Empress Tremolo Orange

You may wish to request stock levels for this product if ordering multiple items

Superb Tremelo Pedal from Canada ****TAP TEMPO LED NOW INCLUDED**** The Empress Tremolo is now in stock! Below you'll find lots of information and some soundclips. Features of the Empress Tremolo The Empress Tremolo is an original design built from the ground up to include innovative features without sacrificing tone. The audio signal path is analog, but the tremolo effect is controlled digitally via opto technology. Pristine Sound - The Empress Tremolo has to be heard to be believed. It's whisper quiet and free from the "LFO throb" usually associated with tremolos. 


We dare anyone to find a better sounding tremolo. Waveform Selection - You can modulate your sound with three different waveforms. An asymmetrical tremolo was modelled after a '65 Fender Vibrolux (brown face) to give you the fullest tremolo sound possible. A square wave can be utilized if you're after a harder sound. And if you're looking for a more normal tremolo, you can use the triangle wave setting. Tap Tempo - The Empress Trem averages your last four taps so it plays in sync with your music. You can also choose different tap to tremolo rate ratios. 1:1, 1:2, and 1:4 are available. Two Speed Mode - An exclusive feature to the Empress Trem. You're able to set two different rates, and switch between them using the tap tempo stompswitch. This is similar to playing through a Leslie cabinet and changing the speed. Rhythms - Another exclusive feature. The Empress Trem will definiately do your run-of-the-mill tremolo sound to a tee. But you can also set it to play different rhythms. Check out the soundclips for examples. Gain - A problem with most tremolos on the market is that when they're engaged, you hear a noticeable drop in volume. The Empress Trem solves this by having a gain stage on the output. It's able to deliver up to 6dB of gain without adding any distortion to the signal. True Bypass - The Empress Trem employs true bypass, so you can be sure that it's not affecting the signal when disengaged. Perfect Size - The enclosure measures approximately 4.5" by 3.5" by 1.5", which is delightfully small when considering all the features packed into this unit. Does NOT run on batteries will only run on power supply standard 9v negative tip (Like Boss PSA120)

When I wanted a trem I originally bought the Boss and was never really impressed. The volume drop put me off using it and I always wanted a trem with tap tempo anyway. I looked this one up and thought I'd give it a go (although it was cheaper when I bought it). I have to say it's brilliant. It's so easy to quickly find a sound you like, the gain knob come in extremely handy and the tap tempo works a dream. I don't tend to use the different patterns but they do work nicely. My only issue is that at one point two of the knobs had fell off, I don't like them, they seem to come loose easily. However I emailed the guy at Empress (Steve I think). He immediately mailed me over replacements from Canada and a spare one, all I had to do was nip out and buy an alan key. I would recommend this tremelo in an instant and if you can afford the difference it's well worth paying the extra ahead of the Boss. I can't describe how frustrating the volume drop was and how great it is to have a gain control on this pedal. Love it, 4.5 due to the flimsy knobs but I'll round it to 5 to make up for the 1 star reviews.
5 excellent!

I have to agree with Frank. I came into the shop and compared one of these to the Boss Trem. Pound for pound the Boss proved to be the better deal. Seems like a case of Empress's new clothes to me!

I can't understand why Frank thought this pedal was a waste of money. The sound quality is fantastic and far superior to the Boss unit plus the controls make this far more versatile. I've had mine for 7 months and love it.

What a waste of money. I'd go with a Boss any day of the week.

This is an outstanding pedal and I can't think of anything out there that even comes close. <br/> <br/>Everything from a gentle pulse to Green Day madness! If you use Trem for anything and need more than one sound then this is the pedal for you.
