Embark on a sonic journey of modulation with the RoundHouse, Colortones luscious multi mode tremolo pedal featuring three tweakable Modulation Modes, Reverb, Drive, Tap Tempo and Momentary Speed Multiplier.
OPTICAL TREMOLO
Optical Tremolo mode is the classic, vintage tremolo sound with warm and smooth waveform envelope
HARMONIC TREMOLO
The Harmonic Tremolo mode is a more complex and modern phase shifting style pulse adding further depth and dimension
VIBE
The Vibe mode emulates the classic psychedelic sound of a rotary Leslie speaker
With the addition of Tap Tempo and a Momentary Speed Multiplier, you can easily dial in the perfect tempo, adding creative rhythmic variations to your playing style.
The Reverb and Saturation (Grain) controls at the input of the modulation engine can be dialed in to excite the pulse and sustain of the effect.
Additional controls include: - Mode - Speed - Depth - Boost - Reverb - Grain - Phase - Waveshape Select - Momentary Speed Multiply and Tap Tempo.
MODULATION MODE SWITCH
Optical Tremolo
Harmonic Tremolo (Magnatone style Tremolo)
Vibe
WAVE SHAPE SWITCH
Select between Triangle, Sine and Square Wave. (Square is not selectable in Vibe mode)
SPEED
Adjust Speed of the modulation
MIX
Adjust the Mix / Depth of the effect with the Dry signal
REVERB
The Reverb knob controls the intensity/mix of reverb added to the input feeding the modulation circuit. It is a classic Silverface amp style reverb with a static decay time.
GRAIN
Increasing the Grain amount adds an analog tubelike pre-saturation to the effect. At max it boosts/compresses the level slightly adding a soft overdrive.
PHASE
Adjusting the Phase knob from its center position will change the duration of the 'on time' either towards the beginning or end of the wave cycle resulting in the modulation 'pulse' feeling more asymetrical or staccato.
BOOST
Add or Cut the output Level by +- 4db
TAP
Manually set Tempo with by Tapping the Footswitch. Set to 1:1 Tempo.
A sustained hold on the Tap switch activates the Speed multiplier which, while depressed, ramps the speed up to a multiple of the current setting. At slower modulation speeds the ramp time is relatively slow, emulating a mechanical rotary speaker changing speed.
BYPASS
Activates Relay Based Soft Touch True Bypass
