Scott Williamson I personally hate that most telecasters don't have tummy cuts-sticking to that yucky old world design. I've gotten bruises just from playing one in classical position lol
@@scottwilliamson8887 they look like chopping boards with strings. I get the low fi retro appeal, but they're ugly as sin imo. I'm not hating though, different strokes
If you don't understand tremolo, you're probably using it wrong. It's not meant to chop your sound like helicopter. It's best for giving your sound some subtle movement, or a fast trembling sound. Listen to some country or rockabilly if you wanna hear what I mean.
jma111000 You're right! The rules are meant to be broken. But I just mean, it sucks seeing people demo a tremolo pedal and crank the rate and depth and then seeing people in the comments say "I hate this sound, it's so annoying". Like yeah, it's not really best at those settings. But in theory yeah, I agree with you.
Sure! Townes Van Zant is the biggest recommendation I'd give. I think he's a fantastic songwriter and a total legend. Other wise I'd say Chet Atkins and Duane Eddy are some great country guitar players. Sturgill Simpson does country rock but better than you're used to hearing. And if you want something funny and stupid check out The Beet Farmers. That's about the best I can do!
The thing with this pedal is that it's exactly meant for that crazy stuff. If you want subtle movement this isn't the pedal you wanna buy anyway. Because of that it's appropriate to show where it can go. I personally don't care for subtle movement and have been looking for a trem that can do weird choppy stuff.
I just got the Tremotron from Andertons on Tuesday. After two days I´m ready to say that it is one of the best pedals of all time. It puts the awesome and the sauce in awesomesauce.
Not sure if anyone has mentioned this but that sound everytime The Cap hits his leg would be the reverb spring in your amp I'd say. Being that you're on the top floor now, floor boards probably has a little more bounce in them. Love the reviews btw & love a bizarre trem FX. Particular where it sounds almost like an OD. GRITTY is a word for, some would say shitty too.
From this video it's clear to me that neither of them know what to do with a tremolo. Bit like that time they reviewed Rickenbacker guitars by blues/shredding on them.
I'd love to see this on Guitar Paradiso where Mick and Pete actually demo it in a really useful jam situation. Cool pedal and this shows all the wacky stuff it can do, but i'd like to hear it in a jam. Not knocking what you guys do, just love hearing their jams too.
Can either you guys or Mick & Danish Pete please do a demo of Stone Deaf's amps? Their whole approach of digitally-controlled analogue circuits looks really interesting but I can't find any good demos to find out how they actually sound!
To be honest, I've tried a few tremolo pedals before but didn't quite know what to do with them, and for a while I thought "maybe tremolo just isn't the effect for me." After seeing this however, I definitely want to try out this pedal, and other tremolo pedals as well. I think I get it now, and I like it.
Mark Jones depends what you play, and very much where you place it in the chain. For bluesy, rootsy stuff it can't be beat, and right at the end of the chain for me for most exaggerated results.
I used to hate it too. It was like my brain couldnt accept that half of what I played didnt exist anymore. But recently Ive decided I like a subtle tremolo for certain things.
I bought a ToneCity Tremble specifically to play 'There is No God' off Extreme's Waiting for the Punchline, but I love the Tremolo effect. Wonderful for painting soundscapes. Also use it for 'I'm in love with a German Film star', although I believe that was actually a tape echo on the record. Just wish I could justify the expense of this one...
Great review guys, I am now really interested in this pedal. Just one minor suggestion, it would be cool to know what amp you're using in the review as a point of reference. Cheers mates and keep up the great work!!!
Would love to see you guys get a couple of Heritages from the Kalamazoo Michigan plant. It's where Gibson used to make all there guitars. After Gibson moved to Nashville the workers bought the plant and started there own brand called Heritage. Just idea. Love the the channel.
If i were a super hero named Tremotron, I'd be a badass with a super custom flying v that uses chords and the sound waves produced to obliterate my foes!
There are so many GOOD/GREAT guitarist, I really like to see the interesting guitarist that something different than move up and down the fretboard, with technological proficiency. Be Tom Morello, Peter Frampton, Les Claypool, yea I know he is a bassist, but they are all interesting. Thank you for the review. I bought one.
Hello hello The Captain and hello hello Chappers, my name is Kevin and i come to you from Green Bay Wisconsin and i was wondering what i would have to do to become the lucky recipient of a Free guitar that you have played on/in a video here on youtube? Preferably a Gibson LP, or a maple board Fender strat. Hell, anything that either of you have played with, and on a video would be the Absolute Best. An autograph would be pretty cool as well. You both are the best and i look to you both for guidance when it comes to reshearching new amps and pedals. Keep up the good work and i hope to hear from you both.
Sounds cool but most guitarists will not want this. Experimental stuff is definitely what it is geared for. Cool colors though! As always you guys rock at reviews.
Great video lads! Top job! However, would you mind awfully throwing some bass guitars up on this channel? I have LOVED your output over the years, but there needs to be more frequent bass love in this thing! :)
The comedian with the stuttering microphone was Norman Collier. He made a career out of pretending his mic wasn't working and also doing a chicken impression. I am not joking, he was on TV in the 70's and 80's and that was all he ever did. He's got stuff on UA-cam if you want to see what passed as entertainment back then.
Can you all do a video on how a "dearest" guitar becomes a dearest guitar, including section on appreciation and depreciation? Part of why I ask is because I'm currently shopping for a Fender Jazzmaster and it seems like buying a guitar that will appreciate in value isn't like it used to be at all. Buying American, ensuring that the hardware is top-shelf, intentionally looking for some interesting or seemingly brilliant *NEW* function on an old standard could end up costing you a lot of money too. So is the age of financial, non-sentimental appreciation over, or can I buy a 2016 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe, and expect it to appreciate the same way that the exact same model made in the 1970's has? What's the difference, and how do we figure it out? I don't believe buying an old guitar is always the "right" move to make (it depends completely on your style and fingers), but if you're an amateur with dreams, looking at a guitar as an investment as well as an instrument, the questions above are very important. Thanks, -Miguel
If I was a tremotron my super power would be for the hold ground to shake, but for me I'm not shaking. I am attached to the ground while watching people fly up in the air and lose their balance.
Run this trem into the miku. Please.
Please.
Please.
Please
to open a black hole or what?
well how would YOU summon her then
LISN TO THIS MAN
How Soon Is Now - the greatest 'trem' song ever written.
Nope. I love the Smiths but "Rumble" is better.
To me, the tremelo effect is like the Flying V and Telecaster. No matter how much you hate them from the start, you're going to end up wanting one.
Riley Palmer how can people hate telecasters???
Scott Williamson I personally hate that most telecasters don't have tummy cuts-sticking to that yucky old world design. I've gotten bruises just from playing one in classical position lol
personally I've never had that issue but that's the first of me hearing about it
@@scottwilliamson8887 they look like chopping boards with strings. I get the low fi retro appeal, but they're ugly as sin imo.

