"I bought a Sequential Circuits Six-Trak, and that's fantastic, so much fun."
Mentioned in this 2016 Reverb.com listing, which was a charity auction of the serial 001 10th Anniversary Tremolo signed by Summers.
The Empress Tremolo is 10 Years old! We’re celebrating with a limited edition, 10th anniversary tremolo pedal. Only 250 of these pedals will be made, each with its serial number engraved on the front of the pedal.
Andy Summers, of The Police, was one of the first users of our original tremolo pedal 10 years ago. He was super awesome and signed serial number 1 of 250 for us to auction off for charity. 100% of the proceeds from this auction will go to charity, so please help support a good cause!
In addition, for every 10th anniversary tremolo sold, we will donate $10 to charity.
Being animal lovers, we're supporting Big Sky Ranch, Ottawa's only no-kill animal shelter.
Summers can be seen playing a Danelectro Longhorn Guitarlin in this studio photo.
