The Schimmer - Tremolo
Unleash the Vintage Shimmer: The North Effects The Schimmer Tremolo Step back in time with the North Effects The Schimmer, a lovingly crafted tribute to the iconic Schaller Tr 316 Tremolo. This all-transistor marvel has been a staple in the rigs of discerning guitarists since the 1950s, capturing the smooth, shimmering textures that defined the golden age of vintage tone. Meticulously engineered by the North Effects team, this pedal stays true to the essence of the original, while addressing some of its limitations. Gone are the plastic housing and non-true bypass design, replaced by a rugged aluminum enclosure and pristine signal path. The controls are simple yet powerful, allowing you to dial in the perfect tremolo pulse, from vintage-inspired softness to more aggressive, pulsing modulation. The real magic lies in the "Speed" toggle, which not only shifts the tremolo rate but also adjusts the waveform shape. In the slow range, you'll experience a square-edged chop that evokes classic surf and country tones, while the fast setting unleashes a silky, sinusoidal shimmer that's perfect for psychedelic explorations. Whether you're chasing the shimmering ambiance of The Edge or the pulsing rhythms of Stevie Ray Vaughan, the North Effects The Schimmer puts a modern spin on a timeless effect. Plug in, get lost in the hypnotic motion, and let this tremolo pedal transport you to the golden age of guitar tone.
