TWIN PEAKS
Tap Tempo Harmonic Tremolo
Twin Peaks is a tremolo that consists of two separate analog audio paths whose volume can be modulated. One is a low-pass and the other a high-pass filter.
How it works
When you modulate both in sync it sounds like a regular tremolo where the whole audio spectrum is modulated at once. When you modulate them out of sync your output signal will pan from the low pass to the high pass signal and you will get interesting phasing effects where the two filter curves meet. This is what is usually referred to as a harmonic tremolo.
While the tap tempo and LFO functions are digital, the audio path is 100% analog. The tremolo effect is achieved using optocouplers.
Features
4 tremolo modes
- VVolume modulation, your classic tremolo
- FFrequency modulation, harmonic tremolo
- BBass modulation only, with fixed treble
- TTreble modulation only, with fixed bass
8 LFO shapes
Envelope controlled rate
This allows you to dynamically control the rate with your playing intensity.
Hard chopping
I recorded this short clip to illustrate how on and off the Twin Peaks tremolo can get.
