Discover the true spiraling and hypnotic potential of advanced stereo tremolo. The Vertigo offers three distinct tremolo effects. Normal tremolo delivers a divine renewal of the thumping “opto trem” amplitude modulation found in vintage Blackface Fenders. Harmonic revives the haunting sway of the Fender Super’s “Vibrato” effect from the early 60s — this vintage tremolo ping-pongs between a low and high frequency boost, creating a swinging phaser-ish effect. Finally, the sweetly overdriven Bias tremolo creates the swampy “bias wiggle” of early tube bias modulation. The Vertigo takes the tonal possibilities a step further with its Shape knob, which allows users to morph the LFO wave shape from square, to sine or opto, to saw tooth.

The Official Vertigo Tremolo Demo Video

Out of the box, the Vertigo Tremolo offers tremendous tonal range, but beneath the surface resides a treasure chest of swirling effect possibilities. Connect the Vertigo to the Neuro 3 Mobile App (a free download for Android or iOS devices) and access Source Audio’s free library of progressive tremolo patterns and hybrid modulation effects - each can be uploaded directly to the pedal. The Neuro 3 App also offers an additional set of adjustable parameters including parametric EQ, wet/dry mix, tap tempo, and stereo separation. Plus, every One Series pedal is fully MIDI compatible when coupled with the Neuro Hub (formerly Soundblox Hub), giving you the power to save up to 128 presets.

Mmmmm, Andy jumped in with some sweet ZZ Top riffs for this ultra swampy demo of the Vertigo Tremolo. But it's not all traditional sounds here - Andy also gets into the Neuro App for some tremolo combined with a random step filter effect. Too cool!

Mike Hermans (also with Pro Guitar Shop) plugged into the Vertigo Tremolo for a tour-de-force of tremolo throbby-ness. How Soon Is Now? Very soon.

Nobody goes as deep as our friend Henning Pauly (a.k.a. "EytschPi42") - that is not up for debate. Great sound clips in this video, also great instructional info, and general FX philosophizing. 

Elmer Ferrer created this way-cool Vertigo Tremolo video. Elmer dove deep into the bonus Vertigo engines in Neuro App for some excellent non-traditional effects.

The Neuro Editing Systems

Job one in the development of the Vertigo Tremolo was to create a great sounding, flexible, and easy-to-use tremolo pedal. Out of the box, that’s exactly what it is – plug in, select from the three onboard tremolo engines and make beautiful music… simple. But there is much more here than meets the eye - the truly “Big Idea” behind our One Series pedals was to give musicians a second, far deeper, set of options and editing tools with which to craft the perfect tone. The Neuro 3 Mobile App is a free downloads for iOS and Android. It offers a huge collection of unique and hybrid tremolo engines as well as an expanded set of editing parameters. After editing your preset, burn it directly to the pedal and access it without reconnecting the Neuro 3 App.
