What is Tremolo?

Tremolo is one kind of effect that can be run by GearBox’s Mod (Modulation) Effect. Tremolo produces a pulsing sound. It works by turning the volume of your input down and back up again repeatedly, at the speed set for the tremolo. For details on each of the Tremolo controls, move your mouse over the control and look in the Info Bar at the bottom of the GearBox window.

Many of the effects are modeled after classic gear described in the Model Gallery.

USB hubs are known to sometimes cause communication errors for audio devices, which require a nice fast, uninterrupted flow of audio data.
