BOSS TR-2 Tremolo Effects Pedal

The BOSS TR-2 Tremolo brings the classic, hypnotic pulsing effect of vintage tremolo circuits to a reliable compact stompbox format, delivering high-quality vintage tremolo sounds with intuitive operation. From gentle, swirling country-style warble to deep, choppy stutter effects, the TR-2 covers the full spectrum of tremolo tones that guitarists have loved since the earliest days of electric guitar. Its three-control layout makes dialing in the perfect tremolo sound fast and effortless.

The TR-2's dedicated WAVE control adjusts the LFO waveform smoothly from triangle-wave to square-wave, allowing you to move between soft, rounded volume pulsing and sharp, rhythmic chopping. The RATE control offers a wide range of speed adjustment—exceeding the range of earlier classic tremolo designs—and the DEPTH control determines the intensity of the volume modulation from subtle shimmer to dramatic in-and-out cutoffs. Together, these three controls give players everything they need to craft a highly personalized tremolo character.

Built in the iconic BOSS compact enclosure with road-tough construction and buffered bypass for transparent signal integrity, the TR-2 is equally suitable for studio recording and live performance. It runs on a standard 9V battery or optional PSA-series AC adapter and is backed by the BOSS five-year warranty. The TR-2 is an essential modulation tool for country, rock, surf, pop, and experimental players seeking authentic tremolo tones.
