I should know this...I used to know it.

Doesn't it have something to do with phase and 0 degrees. I just can't get what I want. I want a 100% in and out tremolo.

1. Use autopan, set phase to zero

2. Adjust amount+rate to whatever you want

3. Rock some mean surf guitar.

tremolo on a real instrument is cause by slight pitch bends when you wiggle the string back and forth, not from panning.

that is actually incorrect and was caused by Leo Fender calling the whammy bar on the stratocaster a tremolo bar. It should be more accurately called a vibrato bar. What you're thinking about is vibrato. tremolo is the volume going up and down.

pwned

TANKS!

sine wave modulating amplitude...

haha no worries.. surgery? Really we should be cursing at Leo Fender although i love his guitars.

Yeah, I always get yelled at it when I refer to it as a "Tremolo Bar," even thought I'm half right because despite the fact that it doesn't make the tremolo effect, that's still a name for it.

nothing wrong with calling it a "tremolo bar" it's just wrong to say it does "tremolo" effect

to be correct:

tremolo effect ist not the same as tremolo on an (acoustic) instrument.

tremolo efx: periodic change of volume/change of pan

tremolo on an instrument: repeating the same note as fast as possible (like a trill without changing pitch)

But but... it's a whammy bar man, you need a Stratocaster with whammy bar.

Funnily enuff, tremelo is the thing you get on Fender amps, which is volume. Poor old Leo must have been a confused chap.

to be fair though he wasn't a musician.

I've changed the name of all my tremolo arms to 'Dave'.

Saves the confusion.
