The DGT is the result of more than 20 years of collaboration between Paul Reed Smith and David Grissom. The guitar is based on the McCarty platform with a unique DGT neck shape, taller frets, special pickups, and a revised control layout. Grissom and Paul spent a year A/B-ing more than forty sets of pickups before nailing the vintage-voice of DGT humbuckers. When paired with individual volume controls for each pickup and a push/pull master tone control that operates the coil taps, these DGT pickups provide superb versatility and articulation.

“The DGT is a product a lot of miles down the road: a lot of gigs, a lot of records. It’s like picking up a vintage guitar. It sounds like a vintage guitar, and out of the box it’s ready to go. There’s a whole lot of thought gone into this. The DGT is pretty perfect to me.” — David Grissom

Tremolo Pedals

Tremolo pedals rhythmically raise and lower your guitar volume, creating a pulsing effect that has been used on countless classic recordings. It can be smooth and vintage, sharp and choppy, or synced to a song’s tempo for more modern rhythmic movement.

Tremolo works beautifully with clean chords, surf tones, blues, indie, cinematic parts and atmospheric playing. It is a simple effect in principle, but the right tremolo pedal can add life, motion and a strong sense of groove to otherwise static parts.

Tremolo

Tremolo pedals and related effects are commonly used by guitarists looking to shape their tone in a more focused and creative way. Different designs offer their own response, feel and tonal character depending on the style of music and the type of amplifier or guitar being used.

Many players build pedalboards gradually over time, combining different effects and utilities to create a setup that suits their own sound and workflow. Tremolo related gear can play an important role in both live performance and studio recording.
