Dreadbox Treminator

TREMINATOR
Analog Tremolo

The TREMINATOR brings the power of a Voltage Controlled Amplifier (VCA) from synthesizers into a highly expressive tremolo effect pedal. Combining a wide-range LFO (20 seconds to 220Hz) with two envelope generators for dynamic control, TREMINATOR allows for intricate modulation and evolving tremolo effects.

At the heart of every synthesizer lies the VCA—the final stage where raw, unfiltered sound bursts to life. TREMINATOR taps into this core, offering a deep dive into evolving, dynamic soundscapes, where every pulse becomes a part of your performance—alive, breathing, and constantly shifting. It’s not just an effect—it’s an experience.