@@killslay it's kind of a scaple sound attached to a club, but I love it and use it as my main.
The editing in these videos is the best
let's be honest tremolo is a rather obscure effect, whatever tremolo you buy, it's gonna be the only term you'll need
Hardly obscure! I plan getting a Keeley tremelo and maybe this.
I put 5 Trem pedals on my board
any tremolo with an exp pedal input is what i first used - and i still use because its the only trem i need
Wut
Holy mother of all that is electric guitar
That tone, that progression, that vibe, that tremolo, at 2:42...
That's the sound in my head
What were the drive pedals used in this video?
10:29 that right there just sold me. That and my wife looking over and saying that looks sooo cool you should get it....
This is it. This is the best pedal. This is the best Rob & Captain video. I breathed rainbows.
Sorry to burst everyones bubble, but Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors is the best 80's cartoon! \m/
The Captain has a fantastic radio voice. Really enjoy your stuff!
Hey, how has Chapman Guitars not done a white ghost fret yet? White with black binding is where it's at
skrubbmeister fuck I need that now, wack some EMGS in there!
A slightly translucent white+faded blue to see the wood grain, call it the Chapman Spectre
Red Affix fuck don't make me jizz, I'm such a guitar nerd lol, I want that now.
like this? i have this one and a black with white binding s934.photobucket.com/user/barryclarkmusic/media/IBANEZ%20GUITARS%203/026-6-4.jpg.html
Sorta, but in the explorer shape that the ghost fret has, Nice guitar man! It looks like something mick Thomson would play. Are those EMG 81/60?
This is the first video in a while I've seriously enjoyed, nice to be seeing some cool products that make me want to put my hand in my pocket!
I enjoy watching your informative hijinks so much that I watch any video y'all are in, regardless of whether or not I'm interested in the topic!
This sounds incredible! I’ve never wanted a trem before but this is awesome!
Love the dial lights too.
Sold
I don't think I would ever use one of these to their full potential but it looks like a lot of fun to play with.
Well Rob confirmed it, the Chapman Trem pedal will be called the "Mating Rhinoceros."
Cheers on the new baby!
The entire time I was thinking "boulevard of broken dreams" by Green Day XD
ThreeDog Same dude!!! except the Green Day one wasn't tremolo, it was another effect.
now that you mention it...makes me believe the whole song is just one long tremolo
Really? I didn't know what it was but after watching the video I thought it was a trem
It was a tremolo used in "boulevard of broken dreams" any one who knows effects knows what a tremolo sounds like
thats what i thought thanks for the clear up

