Delta-Trem Tube Tremolo

£369.00 – £439.00

The Delta-Trem™ authentically recreates the alluring, hypnotic tone and feel of ‘Bias’ and ‘Photocell’ vintage amp tremolos.

“…sounds bigger and deeper in a very tubey way compared to just about anything else you can step on.” – The ToneQuest Report

Brimar box“Brimarize” your pedal! The Delta-Trem can be purchased with either new JJ tubes or grade ‘A’ NOS (New Old Stock) Brimar tubes fitted. JJ tubes are excellent tubes, however the NOS Brimar tubes were manufactured in an era when tube expertise and materials were at their zenith—they’re truly exceptional in terms of quality and reliability. Further, the longer plate construction yields a smoother, fuller tone than modern tubes.

Description

The Delta-Trem™ authentically recreates the alluring, hypnotic tone and feel of vintage guitar amp tremolo in S-T-E-R-E-O! This is accomplished using vacuum tubes and an archaic, long forgotten electronic component known as a ‘Raysistor’, essentially a tiny filament lamp and photocell housed together in a small metal can. The combination of Raysistor and all-tube circuitry tube creates an exceptionally smooth, rich and musical tremolo effect that blends well with clean and overdriven guitar sounds. The true stereo signal path allows the Delta-Trem to operate as a mono tremolo with a single guitar amp or into two amps, where the sound ping-pongs between them creating a huge, 3-D, spacious tone.

The Delta-Trem’s incredibly versatile LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) can generate anything from a subtle shimmer to deep amplitude modulation (AM) for some good old Louisiana swamp blues. In fact, this pedal can faithfully reproduce the smooth, buttery pulse of the early Fender® ‘Brown’ Princeton amp or the deeper, more intense throb of the neon/photocell tremolo in Fender’s later ‘Blackface’ Deluxe and Twin Reverb amplifier models. Further, we’ve ironed out all the shortcomings associated these vintage amp tremolos: the Delta-Trem’s circuit operation is essentially noiseless with none of the audible “ticking” of photocell tremolo and there’s no danger of output stage tubes going into meltdown (“red-plating”) because of incorrect biasing.

FEATURES

  • Genuine Tube Circuitry: 100% vacuum tube and ‘Raysistor’ audio circuitry generates the tremolo effect. The tubes operate at real amp plate voltages at 300V, just like in a vintage tube amp!
  • Smooth and Deep Tremolo: LFO with advanced pulse shaping capability can accurately replicate either smooth ‘Bias’ or more intense, choppy ‘Photocell’ tremolo effects.
  • True S-T-E-R-E-O: When “linked the signal ping-pongs between left and right outputs, or the two tremolos can be split for independent operation were left and right channels drift in and out of phase.
  • ‘Dakaware’ Knobs: Authentic bakelite ‘Dakaware’, Chicago 1510 knobs custom manufactured for Effectrode in the U.S.A using the original 1940s moulds.
  • Turquoise LEDs pulsate with modulation speed for visual song tempo matching.
  • Includes 12V Wall-wart Power Supply High quality low-noise switched mode 12VDC at 1.5A wall-wart compatible with all our pedals. Accepts 100V to 240VAC mains input and comes with different mains outlet adaptor plugs, so there is always a plug that fits the country that you are playing in.

    Hi Phil and Sam,
    Well my Effectrode love just keeps growing! My Delta-trem is exactly what I was hoping for! I love the overall tone and the different rhythmic options available with the shape, depth and rhythm knobs maxed out! This is one groovy pedal that will never leave my board!
    Keep up the great work guys 🙂
    Cheers
    Dan

    I hope you and Phil are doing great. First off, I wanted to inform you that I absolutely love the fidelity of the latest Delta-Trem (Brimar) DT-2A. It has made itself a permanent spot on my pedal board alongside the two Blackbird SR-71 Preamps powering my stereo amp setup. The sound quality is beyond compare. I am still trying to figure out how to use all of the advanced options lurking within the DT-2A.

    Hi Sam, I just want to quickly send my gratitude for the Delta-Trem and say unequivocally, it is the finest tremolo I have ever encountered. Thank you and Phil so very kindly for this work of art! This was my fifth purchase and I cannot wait for my next!

