TRM-1
Tremulator • A
hybrid of vintage sound and state-of-the-art quality, the Demeter Tremulator
is designed for years of trouble-free operation. Designed to emulate the
classic Fender tremolo effect (or vibrato as it is often referred to),
the Tremulator features "lopsided" amplitude modulation with
a rounded off triangular modulate waveform. Suffice it to say, the Tremulator
sounds like the classic effect found on many vintage amps, but with less
noise and hum and a greater range of speeds and depths.
Operation is fairly straightforward. There are two inputs
on the front side of the unit: a 1/4" input jack on the right and
a 1/4" output jack on the left with a battery-ground switch on the
input jack.
Controls There are two controls on the unit: Depth and
Speed, plus a footswitch to bypass the effect, and an LED to indicate effect
operation. Depth affects the amount of amplitude modulation on the signal
or the amount of effect. The tremulator design incorporates a small amount
of gain (approx. 1dB) to allow for proper "tremulation." Also,
by turning the DEPTH all the way off, the TRM-1 will function as a low
noise volume boost. It's low-impedance output allows it to act as a line-drive,
eliminating signal loss on long cable runs. Speed increases and decreases
the frequency of the low-frequency oscillator, enabling you to time the
effect as desired.
