The Demeter TRM-1 Tremulator is a tremolo pedal which has been manufactured by Demeter Amplification since 1982. It was apparently designed at the request of guitarist Ry Cooder, who wanted a pedal that sounded exactly like a vintage Fender tremolo unit for use with any amp.[1]

Controls

The Tremulator has 2 knobs, which are, from left to right:

  • "Depth" (controls the amount of amplitude modulation on the signal or the amount of effect)[1]
  • "Speed" (increases and decreases the frequency of the low-frequency oscillator)[1]

There is also a trim pot on the side to set the bias for the optical unit, and the unit comes preset at Ry Cooder's preferred settings.[1]

Tremulator users

Notable musicians who have used the Tremulator include:[citation needed]

  • Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead (can be heard on "Bones" and "Lucky")
  • Nick Valensi of The Strokes (can be heard on "Juicebox")
  • Eddie Van Halen of Van Halen
