Tremolo Plug-in?

Post by Tom Wolverton »

Anyone have a tremolo plugin they like? My Fender amp has the click in the trem. Love to have something cleaner without having to buy a Princeton.

why not just buy a pedal ? I have a Danelectro Cool Cat Pedal I think it cost $50...maybe less...

I use it when needed and print it to the track. I left the camp of "plug ins are best" because you can remove them. If I want Tremelo, I'm recording the track with it just like we did before we had DAW's.

Good idea. I guess I could always do a send/return from a dry track out to a pedal. My Avid MBox Pro can do that.

And you are correct, doing it with software isn't always best. Plus you have all that iLok BS to deal with.

When I use a Tremelo pedal now I just put it "in line", adjust it to how I want it to sound .I play for maybe a minute or so to see how it fits in the mix and then record and don't look back. I have found that a tad less depth lets it sit in the mix smoothly, non abrupt.

thats all I got !
GOOD LUCK !
