The KJams Tremolo features output level control, true bypass, built-in tap switch, external tap switch input, external expression pedal input, and three program control pots.
The Tremolo pedal has two programs, selectable by the toggle switch:
- Norm (down) – Tremolo with Speed, Depth, and Wave shape controls.
- Harm (up) – Harmonic Tremolo with Speed, Depth, and Wave shape controls. There is a crossover at 800 Hz; the high and low frequencies are alternated to create a vibrato-like modulation similar to early 60s Fender brown face amps.
Pots
- Speed sets the speed of the Tremolo unless over-ridden by Tap or Expression.
- Depth set the depth of the Tremolo.
- Wave selects between four wave shapes: square, triangle, sawtooth up, and sawtooth down.
- Volume controls output level.
Footswitches
- Bypass is a standard bypass/enable latching switch. It is true bypass.
- Tap sets the speed of the Tremolo unless over-ridden by the Speed pot. Two taps set the speed. Tap just once and the speed will be set to the lowest.
Jacks
- In and Out jacks are standard mono, right to left.
- Tap acts exactly as the built-in tap. Use a standard normally open switch. It can also accept a system clock, up to 5V, square wave.
- Expression replaces the middle/lower control, Speed.
Power
- Input power is standard center-negative 9VDC.
- Current draw is 62mA.
- The pedal is safe with higher voltages, up to 18VDC, but we discourage using them.
Other
- The pedal is designed, engineered, and assembled in Holland, Michigan, USA.
- The pedal is based on the popular Spin FV-1 DSP chip.
- The faceplate is natural wood, so each piece is unique.
