It might seem subtle, but it isn't. Tremolo before overdrive produces a much more interesting tone because the tremolo is fluctuating the amount of signal going into the overdrive so the sound is getting dirtier and cleaner as the signal goes up and down. It is amazing how much we take for granted what order we think effects should be in, and how we should really experiment to find out what we like better, instead of just doing what everyone else does. Along the way, I talk a bit about Pops Staples, and I also compare my 1965 Deluxe Reverb amp's tremolo with the Analogman modified Boss TR-2 on my board.

Zac - Thanks for some love on a ubiquitous yet often taken for granted effect. My favorite scene in "It Might Get Loud" is watching Jimmy Page's face light up as he describes Link Wray's use of Tremelo/Vibrato while spinning his own 45rpm copy of "Rumble." He becomes a 12 year old again. Listen to "Immigrant Song" to hear how Mr. Page applied the effect himself.

Great video, Zac! Thanks so much! Tremolo is my favorite effect. The record I always go back to when I'm in the mood for great tremolo tones is Dylan's, "Oh Mercy". There's tremolo all over that album. One of the first amplifiers I bought was an Ampeg Jet 12-T, specifically for the tremolo. One of the best trem circuits I've ever played through. I also run a trem pedal before my drives which allows me to have trem before drives (pedal) or after drives (amp). Looking forward to whatever you've got planned next!

Zac, you are one of my favourite people on the Tube. Love your whole attitude and delivery. Just want you to know. Long may you wave. BTW, one classic user of tremolo was Duane Eddy on number of songs. Using clean-set Fender amps, he usually sets the depth very high and the speed at approximately 1/16th note to the tempo of the song along with a lot of reverb. Another interesting use of trem is to set the speed at maximum and the depth very low to create a kind of "shimmer", which also works well with lots of reverb (again, reverb first). Stay healthy and safe. Cheers, mate.

Thanks and great video Zac. I'm a recent subscriber and really enjoying these videos of yours. This is the first time I've commented here and heard anyone make distinction between different order of trem in the signal chain. I always thought Ry Cooder had it in front of distortion in some of his recordings. Try it on a slower but deeper setting and some slow slide playing, it's just heavenly the trem depth kind of converts into a "width" as the signal going into the overdrive increases on the upswing. Hope this makes sense. Thanks again for great and very informative content! Cheers and stay well.

@brianrollins7275 Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the video, I appreciate it. I just bought the Tidewater Tremolo from JHS and I didn’t like it until I put it before my overdrive/distortion. If I turn the depth all the way down it becomes a boost and it just works better before dirt for me. Yes Trem is modulation but it changes volume not pitch so for me it’s better used in the beginning of my chain. Great playing by the way. Take care ✌🏻

I place an overdrive, or boost pedal, always on after my pedal-board. I think of it as a part of the amp, it's my amp system. Usually I use an ODR-1 set with volume pushing the input a little, just a bit of gain and maybe a touch of of the tone control, maybe 1 o'clock. It's like having your amp opened up a little, so it's just breaking up (or more depending on what you want), then I use my volume knob. I find the cleans are nicer and clearer (kinda like Hendrix with the Fuzz Face with his volume knob rolled back). Everything sticks to it better. Delays. Reverb. Tremolo. Rotary. Even other drive pedals. It makes your Fuzz sound better. Give it a try.

This sounds like a really good idea actually. I'm thinking about doing this with the odr off board and somewhere I can reach easily maybe on top of my amp. I feel like this will allow me to dial in my sound more easily since I'm getting all of my dirt from pedals into a twin

Sounding great as always Zac! I'm actually quite surprised at how close the pedal is to the amp tremolo sound - I was not expecting that at all. I have a little Danelectro tremolo pedal that I got for free when I bought my Danelectro Daddy-O over drive pedal forever and a day ago. I was actually thinking of selling it because I haven't used it much. Then a couple of months ago, I took it out to show my wife what it does after she asked about it and I was like, hm... it actually sounds pretty cool. I think I may need to just mess with it a bit more and get comfortable with some of its settings. Thanks for the inspiration! I especially like the sound you got by having it before the overdrive. I'll have to give that a shot too.

