Beetronics Tuna Trem Tremolo
Description
The Beetronics Tuna Trem is the second pedal in the Tuna series, and like the Tuna Fuzz it comes packed in a real tuna can. Inside is an analog VCA tremolo under digital control with nine different modes, which Beetronics calls Species. They go well past a standard tremolo: smooth vintage throb, hard on/off chop, glitchy lo-fi stutter, rhythmic patterns, volume swells and a kill switch, all in one small, fun enclosure.
Pick a Species with the selector, then set the feel with the Speed and Depth controls, whose job changes to suit the mode you are in. In some modes the footswitch does more than turn the pedal on and off, so you can swell into a note or cut the signal on the beat with your foot.
The Nine Species
- Surfer Bee: smooth, classic sine-wave tremolo
- Leafcutter Bee: hard, choppy square-wave tremolo
- Bug Bee: broken, unstable lo-fi modulation
- Pecker Bee: short repeating tremolo bursts
- Helicop Bee: alternating strong and gentle pulses
- Jatai Bee: syncopated, off-beat patterns
- Orchid Bee: textured patterns that build as they go
- Sweller Bee: volume swells while the footswitch is held
- Morse Bee: momentary kill switch on the footswitch
