for.
The MkII Signature Tremolo takes our Signature ‘Sinewave’ circuit straight out of the Artist +RT series amplifiers and packages it into a pedalboard-friendly format. This is coupled with two additional tremolo modes, and the features of Wave Shaping, and expression & speed control pedal support.
Our Signature ‘Sinewave’ mode is a true sinusoidal waveform for the cleanest, smoothest and most musical sounding tremolo. Switch to ‘Classic’ mode for a more vintage feel, replicating the familiar tremolo sounds found in vintage amplifiers and thousands of seminal records from the 1950s to the present day. The MkII model adds ‘Triangle’ mode which is far more natural sounding than the angular name suggests, and is particularly useful when used with the Shape control.
The Shape control is another new feature for the MkII and allows the ability to tilt any of the waveforms to the left or right. In Triangle mode this can create both up and down sawtooth waveforms for more modern tremolo effects, and can really accentuate the thump of output bias style tremolo in Classic mode.

The best tremolo no one’s heard of
This pedal has been featured on That Pedal Show and reviewed in all the usual places but I rarely if ever see it on anyone’s board (not here in the US anyway).
I have a Victory V40 Duchess Deluxe head that has a great tremolo unit but the speed options are limited. And while it does what it does well (classic tremolo), it doesn’t do more than that. Enter the Hamstead Soundworks.
I’ve never played a Hamstead amp but the pedal circuit is taken from the analog tremolo they use in their amps. There are three wave forms (classic, sine wave and triangle) and you can use a shape dial to tilt them left or right. So you have old school, vintage tremolo with a bunch of added versatility. It’s all analog, no digital waveform circuitry, so they all sound great.
There are a few videos on the product page, check them out.
