Effectrode Delta-Trem: Full Feature Overview

As you'll know, I'm a huge fan of tube-based effects, and Effectrode is right at the top of my list when it comes to the finest glassware-touting stompboxes around. A few months ago I demoed the incredible Phase-O-Matic Deluxe - and today, we'll be looking at the tremolo version of that concept...the legendary Delta-Trem! A fully stereo (as in, in AND out) effect, you can completely configure the DT to be whatever sort of trem you'd like. If you 'just' want the thickest, most gorgeous mono sine-wave trem you've ever heard, it'll do that. But if you'd like left & right configured completely differently - with different speeds, waveforms, rhythmic patterns and depths - it's equally at home crafting some of the most out-there choppiness you've ever heard. Just remove the jumper connection on the circuit board, hold down the Tap/Sync switch, and you're away! Both sides are driven by a 12AU7 tube running at proper high voltage, so this really is the best trem pedal I've ever played for recreating that amp-like, soupy throb. It's an absolutely stunning box of inspiration. What do you think? The most warm, organic trem pedal you can buy? Or not for you? Comment below! Guitar is a Fender Strat w/ Fralin Real '54 pickups, played through a Vajra JTM45 clone and H&K Puretone.
