THE TREMOLATOR CONTROL PANEL - TWEAK MENU
added. As you increase the Depth Mod amount, the basic Depth setting
will be ‘biased’ (scaled back a bit) to allow for the desired increase in
modulation to occur and you may hear some decrease in the basic
Depth setting as you turn this knob up. Again, it all depends on how
much Depth Mod you are trying to add relative to the initial setting of
the front panel Depth knob.
This behavior may also occur in reverse when you turn the control
counter clockwise to dynamically lower the tremolo depth. If there is no
Depth set on the front panel it is clearly not possible to take any away.
So if the Depth control is set to zero some will be added as you turn the
Depth Mod knob counter-clockwise.

WIDTH
The Width parameter controls the stereo spread of Tremolator’s output.
When set to the minimum value (or off) tremolo effects will remain
centered in the stereo field. As the Width control is turned up, the
stereo image will get wider and wider. When the Width control is turned
past the 3 o’clock position, “out of phase” information is used that
moves the delay signal outside the speakers in a pseudo-super-stereo
spread. Always test wide effects in mono (if needed) as they may not
always translate to a mono version of your mix.
ANALOG STYLE
There are 7 different available Analog Style algorithms that determine
the saturation characteristics of Tremolator. The different styles
impart a certain amount of distortion to the signal, relative to the style
selected, at all signal levels. The Analog Style options are as follows:
• Clean - Maximum non-distorted range, with fairly hard
clipping
• Fat - Smooth low-frequency distortion
• Squash - Similar to above but more compressed
• Dirt - Smooth broadband saturation
• Crunch - Exaggerated high-end clipping
• Shred - Lots of asymmetrical clipping
• Pump - Extreme pumping compression
