What is TREMOLO?
Tremolo is a Vintage Guitar Amplifier effect that hails from the Brit invasion during the 60's. Essentially it's like having someone
sat next to your amplifier turning the master volume up and down! Having the Depth Control set to maximum will give a very
dramatic effect, making your guitar sounding very choppy, you can adjust how quickly the volume is turned up and down with
the speed control. Best thing to do is experiment to find your perfect sound.

all points in-between.
This controls the high and low frequencies of the REVERB. You can make the
REVERB sound brighter by turning this control clockwise or you can make the
sound darker by turning it counterclockwise.
Experiment with this control to see which settings work best for you.
This controls the mix (amount) of REVERB in your sound. Turning this knob fully
clockwise will give you a wet, saturated sound while counterclockwise will give
you a drier sound.
As you might have guessed, this controls the SPEED of the built-in TREMOLO.
This controls the DEPTH (intensity) of the built-in TREMOLO.
TREBLE and BASS controls. What this does is the opposite of what you may
think. Turning it clockwise will decrease the higher frequencies and turning it
counterclockwise will add higher frequencies.
This controls the overall (MASTER) VOLUME of your amplifier. Cleaner sounds
can be achieved by lowering the NORMAL or TOP BOOST volumes and raising
the MASTER. Setting the MASTER lower and the NORMAL and TOP BOOST
volumes higher will give you a fatter, more distorted tone at a lower volume.
As with all the controls of this amplifier, please experiment with different configu-
rations to find the tones that fit your playing style.
applying the H.T. supply. Before connecting the amplifier to the Mains supply,
ensure the Power and STANDBY switches are in the off position. Turn on the
POWER switch first and then wait 2–3 minutes before turning on the STANDBY
switch. Doing this each time you play helps prolong tube life.
The STANDBY switch is also very useful for playing live as it allows you to keep
the valves at a functional temperature between sets.
This is the ON/OFF switch for the power to the amplifier. Please ensure the ampli-
fier is switched off and unplugged before being moved.
