The Supro Tremolo is an analog stompbox designed to recreate two of the most desirable vacuum tube based modulation effects found in American amplifiers of the 1960’s.
■ Effects for guitar
■ Tremolo
The Supro Tremolo pedal’s AMPLITUDE / HARMONIC switch allows the musician to choose between these distinctly different, vintage effects. AMPLITUDE mode provides the traditional swampy, tremolo sounds generated by bias modulating the power tubes in the original Supro amps. HARMONIC mode provides the psychedelic tones of Leo Fender’s brownface and blonde amps from the early 60’s. We’ve implemented Leo’s unique “harmonic tremolo” effect within the output stage of the pedal to create an “amp-like” modulation experience.
The Supro Tremolo pedal features pre-amp and power amp sections, with an actual output transformer deployed to recreate the magnetic saturation and coloration of the original vacuum tube based effects found in these historic amps. Along with the standard modulation controls for speed and depth, the Supro Tremolo also features a gain circuit that allows the musician to overdrive the output stage, right where the modulation effects are created. The GAIN control sets the amount of “preamp” gain in the pedal. As you turn the gain up, the “power amp” circuit will gradually be pushed into overdrive. This control gives you a wide range of sounds from clean to grind, with magnetic saturation occurring as the power section is pushed into overdrive. As you crank up the gain, the overall output level of the Supro Tremolo is automatically compensated in order to maintain consistent signal level. This allows the musician to use the GAIN control to alter the texture of the modulation effects without an overwhelming increase in audio output level.
SPEED and DEPTH controls determine the rate and amount of modulation present in the effect. An industry-standard TRS expression pedal can be used to control the speed of the Supro tremolo. When an expression pedal is in use, the on-board SPEED knob is used to set the maximum value. The rate of modulation is indicated by the pulsing LED status indicator. All Supro pedals are assembled in Port Jefferson, NY, USA, featuring custom-tooled, anodized, brushed-aluminum enclosures, 9V battery or DC powered operation, rear-mounted metal jacks, easy-access side-mounted battery drawer and studio-friendly, noiseless (click-free) true-bypass switching.

スタッフレビュー
エフェクターって音が大事なのは大前提として、足元に置いてテンションが上がるかどうかって非常に大事なポイントだと思うんです。SUPROのエフェクターは、音が良い事はもちろんですが、個人的にはこの見た目が好きです。アノダイズド処理された筺体による独特の光の反射具合や、ひんやりとした質感、それぞれのPOPながら高級感のあるカラーリング・・・本当にかっこいいです。特にTremoloは、効果のスピードに合わせてON/OFFインジケーターが点滅する為、一目で効果の状態を把握できるだけでなく、ただ点滅しているというその事実だけでも、白飯2杯は食べれそうなぐらいかっこいいです。見た目の話が続きましたが、音の良さは言わずもがなで、2つのキャラクターの違いが明確な上、GAINツマミによって音の質感を調整できる為、音作りもしやすいです。それぞれのキャラの違いは上記の商品説明と動画で確認をしていただけますが、個人的には中でもHARMONICモードでのモジュレーション感もプラスされたトレモロ効果が好みです。どちらが好みの効果か、是非チェックしてみてください。
