RED WITCH PENTAVOCAL TREMOLO.
A New Approach to Tremolo. Yes indeed, the Red Witch Pentavocal tremolo
offers several features that
are completely unique and unavailable elsewhere. Since the fifties the
concept of tremolo has changed very little. Controls for Speed, Depth,
Volume and Waveshape have been the parameters available for adjustment.
Till now.
The Pentavocal tremolo is simply that, a tremolo with five different
voices to choose from. You can select the frequency response by turning
the rotary selector to the desired setting. From a delicate, shimmery,
flutter trem to a pulsy low end throb they're all there. The Pentavocal
trem can certainly also do the classic sound of a vintage valve trem
and then soooo much more. This pedal also has another unique feature,
the Bottom control. Find out about this by reading.
CONTROLS:
Velocity - This dial allows you to select the speed of the tremolo. From Super Slow to Super Fast.
Depth - Allows you to control the depth of the effected sound.
Volume
- Select from zero output to well above unity gain - this enables you
to never be faced with the heinous volume drop that many trem pedals
have when they're providing really deep tremming.
Bottom - Yes, we’ve labeled one of the controls bottom. Not out of
homage to a British comedy series or to the shapely derrière of the
fairer sex, but as a totally new option for tremolo users. The Bottom
control allows the user to dial in the amount of mid range and hi
frequency cut that occurs as the volume decreases in the trem cycle.
Simply put, turn the bottom control all the way to the left and the
volume just increases and decreases as per a normal trem, but set it
all the way to the right and you’ll find that as the volume decreases
all of the hi end and midrange disappears. You can of course dial in as
little or as much of this effect as you like. Turning the Bottom
control fully clockwise whilst having the depth fully clockwise also
allows you to access an asymmetrical wave which sounds incredibly
pretty at high velocity. Lucky old you.
Voicing - A five way rotary switch that lets you choose from 5 differently voiced tremolo settings.
Tremulate Footswitch - Bring the effect into the the signal path by clicking this one.
Truebypass switching.
Wave Footswitch - Allows you to jump from a lovely smooth tremolo over to a hard square chop by simply depressing your foot.
POWER CONSUMPTION:
The Pentavocal trem can be powered from either a nine volt battery or
an external nine volt adapter (PSA styled is ideal, though anything
with a 2.1mm barrel plug with a negative center pin is fine). This
pedal uses some sneaky circuitry to lift the internal voltage up to 17
regulated volts. The benefit ofthis is far greater headroom.
The Tremolo comes finished in chrome with emerald text. Even
the knobs on this visual symphony are chrome plated. An emerald green
LED pulses along with the tremolo when the effect is engaged. All
components are top notch, Switchcraft jacks, alpha pots, through hole
double sided circuit boards etc etc. What more could you want? Lifetime
guarentee on all electronics.
