Hummingbird
A choppy, sawtooth 'repeat percussion' style tremolo modeled after vintage amp tremolo circuits.
About this pedal
Hummingbird recreates the choppy, sawtooth-wave ‘repeat percussion’ tremolo found in vintage Valco and Vox amps, with three speed ranges plus Rate and Depth controls that go from classic shimmering tremolo to synth-like chopped pulses. With Depth turned all the way down it doubles as a simple JFET clean boost, and the Rate control accepts expression pedal control for on-the-fly speed changes.
