Fuchs Plush Creme de la Trem Pedal and 1966 Fender Pro Reverb Amp Tremolo Comparison Demo

One shortcoming of the Blackface Fender amps are the photoresistor tremolos - great for relentless chop, bad for Brownface lush work, like my old '62 Fender Concert had. The Fuchs Plush Creme de la Trem tremolo pedal brings back that "harmonic vibrato" sound from the big iron Fender Brownface trem units. It's authentic and is as lush. Rick Kelly Bowery Pine Tele, on just the neck setting, which is a 1963 Gibson Firebird pickup. The pedal isn't in the pic because it's on my pedalboard, which is behind me. Studio Projects C1 Mic into an Apogee Duet to a Macbook White and Garageband.

i thought you were playing "a comet appears" by the shins, which is a pretty amazing song

[Jahnli]

@heusker the feel is pretty close, isn't it? There may be a Smiths to Shins influence in there after all.

[smartti1970]

the sound thrue youtube compression makes me like more the fender than the pedal! I dont know maybe different tastes or maybe psycho-acoustics or youtube compression..

always hard to tell.

Thanks for posting..

the brownface tremolo definitely is an odd bird. for warble i'd put it on an extreme end along with magnatone pitch shifting vibratos, and on the other end the more distinct chop of a photoresistor like in blackface amps. these days i like it down the middle, with a bias driven tremolo you'd find in smaller brownface amps and late tweeds. A Monster Effects Swamp Thang does the trick there.

[LXAccordian]

was that an original riff at :36 onwards?

[Jahnli]

It's my take on "There is a Light that Never Goes Out" by The Smiths.

[intrsoul]

+1000 for playing the Smiths.

[charles1967]

Great lick, nice tone.  It's interesting how touch sensitive it is.

[mikelawct]

sounds EXACTLY like my brown concert.

[lolhaha65]

wow that sounds pretty good on youtube, bet it sounds killer IRL.
