About This Listing

Tremolo2

The Empress Tremolo2 is an original design built from the ground up
to include innovative features without sacrificing tone. The audio
signal path is analog, but the tremolo effect is controlled digitally
via opto technology.

Tap tempo, selectable waveforms, a
choice of 8 rhythms and a full preset system capable of storing up to 8
presets are all at your fingertips. The control port allows control
over the Tremolo2 via external tap tempo, expression pedal, contro l
voltage and MIDI, making the tremolo2 more powerful than ever!



Features

  • Pristine Sound - The Empress Tap Tremolo2 Pedal
    has to be heard to be believed. It's whisper quiet and free from the
    "LFO throb" usually associated with tremolos. We dare anyone to find a
    better sounding tremolo.

  • Waveform Selection - You can modulate your sound
    with three different waveforms. An asymmetrical tremolo was modeled
    after a '65 Fender Vibrolux (brown face) to give you the fullest
    tremolo sound possible. A square wave can be utilized if you're after a
    harder sound. And if you're looking for a more normal tremolo, you can
    use the triangle wave setting.

  • Tap Tempo - The Empress Tap Tremolo2 Pedal
    averages your last four taps so it plays in sync with your music. You
    can also choose different tap to tremolo rate ratios. 1:1, 3:4, 1:2,
    1:3 and 1:4 are available.

  • Rhythms - Another exclusive feature. The Empress
    Trem will definitely do your run-of-the-mill tremolo sound to a tee.
    But you can also set it to play different rhythms. Check out the
    soundclips for examples.

  • Gain - A problem with most tremolos on the market
    is that when they're engaged, you hear a noticeable drop in volume. The
    Empress Trem solves this by having a gain stage on the output. It's
    able to deliver up to 12dB of gain without adding any distortion to the
    signal.

  • Presets - Save all your settings in up to 8 presets and recall with the touch of a button.

  • True Bypass - The Empress Trem employs true
    bypass, so you can be sure that it's not affecting the signal when
    disengaged. Buffered bypass is also available if that's your thing.

  • Advanced Configuration Menu - The Advanced
    configuration menu lets you configure how your tremolo works. Select
    from true or buffered bypass, 0-8 presets, MIDI configuration, Control
    port control (expression pedal, external tap, control voltage and MIDI)
    as well as which preset system to use, the ramp speed when switching
    between presets and more!

  • Perfect Size - The enclosure measures
    approximately 4.5" by 3.5" by 1.5", which is delightfully small when
    considering all the features packed into this unit.

Product Overview
The Empress Tremolo 2, following up the original Empress Tremolo, brings your signal through an analog path so as not to sacrifice tone but produces a digital tremolo effect using opto technology. The Tremolo 2 gives you three separate waveforms to choose from when building your trem that can be set to different rhythms for a ton of different combinations, and its added gain stage can bring up to 12dB of undistorted gain. Once you've found a trem you love, save it in one of the 8 recallable presets the Trem 2 offers.
