Tremolo & Vibrato Pedals

Tremolo varies amplitude, making volume rise and fall; vibrato varies pitch, making the note move sharp and flat. Some circuits combine both or derive them from modulation systems that blur the boundary. Rate, depth, waveform and stereo phase determine whether the motion is smooth, pulsing, choppy, seasick or spatial, while tap tempo can lock the cycle to a rhythm.