    Greetings from California.

    It’s amazing how the most simple, yet complex, Effectrode ‘stomp box’ will let you touch the electrifying infinite tone one has been yearning for.

    Phil, you have knocked it for six once again. THANK YOU for your Genius! Tone Meister!

    The Effectrode Delta Trem has to be one of the most incredible, versatile, low noise, no tick whatsoever, hark back to the days of the origins and sound of electric guitar.

    For years I have modded my trem circuit in my Fender Deluxe Reverbs, tried numerous pedals searching for the pulse and waited very patiently for the day when I could own the Delta Trem.

    Yesterday it arrived.

    WOW. I have spent 6 hours with the pedal now at the end of my pedal chain, into my handwired 64 Fender Deluxe Reverb, modded by amp guru Alessandro, into Celestion Blue.

    Match made in Heaven.

    You rock

  6. Lenny Terenzi - Hell Camino, U.S.A. 30th November -0001

    Absolute perfection to my ears. Just the most rich, delicious swirl I have ever heard. I was waiting for “the one” and it actually rendered my speechless when I heard it throbbing out of my amp. The tone was huge but yet perfectly seated within my sound. It just sounded – right. It ain’t cheap but you get what you pay for. I play blues, roots and vintage soul music and this cannot be beat. Swampy throb, to a stage shakin’ stutter. In a sentence this pedal makes me want to play guitar more than I did before I owned it.

  7. Kevin Kadish - U.S.A. 30th November -0001

    So, I got my Delta-Trem yesterday… Dude, I love it!!!! Even as a tube boost it sounds great! The tone is stellar!!!!

  8. Ricardo Wheelock - U.S.A. 1st January 2010

    I recently bought two Effectrode pedals: a Tube Drive and a Delta-Trem. I tried both pedals today and I simply couldn’t be more happy!! I love their vibe!!!

  9. Mark Filip - Great Britain 1st May 2010

    Thanks for the prompt shipping. I received it and its a great unit, sounds lovely like my Vibra Chorus. Just ran my Moog into it and it works really nicely.

  10. Vicente Muñoz - Spain 1st May 2010

    Brilliant pedal. Best tremolo I have ever played, no doubt. It’s the most musical I’ve heard, can’t turn it off. No matter what setting it’s in, it’s beautiful. I’ve tried lots of pedals searching for the tremolo in my head and this is it. Genius.

  11. Ed Oleszko - Great Britain 1st June 2010

    This tremolo pedal far surpasses any other Tremolo effect I’ve ever used and really nails that vintage amp trem sound, it even makes my sometimes clinical sounding ‘modern’ amps sound like like the smooth buttery vintage models – excellent!!! I also must say that I’m loving the sound of the Delta-Trem with the depth all the way down which adds a lovely little warm boost – this boost sound alone is gorgeous mate then add on top the fantastic tremolo – stunning!!

  12. Dave Ponte - U.S.A. 1st June 2010

    I am a player of 20+ years , and have to say that the quality, reliability, and tone of your Tube-Vibe and Delta-Trem is nothing short of AMAZING!!!! I have been wishing for a Tube Delay pedal ever since you boys hit the market, as a matter of fact I actually requested it to you when you first opened up shop. You couldn’t ask for a better co-creator then Steve Rothery for the Tube Delay/Echo, so please, please put me on whatever list there will be to receive the first one’s made. I will be waiting very patiently until then. Thanks Again for the tone.

  13. Todd - Vancouver 1st August 2010

    This is an incredible tremolo; the absolute best I’ve ever heard in a vintage amp or otherwise. Worth every cent. But it is more than just a tremolo effect; it adds warmth and makes harmonics literally jump from my amps. When I’m not using the tremolo effect, I usually have the pedal engaged with the DEPTH knob fully anti-clockwise. This warms up even my most sterile amps and makes them chime like never before. No other boost/overdrive pedal I own even comes close to this. I have several high-end amps (Mesa(s), Dr. Z(s), Swart, Marshall) and the Delta-Trem really accentuates the harmonic content and warms up the front end on all of them.

  14. Sam Lee 1st December 2010

    The pedal sounds wonderful. I’m very pleased with it after much disappointment with other trem pedals. Thanks for putting out such a great product. I’m looking forward to exploring all the tonal options!

