The Old School Tremolo by VFE is a vintage-inspired tremolo pedal designed to replicate the luxurious tremolo sounds of vintage tube amps. It features a rugged diecast aluminum enclosure and TrueSoft + DualMode true bypass switching for reliable performance. The pedal is hand-built in Puyallup, WA, USA, and incorporates industrial-grade Carling switches, Neutrik audio jacks, and Alpha pots soldered directly to the PCB.
Key Controls:
1. SPEED: Sets the speed of the tremolo effect.
2. DEPTH: Adjusts the depth of the tremolo effect. It can be turned
counterclockwise to remove the tremolo and use the pedal as a clean boost.
3. LEVEL: Sets the output volume of the pedal.
4. STARVE: Adds chop and grit to the tremolo effect, reducing the headroom of
the circuit when turned clockwise.
5. MODE: Selects the parameter controlled by playing dynamics. "S"
accelerates the tremolo with stronger playing, "D" decreases the depth with
stronger playing, and "OFF" disables dynamic control.
6. SENS: Sets the sensitivity of the selected parameter change.
7. RESP: An internal trimpot that sets the speed at which the parameter
changes with playing dynamics.
Additional Features:
- Extended Headroom: Up to 22V for enhanced performance.
- DualMode Switching: Converts the footswitch into momentary operation.
- Components: Utilizes 5% WIMA film capacitors, 1% metal film resistors, and
Cardas Audio ultra-pure, eutectic silver solder.
- P3 System: Phantom-power compatible.