Country on the radio is trash, but the classic and obscure stuff is full of gems. Especially from a guitar playing standpoint.
Sure! Townes Van Zant is the biggest recommendation I'd give. I think he's a fantastic songwriter and a total legend. Other wise I'd say Chet Atkins and Duane Eddy are some great country guitar players. Sturgill Simpson does country rock but better than you're used to hearing. And if you want something funny and stupid check out The Beet Farmers. That's about the best I can do!
I also think that I have a hard time liking tremolos of someone is just jamming on guitar but they can definitely be cool in context of a song!
The thing with this pedal is that it's exactly meant for that crazy stuff. If you want subtle movement this isn't the pedal you wanna buy anyway. Because of that it's appropriate to show where it can go. I personally don't care for subtle movement and have been looking for a trem that can do weird choppy stuff.

I am not a massive fan of tremolo normally but this thing has me sold. Good value for the amount of crazy sound you can get out of it.
Trem suits you Lee. Sounded like you were playing some kind of stoner blues.
Love what Rob plays at the 20 minute mark...good stuff
Ah those baby day....... miss them/don't miss them!
My favourite intro of all time. There should be more pedal themed intros.
I realy like the new background! Looks comfortable. :D
BEST. INTRO. EVER.
*extremely bursting into the cockpit voice* Take this video room to Brazilford!
If you guys know how much guitars costs in Brazil you would never even joke about move to here.
Holy testicle Tuesday!!!!! That tone from 18:30 onwards is killer!!!!
+Tom Hand that's coz capn knows his shit
I think a pairing of this and the Miku pedal would be epic ;)
The only Trem I will ever need is the Fulltone Supa-Trem. Best tremolo I've ever used.
12:35 Captain: "Someone please do something!"
Damn I'm behind!! Congrats on the offspring Rob!!
Ullyses wow, remember the movie and the theme tune. What a cartoon.
Best ad for Red Bull
That new room looks awesome!
Great Riff to start the demo Rob!
12:38 back at it again with the sexuel overviews, rob
This was so funny talking about transformers being fit. These guys are on their slang game
That intro was great!
The idea that you both would leave the U.K. Just to film these in Brazil regularly is hilarious! 😂
Not sure if anyone has mentioned this but that sound everytime The Cap hits his leg would be the reverb spring in your amp I'd say. Being that you're on the top floor now, floor boards probably has a little more bounce in them. Love the reviews btw & love a bizarre trem FX. Particular where it sounds almost like an OD.

