The Cardinal Tremolo v1 is a tremolo effect evocative of the harmonic tremolo effect that was available from certain Fender amps, from 1960 to 1963. These amps include:

  • The Fender Concert,
  • The Fender Pro,
  • The Fender Showman,
  • The Fender Super, and
  • The Fender Twin

Controls

  • Knob 1 - "Depth": Sets the depth of the volume swell of the tremolo
  • Knob 2 - "Rate": Sets the speed of the swell of the tremolo
  • Switch 1 - "Select": Allows selection between Harmonic and Standard Tremolo functions

We currently only have Version 1 of the Cardinal Tremolo pcb. It would appear that 1776 Effects has also released a Version 2. The pedal makes available both the amplike "Harmonic" tremolo, as well as a standard volume-swell tremolo effect. A quick look at both the schematics for v1 and v2 suggests that the only big difference between the two is that the Version 2 board takes what are trimpots (set-em and forget-em) on the board and exposes them as full potentiometers.
