Twin Trem – Dual Analog Tremolo Pedal – Jackson Audio

Image
The   Twin Trem   is a fully-analogue tremolo pedal designed to combine two classic modulation circuits into a single, flexible platform. By integrating harmonic and optical tremolo designs, it offers a wide range of rhythmic textures while maintaining a purely analogue signal path suitable for studio, rehearsal, and stage use. The pedal is engineered to support both traditional pedalboard layouts and more advanced signal-routing configurations, allowing musicians to explore tremolo placement and its interaction with other effects in a controlled, repeatable way. Dual Tremolo Architecture The Twin Trem features   two independent tremolo circuits , each with its own sonic character: The   Harmonic Tremolo   circuit delivers a rich, phase-shifted modulation inspired by classic amplifier-based designs. Its voicing produces a swirling, dimensional movement that interacts dynamically with the guitar signal. The   Optical Tremolo   circuit offers a smoother,...

The Optimist Dual Overdrive & EQ – Jackson Audio

Image
  The   Optimist Dual Overdrive & EQ   is a compact yet highly configurable analogue pedal designed to deliver a wide range of drive textures combined with precise tonal shaping. Built around two independent overdrive circuits and a studio-inspired equaliser section, it is intended for integration into both simple pedalboards and complex, MIDI-controlled rigs. The pedal combines traditional analogue design principles with modern routing and control options, allowing it to function as a dual overdrive, a tone-shaping tool, or a central gain stage within a professional guitar setup. Dual Overdrive Architecture The Optimist features   two distinct overdrive circuits , each designed with a specific tonal role: OD1   is based on a mid-focused overdrive topology inspired by classic boutique designs known for their natural response and dynamic interaction with guitar pickups. This circuit is voiced to emphasise presence and articulation, making it suitable for lead...
