Tremolo

With the Pipeline Tap Tremolo’s introduction, TC Electronic takes a highly-anticipated tremolo device to their innovative TonePrint range of effects pedals. Credits to Square and Vintage settings, the Pipeline is a blessing for vintage tone enthusiasts and players seeking new and inspiring sounds. A roll of a knob gives you six tap tempo-based note subdivisions, delivering great rhythmic depth to your sound. As if that were not enough, the TonePrint Library and Editor provide conveniently accessible custom sounds produced by you and artists.

The Monument dual footswitch stompbox from Walrus Audio is essentially two tremolo effects in one. It’s both a harmonic and standard tremolo that lets you whip up a slew of rich modulation pulses with peaks and valleys that can be as smooth or as sharply jagged as you want them to be. A dedicated Shape knob lets you choose between multiple wave shapes—Sine, Square, Ramp, and Lumps—or just let the Monument go ballistic by using the random Monument Mode.

It’s both a harmonic and standard tremolo that lets you whip up a slew of rich modulation pulses with peaks and valleys that can be as smooth or as sharply jagged as you want them to be. The Monument V2 features a pretty sizeable redesign and has a much smaller form factor while still retaining the original’s terrific tremolo tone.

With two types of tremolo modulation writhing under its hood, the Undulator all analog tremolo effects stomp from budget guitar effects pedal maker Xvive is one versatile beast. It gives you a choice between sine and square wave shapes and features true stereo outputs. Want to stick to mono? The Undulator does that well, too. Simple Speed and Depth controls keep the Undulator an easy to use but extremely musical tremolo pedal. The Undulator also features true bypass switching.

Calling the Sonar tremolo pedal from boutique guitar effects pedal company Zvex “versatile” is an understatement. It does everything a more traditional tremolo pedal can do, but it also has some unique tricks up its sleeves. The Sonar can sound amazingly transparent but it can also chop your signal into absolute silence, slow down or speed up the tempo, and even duty cycle. This hand-painted version of the Sonar Tremolo comes with a lifetime warranty.

Zvex’s Vexter line of silk screened pedals feature the exact same tone, feature set, and internal parts and circuits as their hand-painted counterparts. The only differences are the painting process and the price.
