Harmonic Tremolo separates your signal into separate bass and treble and alternately pulses the volume of each, so, as the volume of the treble is fading out, the volume of the bass is fading in, and as the bass fades out , the treble fades in, etc.. I once saw a demo of a prototype guitar that had a mechanism that alternately faded the volume of the neck and bridge pickups in and out, and it produced the same effect.
That's a great explanation. Thank you.
Bro, I was telling my dad the other day my favorite living guitar players. Eric Clapton, Chris Buck and Doyle Bramhall ll. He said, “who’s Chris Buck?” I said it’s this dude from Wales on UA-cam. :)
Keep killing it brotha!
Thank you so much Mike 🙂
That solo was nuts. Tasteful!!!!
Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh. I'm bout to flip my desk & run down the street screaming. That intro got a like immediately!
i realize Im kinda off topic but does anybody know a good place to watch new tv shows online?
@Jimmy Layne I watch on Flixzone. You can find it on google :)
@Grady Cody yup, been using Flixzone for since march myself :D
@Grady Cody thank you, I went there and it seems to work :) I really appreciate it !!
@Jimmy Layne no problem =)
I hadn't really heard of harmonic trem until I got a Strymon Flint a few months back. Since then I find myself jamming with it daily... What a sound!
The intro wow'ed me like I haven't been wow'ed on youtube for a while. Thank you :)
I’m not a big tremolo guy but this demo got me wanting one. Well done.
I built all my playing around tremolo and my amp's reverb. It's my all time favourite effect. Get one, and enjoy ;)
This is my favorite pedal and its not close. The gain sound alone is phenomenal.
Do you think it could be used after an overdrive as an extra gain stage with tremolo effect either off or extremely subtle?
Mate - holy shit ... if this wasn’t inspiring, I just don’t know nothing ... your playing is out of this world !
Damn .... I've been avoiding it for almost 40 odd Years but I may need to invest my 10,000 hours ... your sounds are awesome Mr. Thank you - Chris
After hearing this intro I immediately pick up my guitar and throw it through the window... goddamnit that was beautiful
“I’m gonna play you out now”. This gets me every time. My man
This channel deserves waaaay more subs
sick intro song could be the theme song of a spaghetti western
Lovely pedal. Has more definition than the Flint but I can't live without the reverb on it which is superb. If you've already got reverb this would be the one to go for with the harmonic option sounding excellent.
That intro...Geez, dude, that was amazing.
Absolutely the best trem you can get. It’s so lush
Great sounding pedal. Love Chris' playing. That ending in the intro is simply epic.
You nailed it too!
My man! Such amazing playing. Your style of playing is right up my alley. You are such an inspiration
Just another pedal demo? Nope, it's a work of art. Chris your music is beautiful
Never mind the pedal. That intro?! Sublime.
I've always said that fame and success isn't about being the best at something, it's about being in the right place at the right time. Chris Buck's guitar artistry is beyond the majority of guitarist that are famous for their craft.. but that doesn't just magically put people on the market.
Someone needs to get this guy a stadium to fill.
This trem sounds quite a bit like a Vibe. Phazy goodness. Great playing!
Had a ‘61 Tremolux. First year they did the head and cabinet. 1 x 10” speaker in a closed back cabinet with a tone ring. Speaker had blown before I had it, and had been replaced with a 12”. 18 watts of magic. Blonde Tolex Oxblood grill...😓 very special sounding amp. It had tremolo to die for.
Used it to finance a gigging bass, and bass amp rig. Really miss that amp! Every time I hear these pedals makes me think of it.
Those blonde tremolux’s didn’t have “Harmonic Tremolo” but it sounded great
Incredible playing! I have owned this pedal for a year. I got it primarily to get some Supro tones due to the preamp portion of the pedal. Then I discovered how I love the tremolo tones. For some fun I’ll run the Supro with delay and a univibe. This pedal is by far one of my fave and most used pedals.
Hauntingly beautiful intro, Chris. Every single time, my man. Outstanding skills. Bring it to the states. We would die to hear you guys live!!
Beautiful sound and great playing; thanks : D
Great playing as always. Been looking at this pedal myself...
