RE: whats the effect, kenneth? (OT)



in that the amplitude modulation in the vox circuit is so extreme that is
virtually cuts the signal to zero in the deepest setting. what you get is
that very on/off wobbly sound (which btw was used in combination with a
noise gate by johnny marr to get his trademark stutter). i have a demeter
tremulator pedal in addition to a de-cbs'ed super twin w/ a blackface trem
circuit,
and neither of these trems do the stutter like the vox. i don't know what's
out there in tremelo-modelling land these days, but i would think someone
would have taken the time to digitally cop this classic effect by now.


** you could check out the fulltone supatrem. it has both hard and soft
waves (i guess square and saw?). the hard gets a pretty cool gating sound .
. . and you can mix the effect versus straight signal. 

the (allegedly) soon-to-be-released mm4 from line6 is supposed to have a
trem based on the vox trems . . . 

i don't know the sound that's being discussed, so i don't know if the
supatrem would do - - it may be worth investigating tho', it is akiller
trem.