  15. Tim 1st January 2011

    I used the Tube Tremolo you built on my last recording with great results, ping-pong feature, which is absent in nearly every tremolo pedal I was considering came in very handy, thanks! Happy New Year.

  16. Martyn Pratt - U.S.A. 30th November -0001

    It was delivered yesterday and the baritone ‘lows’ came through beautifully. As I hoped, the Delta-Trem seems to be the best effect for this Tele baritone sound. Amazing job! My bandmates will surely be pleased.

  17. Steven Byrne 30th November -0001

    Got the tube in the post – thanks a million. I also managed to get my hands on a G.E. 5751 which has actually done the job perfectly, and I am using the 12at7 as a lovely subtle boost with the depth all the way down – sounds amazing. It’s a bit like having two pedals in one now, trem and boost, depending on which output I’m using. Using it with my old narrow panel Champ, sounds very 3-D and full, best pedal I have ever played!

  18. Robert Kemp - Great Britain 1st March 2011

    Well… I’m so pleased am I with the Delta-Trem that I’ve now bought
    the Phaseomatic and Tube-Vibe from your E-bay shop.

  19. Jime Hinkle 1st April 2012

    I use the Delta-trem instead of my trem unit on my Super Reverb as it is far more dependable.

  20. Greg Smith - U.S.A. 1st February 2013

    I recently picked up a used DT-1A and am just blown away by how great it sounds, especially used in stereo. It’s so hypnotic. This is one of the best sounding effects I’ve ever heard and by far the best tremolo.

  21. Greg Smith - U.S.A. 1st June 2013

    I think I am on the waitlist for the new version of the Delta-Trem. I have the original version and absolutely love it. It’s one of my all-time favorite effects – a little tricky getting used to the controls, but the sound is phenomenal, especially in stereo.

  22. Todd Tepper 1st December 2013

    I have an older Delta-Trem that I love to death. It seems to give the signal the perfect boost or chime, even when the effect is turned all of the way down. Is this how you buffer the signal in the Delta? I feel strange about using it as a boost this way but it really gives the signal a chimey, bell like clean tone that I cannot get with my other boosts.

  23. Jeremy Horst - U.S.A. 1st November 2014

    I am an engineer in Chicago, Illinois. I have a Delta-Trem pedal (purchased on 2010 and containing the original tubes as supplied by Effectrode) that is used in a signal chain for recording guitar direct to tape via a Toft mixing console (no guitar amplifier). Having experimented with various processors and preamps in this signal path, I have found that using the Delta-Trem is crucial to achieving a convincing guitar tone in this direct recording setup. However, the best results have been produced using the Delta-Trem with the tremolo effect intensity turned all the way down, thereby using the pedal exclusively as a presence boost pedal.

  24. Joe Caruso - U.S.A. 1st May 2015

    All of us guitarists are very lucky that you put such so much love into your work! I always feel it a privilege to own and have your incredibly musical labors of love here on my boards. Now with that said, I was hoping that you might multi-task and finish the Lux and Delay too ???? Thank you for all you hard work! I hope I speak for all Effectrodians when I say – we appreciate your amazing vision, skill and hard work!

These two audio tools do essentially the same job These two audio tools do essentially the same job—compress (level out the dynamics) your guitar signal using class-A vacuum tube electronics and photocells. However, the Leveling Amplifier has a few extra bells and whistles up it's sleeves. It was primarily designed following requests from sound engineers and musicians for a four knob version of our PC-2A photo-optical tube compressor to include 'attack' and 'knee' knobs. We took this on board but, being engineers, we also added several other really cool features including balanced transformer isolated output, gain pad, tube boost, dynamic equaliser and parallel tube input stage (4 triode tube gain stages in parallel) for hyper-quiet operation.#effectrode #PC-2A #compressor #compressorpedal #levelingamplifier #tubeeffects #guitarpedals #guitarfx #effectspedals #guitar #pedalboard #guitareffects  #guitargear #guitarist #knowyourtone #guitarpedal #stompbox #guitarplayer #geartalk #fxpedals #guitars #electricguitar #pedalboards #guitare #guitarra #chitarra
