I was thinking it's just a coincidence, like the Moog stores in Canada that aren't related to the other Moog. We're excited to work with a store in Seattle and they seem very cool. They throw pedals around the store like those guys throw fish at that Seattle market... Seattle is so cool...

Just ordered mine this morning through humbucker music here on the east coast. Looks like Prymaxe went through their first 10 pretty damn fast. Looking forward to plugging it up for the first time. Will post some pics too once it's in place. Thanks Ryan and Tanya!!!


Thanks very much, we appreciate it! We'll be sending 20 Trems to Humbucker next week, love that store and Jake is such a great guy. Hope you dig the pedal!

Haha that's awesome! I'm with you there, that's the original Uncle Jesse for sure!

Love that pic and those kitties, that's great! Thanks again for being such a big part of the Tremolessence over-haul, Kev, much appreciated and I hope you get a kick out of the pedal! Hopefully the kitties are wrong and the bubble wrap isn't the most fun part of that package...

This is not your amateur tremolo pedal. Volume control, check; no worries that your volume drops when you turn on the pedal. Depth control, check; the depth goes to zero, complete silence, sweet. Rate control, check; rate ranges from 4 seconds (15bpm, measure with metronome, 4 seconds) into ringmod territory (inaudibly fast, i'll guess 1000bpm). The usable range of the knob is really good too. At jam yesterday I was comfortable fiddling from 10:00-3:00.
But i'm taking those three knobs for granted, this is the ULTIMATE Tremolessence ...
Things start getting interesting with the tone shaping options. Being able to change the duty cycle of the triangle and square waves can give you a huge pallet of wave shapes (ramp up, ramp down, pulses). Those wave shapes combined with the treble knob makes this the most versatile analog tremolo I've ever played or read about. This power in tremolo voicing is really something that puts others to shame. Too many other tremolo pedals only give you a single sweet voice, or give you no voice leaving the sound flat and symmetrical (you can shape your tone to be very dry if that is something that you do want). I've always like the voicing options with the RedWitch pentavocal, but the Tremolessence just really blows that away. I guess I just really like being in control and having the options.

so that's the beef of it imho. I don't know why it's taken me so long to get one of these little guys (yeah, they weren't on the market yet).
Oh! and there's the HOLD feature that's gonna make all future pedals designed seem archaic if they don't start using this great option on all designs. It sure beats having to use an expression pedal to fade in your effect (yeah you can do that too with this gem, and it works completely as expected... hahahahaah).
ryans got his bases covered.
i'm satiated. :snax:

by next week I'll have more to say
and i'll have fiddled more with the expression control and stereo funzies also packed in.
:!!!:

I am wondering the same thing, also do you know if and when Tonefactor will be getting the Tremolessence Ryan? I love my old school Tremolessence, really looking forward to the new unit!

My understanding is that only the blue sparkle is shipping at the moment.

A demo of the Elements on low gain in front of the Tremolessence would be great. :thumb:

I've never wanted a tremolo pedal more, so I ordered one from Humbucker. Are there any other U.S. retailers getting these?

Prymaxe is getting 10 of the blue sparkle ones and then 20 of the neon greens... I sure like that store, Cory is awesome, plus our ILF buds Veteransdaypoppy and Wizard work there.

First two batches went out to Axe And You Shall Receive and Analogue Haven, our biggest stores for 2010. More going out next week to American Guitar and Band, Prymaxe Vintage, Jet City Music, PedalGEEK, Global Vintage in AUS.

Hey guys, sorry I haven't been around as much this week!

The Trems are in stock now at Analogue Haven, Axe And You Shall Receive, Humbucker Music, and Ludlow Guitars and en route to Global Vintage.

This week we'll get orders out to American Guitar and Band for sure and I'm not sure who else but a couple/few more stores too. All these shipments are the blue sparkle box and the neon green box will be here in 2ish weeks I think.
