The Hotone Skyline Trem Opto Tremolo Guitar Pedal at a Glance:- Tremolo - a brief explanation
- The Hotone Skyline Series - tiny and stylish
- Hotone - design inspiration
Tremolo essentially sounds like somebody is rapidly turning the volume of your guitar up and down. Tremolo first started being incorporated into guitar amplifiers in the 1950s, most notably by Fender, where it was mistakenly referred to as "vibrato" (oddly enough, the vibrato arm on their guitars was referred to as a "tremolo bar"). The Skyline Trem's effect replicates the tone of the photoelectric tremolo, which was used in later amplifiers, particularly the Fender Blackface amps of the 1960s. The photoelectric tremolo proved extremely popular with surf musicians during that time. A timeless classic, the tremolo effect has continued to be utilized by modern artists including (but not limited to) R.E.M., The Black Keys, and Radiohead.
The Hotone Skyline Series - tiny and stylishLess than two inches high, less than three inches long, and weighing in at less than 7 ounces, the Hotone Skyline Series of stompboxes offers a compact design, rugged build, and flexible tone. Encompassing a variety of effects including a looper, tuner, delay, octaver, tremolo, various overdrive and distortion effects, and more, all Skyline pedals have a durable zinc alloy outer cover, a transparent top knob that is lit up by two LED lights, and two other knobs that glow in the dark.
