SolidGoldFX Announces New Stutterbox Tap Tempo Tremolo

The Stutterbox is a fresh design combining an all-analog tremolo relying on a light source and photocell to create it’s mesmerizing and throbbing effect reminiscent of our favorite vintage tube amps, with a powerful tap tempo controller.

Montreal, Quebec (September 10, 2012) – SolidGoldFX is excited to announce the release of their new and improved Stutterbox optical tremolo pedal. The Stutterbox is a fresh design combining an all-analog tremolo relying on a light source and photocell to create it’s mesmerizing and throbbing effect reminiscent of our favorite vintage tube amps, with a powerful tap tempo controller. Multiple speed controls, various waveforms, inspired rhythmic modes and an adjustable output section make this a great sounding and versatile pedal.

A number of key features set the Stutterbox apart. To start, the Stutterbox is equipped with SGFX’s proprietary tap tempo microprocessor. As such, the tremolo rate can be set using the speed knob, controlled by expression pedal, or tapped in via the tap foot-switch for greater accuracy. The pedal also features a tap multiplier with 1x, 2x, and 4x multiplier settings.

Three distinct waveform settings, including sine, square, and sweep settings, along with eight different rhythmic patterns and accents via the Mode knob offer an infinite number of tonal textures and possibilities. The sine and square wave settings deliver both soft and hard tremolo tones while the sweep setting delivers a choppy yet rounded effect much like you would expect from a tube driven trem.

Finally, the Stutterbox is fitted with Tone and Gain controls to dial in just the right amount of texture and output. A standard 2.1mm 9-18vDC input jack is provided and true bypass switching rounds out the package. Our goal was to build a natural sounding tremolo with innovative new features.

The Stutterbox is available for $239.