Dr/\gonfly just be advised that this pedal changes your tone noticeably when turned off/on. It’s not a subtle change. See Pete Thorn’s demo on this pedal (he showcases this change in the first bit of the video). It’s like an overdrive kicking in with mild gain boost. FYI
Rich Osburn Good to know. I’ll have to put it in a loop on a switcher. Thanks for the tip.
Rich Osburn Good point but that’s only if the gain knob is turned up at all - if you set the gain at zero like I had in this video (as opposed to 4 as in Pete’s) it’s pretty ‘transparent’ in terms of volume jumps etc. It’s only when the gain’s increased that you’ll hear a noticeable change to your level 🙂
Buck And Evans did you ever compare this pedal to the walrus monument ? I can’t try either pedal ... curious if you have
Nice... I really like mine from EarthQuaker D., the "Night Wire" it has a cool feature, Attack mode, the tremolo speed responds to your playing and then slows down as it trails off.
I still come back almost every month just to listen to the intro multiple times in a row
That intro was spicy 🔥
I have it tube driven in my brownface fender. Its a lovely tremolo
Cawfee Dawg I don’t have a brownface but I do have a Deluxe Reverb. There’s nothing like Fender Vibrato/Trem.
Awesome playing, great tone and clean timing. Well done
This kid is one of my favourite guitarists
Love your playing - it's trem-endous
Haha. Cheers!
Nice ambient tone! Thanks for the info.
Lovely demo. Terrific range with that trem.
Hey man,
I passed by to pickup some ideas on how to use the tremolo.
I almost cried with your intro, so good. What a feeling, Thank you!
Andre
Such great playing and tone as usual. Pedal sounds good too👍
Beautiful effect. Inspiring playing.
Beautiful sounds! Gorgeous guitar work! Thank you!
Inspiring playing! Cheers Mate! From the good ol' U.S. of A.
I love that sound. I have a chorus pedal that has a similar sound, but that sounds great. Keep that up.
So .. freeking .. smooth. ! SICK playing bro 👌
I just bought this pedal while watching this video. Had you not reviewed the Supro I would not found your channel. I subbed immediately. Thanks so much.
Only in the last five years or so have I been dominantly finger picking; it's resolved many persistent tech issues that I've long felt troubled by,- total game changer. The pick still has it's place, but the doors opened by this and the (steel) slide....feel like I've been swimming against the current for no good reason.Beautiful playing on an outstanding pedal.
Lovely melody and phrasing, Chris! 🤗It sounds both familiar and original, an excellent little comp and jam.
I love harmonic tremolo - I just picked up an Earthquaker Devices 'Nite Wire', not quite as sweet --sounding as the Supro, but more versatile for finding your own special sound with it. Who doesn't love tinkering with a new pedal and finding inspiration!🤩
Beautiful playing, great sounding pedal. Thanks for sharing
Damn!! What an amazing intro.
Inspired playing as always! Sounds so full and lush. I bought this pedal a few years ago - absolutely love it though it can be a bit noisy.
I dont suppose you've ever found a way to reduce the unwanted noise?
None of the review videos ive seen have sounded too noisy but i find it almost unusable.
Lovely as usual!! I wanna hear your new beast mate!!!! It looks beautiful.
Either next week or the week after ☺️
In the beginning, I thought there was only one type of tremolo (optical). Liked it but I found it not versatile enough to gain a place in my very small pedalboard. Then, I found out about the brown amp tremolo after listening to Chris Stapleton. That's it! I like that! Fast forward to only a few hours ago I realised that Fender used TWO different tremolo circuits in those brown amps, bias trem in the smaller amps and harmonic in the larger, more expensive amps! What a revelation! Love all three but I must admit that if I had to put them in order of preference it would be: bias (as always on type of thing), harmonic (for those Hendrixy moments) and optical (Monster era REM anyone?). In other words, swampy, phasey and choppy. Now the 3 modes in the Flint pedal make perfect sense.
I have ordered Mr Black's Mini Tremolo as it offers both bias tremolo as well as harmonic in a neat little package. Reminds me of an old DOD Vibrathang that I used and played a few decades ago. I'm starting to understand the whole tremolo thing much better now. Cheers!
Man, amazing playing. Inspired!
Strymon Flint had this some years ago. Gotta say that Supro box sunds GREAT though
I will tell you what's inspiring. Your playing m8.
