My first Dr. Scientist Pedal

Oh, my package has finally arrived from Canada. Inside a lovely little green tremolo. My favorite type of effect! Currently I have two tremolo's on board a Pigtronix Tremvelope and a Lightfoot Labs Goatkeeper. Too much trem? Nah, the TREMOLESSENCE fits right in with its brothers in trem. This rate knob in conjunction with the shape knob give this tremolo a lot of versatilely. I was shaping waves all evening, woke up and shaped some more. Pulses to patterns, pretty neat. This rate knob is so super sensitive, it goes so super fast. This high speed rate makes a pretty neat sound when I placed it after the reverb, yup after reverb. Choppy squares teamed up with the goatkeeper's choppy squares, to make some glitchy bleeps, that sound funky when I turn on that pedal in my avatar. Oh, Volume and Treble control, THANK YOU for that! I'm gonna make a video, even though I've been out played by some extremely nice demo videos already. I just need some TRS cables to split that signal to two amps. I want to hit that "don't panic" button inside!!

So, I ramble and such, what I am trying to say: "Ryan, this here is a very fine tremolo."

Good review. :thumb:

not much of a review, I'm just excitable. I wanted to let the doctor know there is a nice dash of awesome sauce in here.

You have three very versatile tremolos...I don't know what I'd do. I'd probably figure out a way to have the tremolos overlap so that the guitar is muted the entire time...

You can play John Cage "4'33" with this setup.

So you're saying that the easiest solution to my Goatkeeper or Tremolessence dilemma, get both, is perfectly acceptable. Looking forward to that video.

:excellent:

I know, I know this really isn't the best video, I spent all of two minutes on it. But gives you an idea of trem stacking. It some what rids you of that straight rhythms, gives you a glitchy feel. Which you can play around with a lot to get some more interesting sounds then I presented here.
I'm still working it out. adding delay and reverb is cool too. But I think I need to put the trems before the delay. anyway, that goatkeeper is pretty nice to control the delay time via the LFO out.

Or... controlling the rate of the Tremolessence (wacky effect). :!!!:

If your not into weird noise, I'd say this might be overkill. I am so its not.

Trem is the new delay which was the new fuzz; multiples of everything! I like it. :!!!:

You have 3 trems, you can go trem -> delay -> trem -> reverb -> trem. Or mix that up in any number of delicious combinations. Certainly gives you a shit ton of options. Then you throw all of that into a feedback loop. Yummy.

Also Ryan, when will you do a new finish on the Tremolessence and what will it be?

oh hi!

I like this avatar more james.

Thanks for the review and demo video, Charlie, it's great! Man, you are the master of tremolo!

I've got a GK too and I love it, the coolest digital tremolo pedal ever and Austin is a good buddy of mine, he helped me a lot with my soft touch switching programming.

We'll have a new Trem finish in just a couple weeks or so I think.. we're doing another throw-back design for this next one, it's a brown box with cream and beige waveforms and text, a classic Tremolessence finish.

...and you have an empress tremolo, which I saw in the other thread. Also a cool tremolo.

If I had two wishes for the GK, rate knob and some way to make the ramp down a little less harsh (more like the tremolessence).

That new finish sounds like a root beer float!! way cool... :drool:

Also, wouldn't it be neat to have a tremolo that could stack LFOs, kinda like the GK but instead of a sequence they all go at the same time, all at different rates. All out time with each other (kinda like my little thing up there). oh, and random shapes! But the market for that just might be me, so it might not be very profitable

Very true, Charlie, the Empress Tremolo is awesome!

Your stacked LFO is kinda like a random LFO idea, hey? I think that's what it would sound like, random... cool GK setting, right?
