Love The Supa-Trem
The Supa-Trem & Full-Drive 2
So, I’ve been starting to play more and more electric guitar these days. I’ve been wanting to change up my live show a little bit (especially with some of the newer material I’ve been writing) and I randomly had this hunch that I needed to check out a tremolo pedal. I did some research online and found a couple pretty cool options. I had great success with my Fulltone Full-Drive 2 overdrive pedal so I thought I’d give their Supa-Trem pedal a try. It did not disappoint. The rate knob is pretty sensitive, so it’s taken me a while to get the hang of how to adjust the rate, etc. on the fly, but after I got the hang of it, I found that this pedal is pretty darn cool. Add a little overdrive (or a lot) and click on the hard tremolo option on the right stomp switch and you’ve got this machine gun like stutter that turns ordinary chord progressions into something pretty worthwhile. Like anything, I’m sure this effect can be overused, but in terms of adding some Nashville vibe to my electric, this no-frills pedal is definitely doing the trick. Be sure to check out my next full band set at Cafe du Nord in San Francisco, CA on Saturday, February 6th to hear the Supa-Trem in action on a few new tunes.
