TREMOLO Tremolo casts a spell on the guitar sound

- A deep dive into the tremolo pedal, the oldest of all pedal effects
- Takaaki Mino (toe) checks out the sound of vintage tremolos
- A look at how tremolos are used, from the standard to the modern
- A disc guide featuring classic albums that showcase the "tremolo sound."

The tremolo is one of the most unassuming pedal effectors. However, it is also the pedal with the longest history. The original model was released in 1946, which means that the tremolo has a history of nearly 80 years. The tremolo was born long before the fuzz, which is synonymous with vintage pedals. I think that no one would be surprised to learn this fact.
　In this issue of the Effects Pedal Book, we will be taking a close look at the history and appeal of the tremolo, which could be called "the oldest pedal in human history." As usual, we will be analyzing the potential of the tremolo from a variety of perspectives, including "tremolo trials by professional guitarists", "interviews with famous builders", and "advice from experts". The tremolo is an indispensable spice in genres such as R&B, neo-soul, and American roots rock, where the "persuasiveness of the tone" determines whether a song is good or bad. In genres where the "persuasive power of tone" determines whether a song is good or bad, such as R&B, neo-soul, and American roots rock, we will unravel the "magic of tremolo," which adds sexiness and gloss to the guitar sound, which has become indispensable.
