Origin Effects RevivalTREM Bias Tremolo

Full Description

A revolutionary revival

The Origin Effects Revival TREM Bias is one-of-a-kind, and faithfully translates those soft pulsations of true power tube bias tremolos that have hypnotised audiences and players for decades. Revered as one of the most sought-after tremolo sounds to date, it’s a signature tone found in certain amps from the late '50s and early '60s.

Bringing that gorgeous classic sound into the 21st century was the mission for Origin Effects - and now it's here in all its glory. If you want to access that legendary tone and effect without splashing out on a fancy amp, then look no further. Crafted with care in the United Kingdom, this pedal's tonality is firmly rooted in the behaviour of real valve amp circuitry. The tremolo is recreated at circuit level, ensuring the absolute authenticity with true vintage flair. This doesn't limit you simply to vintage sounds, the Revival TREM has been kitted out with a diverse collection of modern features, giving you astounding flexibility and enormous sonic variety.

The next level

The Origin Effects Revival TREM Bias is seriously versatile and highly controllable, it goes above and beyond with the amount of sonic variation available. The three main controls consist of the Intensity for depth manipulation, the Speed control adjusts the rate, and there's a footswitch for activating or bypassing the tremolo effect altogether. What's more, the Trem footswitch is one of two footswitches on the Revival TREM, and it's completely separate to the pedal's on/off switch. That's because the Revival TREM also offers a faithful range of stunning clean and overdriven tones.

The Drive control gives you that signature non-master-volume guitar amp sonic potential, delivering sparkling bell-like cleans at low levels and crisp, vintage crunch towards the higher settings. You can alter the tone of that sound with the aptly-named Tone control - giving you a brighter sound the more you turn it up whilst taming the highs when turned down - and you can set the overall level of the pedal with Output control.

With the Origin Effects Revival TREM Bias, you don’t just have one speed option for the tremolo effect itself. A toggle switch labelled Multi allows you to apply a preset multiplier to the Speed control. This adjusts the range of Speed available, giving you a vast range of tremolo speed options. Then there's the Shape toggle switch, which lets you choose between two different LFO waveforms to alter the shape of the tremolo's action. The sine wave gives a more traditional sound, whilst the full wave setting is perfect when you want to up the intensity.

Finally, there's the Post Drive EQ section. This offers complete compatibility with a wide variety of amplifiers, allowing you to adjust the frequency response of the pedal to suit the response of your amp. The ADJ trim pot gives you even more fine-tuning potential over your top-end, so you can sculpt your sound with absolute precision.

Tap out

The Origin Effects Revival TREM Bias allows you to dial in your ideal tremolo sound on the fly. A handy footswitch input lets you plug in your external footswitch, giving you tap tempo capabilities, as well as the ability to activate or bypass the tremolo remotely. This input is directly compatible with a huge variety of effects switching systems too - making it easy to integrate into any pedalboard.
