Catalinbread Tremolo 8

Only Scratching the Surface of what Volume Modulation is Truly Capable of In a past life, this project started as a pedal for Catalinbread's personal enjoyment; a digitized model of the Fender Showman’s "harmonic vibrato". The experiment was a resounding success, so the started experimenting with more LFOs and more tremolo styles. They really like the sound of tremolo splashing against a reverb like Magnatones or Vibro Champs and their previous work on the Topanga Burnside reflects this. At the same time, they are suckers for bigger ethereal reverbs so they decided to add some trem-specific reverb algorithms and a subtle tone control. After researching and implementing them to exhaustion, they discovered that not all LFOs are created equal and some are much more equal than others. A sawtooth LFO leads to wild reverse-esque sonic manipulation and a fluttery compressed sound when set low. A square wave with a duty cycle control ("on" time) leads to a thumping, stuttering reverb sound, so
