Description

Edit description

Utilizing an expensive opto-isolator and carefully designed analog circuitry, the GarageTone Tremolo nails the effect with perfection at an incredibly low price. In addition to the usual Speed and Depth controls, the GarageTone Tremolo also has a unique Wave control that alters the overall feel of the effect. Last but not least, there’s even a blinking LED that blinks in time to the Tremolo speed!

Perfect "unusual" tremolo

Is it like the fender amps? I don't know, but is a good tremolo!

And the volume signal does not increase or decrease for me when a use this pedal.

Is a very unusual tremolo, not like TR-2 or Pulsar tremolo.

Beautiful.

This is my second GT pedal. I use this one more than the Phaser - no particular reason other than my music style. I would wholeheartedly recommend this pedal to anyone.
