MXR Tremolo

The MXR Tremolo: Iconic Tremolo Effects with Modern Versatility

A Versatile Range of Tremolo Waveforms

The MXR Tremolo brings a comprehensive selection of tremolo styles to your pedalboard, blending the iconic sounds of classic effects with innovative new options. Featuring six distinct waveforms, this pedal offers everything from lush, vintage amp-inspired tones to bold, modern textures:

• MXR: Recreates the natural, organic pulse of the classic M159 MXR Stereo Tremolo.
• Bias: Captures the smooth, power-soaked compression of early 1960s tube amp tremolo effects.
• Revo: A reverse optical tremolo effect with exaggerated peaks and valleys for dramatic soundscapes.
• Opto: Emulates the photo cell-generated tremolo of popular vintage amplifiers.
• SQR: Produces choppy, highly pronounced tremolo inspired by an iconic outboard effect.
• Harm: Delivers the phase-like, psychedelic tremolo of rare vintage amplifiers.

Easy Control with Advanced Features

With Speed, Gain, and Depth controls, dialing in your desired tremolo effect is intuitive and straightforward. Cycling through the six tremolo waveforms is as simple as pressing the Gain knob. Advanced features such as stereo operation, tap tempo, expression pedal compatibility, and envelope tremolo add extra layers of control, making the MXR Tremolo a powerful tool for creative expression.

Compact and Performance-Ready Design

Housed in a single MXR enclosure, the Tremolo provides a wide range of effects without crowding your pedalboard. Its durable construction ensures reliability for stage and studio use, while the ergonomic layout makes it easy to tweak your sound on the fly.
