Mozztronics TR-1 Tremolo Pedal

Mozztronics TR-1 Tremolo Pedal
Opto-based volume modulation. Square or triangle/sine wave shapes. Rate from slow to stuttering. Visual LED indicator. Hand made in Australia.
 
Tremolo is an old school effect, heard on many 1960s surf songs and more recent recordings over the years. To get an idea of what it sounds like, listen to Midnight Oil's "Armistice Day"—the stuttering guitar uses tremolo to achieve that sound.
 
An opto-based device modulates the volume of the guitar signal. This opto device is controlled by a low frequency oscillator which can be set to square wave or triangle/sine wave. These two modes sound quite different: square wave is more choppy or stuttering, while triangle/sine wave produces gradual changes.
 
When the effect is on, the LED flashes with the tremolo speed, providing a visual indication of the effect's operation.
 
Sound range: If RATE is turned all the way up, the sound modulation becomes almost metallic and robotic. A slow RATE and medium DEPTH in Triangle mode gives an almost chorus-like effect.
Hand made in Melbourne, Australia by Mozztronics.
