Blackcap Asynchronous Harmonic Dual Tremolo
Blackcap is the harmonic variation of Whitecap, our dual asynchronous tremolo. It combines a simple three-knob analog tremolo and more complex digital tremolo in one box. The analog tremolo is a traditional volume-modulating tremolo. The digital tremolo is a harmonic tremolo, crossfading between highs and lows to create a unique modulation. The two tremolos can be routed in parallel or in series, or isolated one at a time. The two voices together create quick chops, slow ramps, asynchronous modulations, and textural rhythmic drifts, all with added harmonic interest.
Controls include:
Rate, Depth, and Volume for the analog tremolo
Rate, Depth, Volume, Tap Tempo, and five selectable waveforms for the digital tremolo
Ramping to speed up or slow down the digital tremolo by holding down Tap Tempo switch
A series/parallel toggle to run analog into digital or both side by side
External tap tempo jack
Soft-touch bypass footswitch for true bypass and minimal switch noise
For more information, see the Blackcap manual available here.
Requires 9V DC center negative 2.1mm jack power supply capable of 110mA (not included).