Thumps up for the Arcee reference!
Love it Rob I'm exhausted too!!
congrats rob !
The set ups really nice lads 👍
From this video it's clear to me that neither of them know what to do with a tremolo. Bit like that time they reviewed Rickenbacker guitars by blues/shredding on them.
Everyone in the comments is just like "I hate that sound", but i'm sitting here thinking "Oh man, i love the LEDs"
DomtoTheOriginal Amazing what 250 quid gets you
Wasn't feeling the name at first, but after Lee said "Steve Handless; Handless Guitars" that does roll off the tongue quite nice.
Can't wait for Rory summer hit "Two guys one Cup - we're talking bout a things"
I'd love to see this on Guitar Paradiso where Mick and Pete actually demo it in a really useful jam situation. Cool pedal and this shows all the wacky stuff it can do, but i'd like to hear it in a jam. Not knocking what you guys do, just love hearing their jams too.
Can you please do a review of the full new chapman range?
Pleaaaaaaaaaasssssseeee!!!!!
That strat is beautiful.
just got the stone deaf fig fumb and man the best fuzz you can get
Can either you guys or Mick & Danish Pete please do a demo of Stone Deaf's amps? Their whole approach of digitally-controlled analogue circuits looks really interesting but I can't find any good demos to find out how they actually sound!
Can you ask the captain to do more blues lessons?
Norman Collier not Norman Wisdom Lee!!! Great entertaining, funny and informative video as ever. Thanks guys!

Congrats to you and your beautiful ( Canadian of course :) ) wife. All the best.
Mrs Chappers is Maltese, not Canadian.
Oops. Thought they met up here. My bad.
I don't know why, but I've always hated Tremolo as an effect. I really can't explain why
Maybe it's because it sounds like garbage?
Mark Jones depends what you play, and very much where you place it in the chain. For bluesy, rootsy stuff it can't be beat, and right at the end of the chain for me for most exaggerated results.
I used to hate it too. It was like my brain couldnt accept that half of what I played didnt exist anymore. But recently Ive decided I like a subtle tremolo for certain things.
Hippie music....that's why.
Garbage as in... the band? (:
Tremotron! Roll out!
Wow, swanky new digs mates. Good job. Makes me want to put on a smoking jacket, tip a bottle of Merlot and put on my slippers. Tasty!
My god i wish i had the money. This thing is exactly what I want.
I bought a ToneCity Tremble specifically to play 'There is No God' off Extreme's Waiting for the Punchline, but I love the Tremolo effect. Wonderful for painting soundscapes.

What fun editing :D
It's something Gilmour would have sat on the floor with, back in the day.
Between the Eyes by Love Battery makes the best use of tremolo i've ever heard
Perfect for synth
Great review guys, I am now really interested in this pedal. Just one minor suggestion, it would be cool to know what amp you're using in the review as a point of reference. Cheers mates and keep up the great work!!!
Loving this!
Dave's long lost brother, Daypth.
Bit late for the "new room"-intro, 'innit? :D
Brazilian here! lol you guys are free to visit :)

Oh, Hendrix would have had an absolute field day with this
alot of the feedy stuff they do around the 19:30 mark reminded me of him
What would happen if you actually played a miku pedal through this pedal?
You would go back in time.
Rob you need to nap lol! At least for a few hours lol!
Very cool effect

Reminds me of one of my favourite pinball machines Orgasmatron. Very embarrassing to play in an arcade if you make a high score !
Noticed you guys are using straps more now then before. Any reason why? Just wondering. Great vids guys!
I'm from Brazil, just FYI, love you guys.
First chord - You Shook Me All Night Long... =D
I really want this pedal! Still need to find a way to make this useful in my band! XD
Red Balls gives me wiiiinnnnggggssss.
Sounds cool but most guitarists will not want this. Experimental stuff is definitely what it is geared for. Cool colors though! As always you guys rock at reviews.
FYI anyone with a synth of some kind that accepts audio in (eg microkorg) can try these effects out - it's just an lfo applied to a vca.
Great video lads! Top job! However, would you mind awfully throwing some bass guitars up on this channel? I have LOVED your output over the years, but there needs to be more frequent bass love in this thing! :)
Now I want to know what the vibrating noise was. Tell me Captain, if you found out.
And many, many songs were written.
Cheetara all day long Rob!!
Hahahha best intro yet!!

Whaaaat?? Rob with a strat and Lee with a LesPaul??
What was that amazing sound at 8:24? Is that the victory amp, a boosted delay? Incredible!
