2009 Hewitt's Garage Vintage Tremolo

Inquire below about this Build.

Year: 2009
Brand: Hewitt's Garage
Model: Vintage Tremolo
Class: Tremolo
Owner: Terry Flood

This is a Vintage Style tremolo designed to be comparable with the Fulltone Supatrem.

This unit sports individual adjustments for Rate and Depth, Switches and Indicators for Speed, Style and Bypass.

This tremolo effect can go very deep. Tremolo is a subtractive effect by nature, so generally a volume drop is perceived. The deeper the Tremolo the more of a volume drop. To compensate for this I added a JFET boost to the post stage of the pedal, the adjustment for this is labeled Volume.

The general Tremolo effect of this unit is achieved by shorting the audio signal to the ground by means of an LDR.

FEATURES:

Adjustments:
RATE - Tremolo Rate
DEPTH - Tremolo Depth
VOLUME - Boost Volume

Switches:
SPEED - Switches between full and half speed for a leslie effect
HARD/SOFT - Switches between Styles, from smooth and hard choppy tremolo.
BYPASS - Switches between effect and True Bypass

Indicators
SPEED - Amber Led: "Slow mode"
HARD/SOFT - Bi-Color LED: Red blinks with rate for HARD, Alternating with Green for SOFT.
BYPASS - Green Led: effect is engaged

Power:
9volt Battery or Boss Style 9vdc adapter.

You can listen to a sample of this tremolo here.

Please note this mp3 is 12mb and may take time to download. This sample was recorded using my "Westmeinster Telecaster" (bridge pickup only) through a VOX Cambridge V9320 amp. The only effect in the chain is the HG "Vintage Tremolo" pedal.