I was looking into tremolo’s recently. This one is coming on my board!
Dude, this guy and Mateus Asato. Give em their own show! It would rule the internet. All the good looks and good licks in one room.
That's what she said....
Cheers for the review man, love this pedal - one day.
Nice one, Chris. The pedal sounds great. It costs about £170. The JHS one is about £100. One of these units would happily replace the phaser on one of my boards. Hmmm...
Inspiring stuff, there were some particular changes in the end piece over which I thought some soulful vocals from Sally would sound just perfect. I could just hear the track taking shape. Oh man, you bloody nail it every time!
That Pedal is truly amazing but it wouldn't sound half as good without your fretboard wizardry. You are a phenomenal Musician.
The intro got me in the feels..❤️
That's a great sound
Looking sky high heck yeah bro
Ive gotta say, this is just incredible. Its like a phaser, but more of an eq sweep than anything. Wonder if theres a similar sort of vibe you could get by rocking a wah pedal very slightly. Right about one thing though: its very inspiring! Inspires me to put a hole in my bank account 😂
I could listen to this all day!
Phantastic guitar playing with great sound and superb tone!!!!
Great demo, thanks!
God dam that tone!
Cheers Chris, flipping lovely stuff. Hard not to make ooo waa ooo waa mouth shapes while listening, might be just me. :)
Simply spectacular. I Love to Trem a Verb with trails
I wanted that intro to just never stop
Your playing is superb. I'm subbing immediately.
That Peter honore lick is always so good
Haha. What lick is that?!
Amazing playing!!! I just received this pedal and have felt super inspired by the tones. Your outro for a minute reminded me of Des'ree's- I'm Kissing You ...based on some of the chords and because she's got such a pronounced vibrato in her voice that basically is a tremolo! Now I've got a song to learn :)
Haha - I just got a Harmonious Monk last week so I DO TOO HAVE ONE! Wonderful playing!
That intro was tasty, man. Great review.
Great playing/demo Chris...wish I'd seen it before I bought an Orange Tremlord tho..😁🍊✌️❤️✊🏴
Whoaa I can’t stop listening to this. Besides of the intro being so beautifull also what ur doing at 3:34 is awesome. I’ll order this pedal today, no other tremolo sound is coming close at the moment.
Hey man, I just stumbled across this video on my feed. Great stuff dude! Thank you. Really, really, nice playing!!! I’ll be watching more for sure!!! Thank you from a hot & humid “AF” morning in North Carolina!!! 🎸
Excellent playing.
Amazing as ever
Sounds like my vibroverb ‘63 reissue. Sweeeet
Awsome playing and sound
Beautiful tone!
Beautiful playing as usual, and you did a great job of explaining the difference between this pedal and ordinary Trem pedals; this one seems way deeper to me; lots of information coming out.
Chris,awesome sounds bro \m/
love mine !
Nice emotional expression up in there. Well done mate!
What about your Reverb Chris ??? It is lovely!
Got one of those myself this week! Love it!
What more needs to be said about it other than you and Joey Landreth are using it?
Harmonic trem is fantastic, especially when you step off the edge into world into a Fender brownface Super amps
That intro 🤩
Waiting for my Quaverato Harmonic Tremolo Pedal build kit to arrive. very cool pedal!
itsa a joy just to watch/listen to your guitar relation, immersion. thanks.
Awesome playing!
was looking for a new trem pedal and this just sold me straight up. also subbed, you’re a really great player dude!! cool that you’re from wales too. i’m american but have some welsh ancestry 🏴
Hi Chris, I don't know how I missed this video, but what an amazing sound. Tremolo is one of my favourite effects ever, and about two years ago I bought a Catalinbread Pareidolia Harmonic Mesmerizer (discontinued), basically a harmonic tremolo pedal, along with their DLS 3 and a Mr Black Gold Eterna pedal. Although these two pedals are amazing in their own right, the Pareidolia has a sound quite similar to your Supro, but this pedal of mine has some strange filtering sounds that I can't put my finger on, ergo Pareidolia. Thank you for all your amazing content, and such a professional approach to all that you do...
Damn you for making me want a pedal that I didn't even know existed! That was some smooth killing playing right there! Definitely I'll be looking for a cheap harmonic tremolo just in case I can't make it sound as sweet as you
