Diffractor SoundingsArboretum Tremolo Pedal

Diffractor Soundings Arboretum

In the first offering from Diffractor Soundings, the Arboretum Tremolo is a stereo tremolo effect pedal capable of everything from classic tremolo sounds to chaotically shifting stereo modulation. The pedal's righthand section is a classic analog tremolo with familiar functionality for adjusting speed, depth, and volume of the effect. On the left side, a powerful meta-modulating "Mode" section utilizes an additional LFO to automate tremolo speed and depth. This additional layer of modulation, in addition to robust expression pedal and CV connectivity, make for a wonderfully inventive and lush sounding effect ripe for sonic experimentation.

At the core of each of Arboretum's two sections are digital LFOs, which unlock expressive and unique waveshapes to modulate the otherwise 100% analog signal path. The digital design also brings us a multiplier control, which sets the rate of the tremolo LFO as a multiplication or division of the tremolo speed setting. Finding even simple settings for the tremolo effect and then modulating them with the Mode control elicits shifting textures spread across a stereo field, perfect for subtle widening techniques and experimental freakouts alike. Whatever your amplitude-modulating needs, the Arboretum from Diffractor Soundings provides the ultimate canvas for creating inspiring tremolo textures.
