Introduction:
Often used in the past for “surf”music, or for pop,
the tremolo has resurfaced as a cool part of modern
heavy rock and roll. The Reaction Tremolo provides a great sounding trem that lets you go from
surf bum tremolo to a pulsating heart pounding
Staccato tremolo (think death metal). The speed
control allows enough range to even produce a
machine gun effect, or a low tech re-sample effect
as well. The Reaction Tremolo is a classic asymmetric analog tremolo that utilizes a photo cell for
great results.
Rocktron’s Reaction Series pedals are built into
a rugged metal slim form factor chassis, taking
up as little space as possible on your pedalboard.
The Reaction Tremolo is a TRUE BYPASS pedal:
when you turn it off…it is out of your signal path!
Controls include SPEED which controls the speed
of the tremolo modulation. ACTIVE is the LED
which provides visual feedback to help set the
SPEED control.
WAVEFORM lets you select either Triangle
