Tremolo Effects for the Electric Guitar
My name is Gary Schutt. We’re talking about guitar effects, right now it’s an effect called the tremolo, and I will be using my Barrage V Amp to demonstrate this and some distortion. A tremolo takes your signal and adds various dips in volume and you can alter the speed on it, you can alter the depth of the volume dip. So let’s turn up the effects mix and let’s see what happens. You can hear the signal kind of dipping in volume a little bit, if we turn it all the way up, it will go from full on to full off. Change the speed of it, really slow or faster.
