JHS Pedals

collapse expand iconDescription

Have you ever ridden the sonic waves of a vintage Fender blackface or VOX tremolo flowing like water from the speaker? Then you know that this kind of tone can make you feel like you’re sailing on a million dollar yacht. The Tidewater Tremolo effects pedal faithfully recreates this beloved amp tremolo with a warmth and character you would only expect from a vintage amp. With simple controls and a small footprint, you’ll be sailing the high seas of tone with the Tidewater Tremolo.

The controls are Volume, Mix and Speed. The Volume allows you to set the overall volume at unity, below unity or above unity for a boosted tone. With the Mix turned all the way down, you can use the Tidewater as a warm preamp boost. The Mix knob controls the depth of the tremolo while the Speed knob controls how fast the tremolo moves, indicated by the LED next to the Speed knob. Inside the pedal on the back of the PCB there are three small dip-switches. When all three switches are in the down position, the range of speed available is faster. When all three switches are in the up position, the available range of speed is slower.

When you want a simple amp-like tremolo that doesn’t take up much space, the Tidewater Tremolo is your vessel of choice. This stompbox requires standard 9V DC Negative power, consumes 3 mA, and measures 3.6" x 1.5” x 1",

    A little pricey, but if you can catch this on a deal than it's the perfect addition to your chain.

    This is a fair tremolo pedal. It tremolos, just as you'd expect, and it even includes a volume knob, for those that are concerned about the perceived volume drop that this effect tends to have. That being said, the rate knob doesn't have a very wide sweep, so I had to basically max it out to get my usual setting. I also compared it to my Boss TR-2, and I enjoyed the Boss sound loads more, and it just seemed a lot more versatile. So in the end, I decided to return the JHS, albeit a decent Tremolo effect.