Its interesting how much you can change your tone & overall vibe just by messing with signal chain. This is probably a great way to break out of a rut, some people go & buy a Gretch or some expensive obscure nitch piece of gear to explore new uncharted avenues but just reordering pedal signal chain or tinkering with an old pedal that you haven't used in years can be very effective at achieving similar results to reignite that old love of guitar! Can't wait to try this when I get home! Thanks again zac for demonstrating something simple but so useful!

It reminded me of an interview I read with Marty Stuart, in Guitar Player, probably 25 years ago: He was talking about producing Pops Staples's solo record and recalled that, when he asked Pops what he would need, once he flew into Nashville, Pops said (I'm paraphrasing; it's been a quarter century/lol) "Oh, please just rent me a Cadillac and a '65 with some shake on it." Marty said that after they hung up he had to call a mutual friend and ask what a "'65 with some shake on it" was. A Fender amp with trem... I love that story so much.

@-Pol- 2 жыл бұрын

When I got my first tremolo pedal it seemed obvious to me that the most rewarding place to have it was before my Blues Driver (clone). Set to edge of breakup, the dynamically sensitive Blues Driver responds to the oscillating volume by rapidly cycling between clean and overdriven output. This gives the distortion a lively "frothiness" that you don't get with tremolo placed after the distortion where it just varies the volume of whatever's come before. Putting tremolo first (but after any compression) varies both volume~distortion intensity together. Putting the tremolo later delivers an even level of distortion and oscillates only the volume. Of course putting an already distorted signal into a tremolo and then into an amp set to edge of breakup might have an interesting dynamic too.Options options options...

@kylenorton1533 4 жыл бұрын

@-Pol- 2 жыл бұрын

Most of the time I keep the amp tremolo in my Pathfinder 15r always on. I have it set to a relaxed rate and a depth so subtle that it only really becomes apparent when I turn it off! If you were to suggest this might help compensate for my sloppy finger vibrato then I wouldn't deny it! It lifts my tone with just a hint of movement without being noticeably present. I add in just a smidge of reverb and the amp really comes alive. This then becomes the sonic foundation for my pedal board's more 'overt' effects.

@BillyjoeDaniel 8 ай бұрын

Stumbled upon the combo putting a Demeter tremulator before a couple drive pedals The tremulator has a little boost and “character” so you can add less gain after the fact to achieve spongy drive results. (a TS style , Timmy & Lenny pedals sounded cool with this order) Looked up info online about other folks thoughts and of course your video came up. !! Not much else though Love your playing & Great insightful inspiring videos keep going ! Keep growing ⚡️🤘

It’s odd. I also run my tremolo first in the chain, before wah/filter and drives. I want to love modulation but I just can’t get into it, but having the tremolo running first into the drive and filters, I can get some interesting and powerful sounds, like a faux modulation effect. I dig it a lot. So I googled to see what others do, and your video popped up. Great video and tones.

@ddw132 4 жыл бұрын

Interesting. I’ve come to the conclusion I need both! I ultimately prefer the bias trem in my Victoria Regal. However, it has a major drawback that my pedal solves - it thumps when I activate it despite trying everything to stop it (different pedal/switches, cables, tubes etc...), so it’s not feasible to switch in an out (say for a bridge or whatever). I have a Walrus Monuments pedal that is very good. It’s analog but has a lot of control ability including an expression pedal option (swelling it on and off), and/or a momentary switch for activation a held chord or similar. So, while the amp is vibier it’s really limited to entire tune use, plus it’s noisier. All this said, the best use of trem I’ve heard is Tony Joe White (amp based) and Jerry Miller (with Eilen Jewell). JM was using two basic Boss terms, I assume set fast and slow or whatever. Two different approaches and but sounded glorious.

I hate jacking with pedals once they're on the floor; even considered using a raised board, up off the ground. Trems like the Monument , Kodiak , and Supro have expression pedal compatibility AND tap tempo,- removing the need for all the squinting and squat thrusts at unnatural angles. Placed between two reverbs,with the first with longer trails, - opens up a whole parcel of possibilities.The same goes with OD's, - along with other modulations, - a sort of split gain stacking.Pedal order can make all the difference.
