Members diocide Posted October 24, 2012 Members Share Posted October 24, 2012 So I don't own a trem pedal right now, but I was wondering what my options are for a trem pedal that totally square waves. Meaning that it can fluctuate down to no signal. I basically want something that will sound as if I had a kills witch and was pushing it on and off. Any thoughts? Don't need it to be anything fancy, so long as it does the above well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cryptosonic Posted October 24, 2012 Members Share Posted October 24, 2012 Tremulus lune does full square chop but might be more controls than you want. Doesn't EQD make a square wave trem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which sounds like something you'd want for your application. Also you can change the symmetry of the square wave, which has some interesting effect on the sound. Not to mention depth and speed expression pedal inputs. Tremolessence is my personal favorite tremolo, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That shape knob is sweet and I really like that the little LED acts exactly like the signal. It's pulsations react with the depth, rate and shape knobs, not just rate like some pedals with blinky indicators. Makes setting it visually a snap.
