BOSS TR-2 Tremolo Effects Pedal

The BOSS TR-2 tremolo effects pedal conjures up a sea of classic tremolo sounds with modern flair. Whether you're craving the pulsing throb of vintage amp tremolos or contemporary pulsations, the TR-2 delivers in spades. At its heart lies an analog circuit with a wave knob to morph between triangular and square waveforms—the former for a smooth undulation and the latter for a choppier churn. The rate knob sweeps from a leisurely roll to a frantic churn, while depth controls the intensity of the effect.

Analog Circuitry Provides Authentic Tone

The TR-2 is built around an analog circuit, the key to producing the resonant, dimensional tremolo tones guitarists crave. Where some pedals rely on digital modeling for tremolo effects, the TR-2 generates them the old-fashioned way. The result is a far more convincing replication of the tremolo circuits found in vintage amps.

Wave Knob Offers a Spectrum of Sounds

At the heart of the TR-2's analog circuitry lies a low-frequency oscillator that produces the tremolo effect. The wave knob lets you manipulate the oscillator's waveform, transitioning from a smooth, rounded triangle wave to a square wave with definite peaks and valleys. The triangle wave emits a gentle, pulsing throb perfect for surf rock and spaghetti western tones. The square wave churns out a choppier, more dramatic tremolo ideal for psychedelic and experimental sounds.

Rate and Depth Knobs Provide Precise Control

The rate knob determines the speed of the TR-2's tremolo effect, ranging from a leisurely 0.5 cycles per second to a frantic 10 cycles per second. This high degree of variability means you can match the TR-2's rate to the tempo of any song. The depth knob controls how intensely the tremolo effect modulates your signal, from a subtle undulation to an intense throb. Dial in as much or as little depth as you'd like.

Roadworthy and Ready to Rock

The TR-2 tremolo pedal is housed in BOSS's rugged compact casing, ready to withstand the rigors of the road, studio and stage. It runs on a 9V battery or optional power supply, allowing you to enjoy its tremolo tones anywhere your music takes you.
