Cool
Cat
The Cool Cat Tremolo is a classic reborn, recreating one of the first
electric guitar effects from the 50’s with a modern twist.
CONTROLS:
DEPTH: Controls the intensity of the Tremolo in Soft mode,
from minimum (fully counter-clockwise) to maximum (fully
clockwise). When the Hard /Soft control is set to Hard, the Depth
control is disabled.
HARD / SOFT: This rotary switch has two positions, Hard and
Soft, and it effects the shape of the tremolo’s modulation. Soft is
the sound of a traditional tube amp tremolo, characterized by a
gentle, rounded rise and fall of your guitar’s volume. Hard is more
abrupt – the rise and fall is replaced by more of an on / off motion.
Selecting Hard disables the Depth control.
SPEED: This controls the speed of the Tremolo, from minimum
(fully counter-clockwise) to maximum (fully clockwise). The
Speed control will have no effect unless the Depth control is set
higher than minimum (off), or the Hard / Soft control is set to
Hard.
BYPASS: The true bypass footswitch engages and disengages
the pedal.
SAMPLE SETTINGS: (Remember, these are only starting
points.)
