Diamond Tremolo Pedal
At
the heart of the new Diamond Tremolo is a 100% analog signal path
utilizing an optoisolator like vintage tube amplifiers of the 60's. The
analog signal path is combined with a microprocessor controller to
provide a host of cool features including:
tap
tempo and footswitchable double speed mode
user
selectable waveforms (sharkfin, sinewave, square wave and 'chop')
timing
accents (3/4, 6/8, 2/4 and 4/4)
rhythmic
trem mode
'Chaotic'
mode - random speeds with any waveform!
TapView
(TM) feature allows the player to visually see the tempo and tap speed
while tapping a new setting.
It's important to note that at no point is your
instrument signal
converted to digital! Everything you hear is completely analog. Vintage
sounds, modern flexibility.
Some of the coolest sounds in the Diamond Tremolo come from the 4
rhythmic accent and 2 rhythmic pattern modes that we've
included.
The accented waveforms produce stronger pulses on particular beats as
shown below, with larger bold numbers representing the accents:
2/4- sounds like 1-2-1-2
4/4- sounds like 1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4
3/4- sounds like 1-2-3-1-2-3
6/8- sounds like 1-2-3-4-5-6-1-2-3-4-5-6
The rhythmic patterns are a little bit different in that they actually
produce a rhythm by using repeating groups of pulses that form note
lengths. There are two to chose from - Two eigthth notes and a quarter
note (1-and-2-3-and-4) or Four
sixteenth notes, followed by 2 eighth notes
(1-e-and-a-2-and-3-e-and-a-4-and)
Any of the accent or rhythmic patterns can be used with any of the four
waveforms (sharkfin, sine, square or 'chop) and combined with various
speeds and depths, the Tremolo can provide an almost limitless variety
of trem sounds.
