The Tidewater

The Tidewater by JHS is a compact amp-style tremolo pedal designed to faithfully recreate the beloved amp tremolo with warmth and character. It features standard controls for Volume, Mix, and Speed, allowing for versatile tone shaping. The Volume control sets the overall volume at unity, below unity, or above unity for a boosted tone. With the Mix turned all the way down, the Tidewater can be used as a warm preamp boost. The Mix knob controls the depth of the tremolo, while the Speed knob controls the tremolo speed, indicated by an LED next to the Speed knob.

The pedal measures 3.6" x 1.5" x 1" and requires standard 9V DC negative power, consuming 3 mA. Additionally, it features a three-way dip switch on the back plate for adjusting the Speed's range, providing further customization options for users.

The Tidewater is suitable for guitarists seeking a simple, amp-like tremolo effect in a compact form factor, making it an ideal choice for those looking to add tremolo to their pedalboard without taking up much space.
