Harmonic Tremolo YES < Amplitude > Harmonic tremolo splits the incoming signal into two frequency bands : Low‐band and High‐band, then applies tremolo to the two bands in the opposite direction, that is, you hear the low‐band sig‐ nal and high‐band signal alternatingly. The resulting sound is a uniquely lush throbing vibe with a touch of phasing. To spice things up further, we’ve added a parameter which controls the center fre‐ Frequency quency at which the low‐band and the high‐band components intersect, this gives a wide ranging tonal variety. Finally, two ‘vibe’ modes : Subtle and Deep provide additional flexibility in shaping the harmonic bliss. Oh hey, don’t forget to try the stereo panning mode!

Dynamic : intensity (depth) of the vibrato is surpressed as signal level is high, and then comes back up when signal level ceases. This is a very powerful mode, as it allows you to apply deep vibrato only on the tails of a phrase, leaving the main part of the phrase much less affected. We have also added the Rise Time parameter, similar to that of the vintage Boss VB‐2 pedal. This parameter controls the time it takes for the vibrato to reach full intensity when the algorithm is activated, in some scenario gradually intensifying vibrato gives a more natural result.
