What kind of tremolo effect does the JHS 3 Series Harmonic Tremolo pedal produce?

This pedal delivers a rich, vintage-inspired harmonic tremolo. Unlike standard tremolo that just varies volume, harmonic tremolo splits your signal into high and low frequencies, then modulates them out of phase before recombining. This creates a lush, swirling, almost vibrato-like effect reminiscent of classic tube amps, adding depth and movement to your sound.

How do the controls on the JHS 3 Series Harmonic Tremolo pedal function?

The pedal features four intuitive controls. The "Rate" knob adjusts the speed of the tremolo effect, from slow swells to fast choppiness. The "Volume" knob controls the overall output level of the pedal. "Depth" controls the intensity of the effect, from subtle shimmer to deep throb. The "Type" switch toggles between a standard amplitude tremolo (up position) and the unique harmonic tremolo (down position), allowing you to select your preferred texture.

Who is the JHS 3 Series Harmonic Tremolo pedal best suited for?

This pedal is perfect for guitarists, bassists, and keyboard players seeking to add classic, warm, and unique modulation to their sound. Whether you're looking for subtle vintage amp-style tremolo or a more pronounced, swirling effect, its versatile controls cater to a wide range of musical styles and players, from beginners to experienced tone-chasers.

What are the power requirements for the JHS 3 Series Harmonic Tremolo pedal?

The JHS 3 Series Harmonic Tremolo pedal requires a standard 9V DC power supply with a negative center pin. Please note that the power supply is sold separately. Using the correct power supply ensures optimal performance and protects your pedal.

Get to know them!

The JHS 3 Series Harmonic Tremolo is the company's take on Leo Fender's long-lost trem effect. Rather than using variable amplitude to achieve its pulsating sound, this stompbox employs dual-band filtering and LFOs to emphasize high and low frequencies in a rhythmic, alternating pattern. The Harmonic Tremolo is a cinch to navigate, thanks to intuitive, top-panel controls that enable everything from classic tremolo sounds to wild, Vibra-Chorus-like textures. You can dial in the rate, volume, and depth of the tremolo effect with the guitar pedal's three knobs, while a Type switch toggles between standard and harmonic tremolo modes. The 3 Series Harmonic Tremolo offers a trem effect unlike any other. If you feel like your pedalboard is missing that special something, this budget-friendly stomp may be just what you're been searching for.

Easy-to-navigate controls

Like the rest of JHS's value-conscious 3 Series of guitar pedals, the Harmonic Tremolo is a breeze to navigate, thanks to its intuitive, top-panel controls. The Rate knob controls the rate of the tremolo; left is slower, right is faster. The Volume knob controls the overall volume of the pedal; left is less, right is more — here at Sweetwater, we're surprised by the amount of volume the Harmonic Tremolo delivers. The Depth knob controls the depth of the tremolo; left is less, right is more. Lastly, the Type switch toggles between standard tremolo (up) and harmonic tremolo (down).
