Opto Tremolo
The Opto Tremolo model is based on* the optical tremolo circuit that was used in the blackface
Fender® amps, like the '64 Deluxe Reverb® and '65 Twin Reverb®. Basically a light bulb and a
photo-resistor, when the light got brighter, the tremolo got louder. It's a very smooth, even
tremolo, and the obvious choice for use with the
amp models that are based on Fender® originals.

Rotary Drum + Horn
Fine furniture and cool tones — the Leslie® 145 that the Rotary Drum + Horn model is based
on* gave you both at once! That tube-driven behemoth (you
definitely don't want to try picking one up on your own) f
a belt-drive rotating high frequency horn along with a
downward-facing 15-inch speaker that had a segmented drum
spinning under it to disperse the sound. It was originally
designed to be used with electric organs like the Hammond B3,
but once guitarists (and even vocalists!) heard it, they just had t
get in on the rotate-o-rama. Our model gives you all that
whirligig glory, without giving you a herniated disc. Slow/Fast
switch acts like the one that came on the Leslie 145’s preamp,
ramping between the two speeds. This effect also gives you
TONE and MIX settings. For the truly authentic kind of spin
that a Leslie delivers, you'll want to set the MIX knob to max,
since a Leslie had no 'dry' path.
