Rising Sun - Tap Tempo Optical Tremolo
The NativeAudio Rising Sun is a captivating analog-optical tremolo pedal that pays homage to the rich heritage of the American Great Plains. Designed by Mike Trombley, a member of the Blackfeet Nation, this pedal embodies the spirit of the indigenous cultures that once roamed the vast grasslands. At its core, the Rising Sun is an expertly crafted tremolo effect that expands on the technology found in vintage amplifiers. By harnessing digital control, it offers five distinct waveforms that can be explored in both Tap and Ramp modes. The Tap mode allows you to effortlessly sync the tremolo to your playing, with four available subdivisions to choose from. Meanwhile, the Ramp mode enables you to seamlessly transition between two user-defined tremolo speeds, emulating the hypnotic pulsation of a classic rotary speaker. What sets the Rising Sun apart is its deeply personal connection to the land and its people. The pedal's artwork, designed by Trombley himself, features a buffalo skull – a powerful symbol of the Blackfeet's reverence for the natural world and their reliance on the land. This visual storytelling, combined with the pedal's exceptional analog tone and versatile functionality, makes the Rising Sun a truly unique and captivating addition to any guitarist's arsenal. Whether you're chasing vintage-inspired tones or seeking to infuse your playing with a touch of indigenous spirit, the NativeAudio Rising Sun is a must-try tremolo pedal that will transport you to the vast, untamed beauty of the American Great Plains.
