When you think tremolo, certain images pop into one's mind: Rockabilly, Brian Setzer, Chris Isaak, etc. But listen carefully and you'll find that tremolo is everywhere in small and large doses. It's an essential part of rock music, and if you're not using tremolo it's really worth your consideration.
The JHS Honeycomb is a straightforward affair with the following controls:
-
Volume
-
Depth
-
Speed
-
Hi/Lo speed switch for two different speed ranges
-
Pulsing LED to indicate Tremolo Rate
-
On/Off LED
-
Uses a standard 9V power supply, tip negative (Not included. We recommend using an Isolated power supply like the Pedal Power or BBE Supa Charger)
By using the speed and depth controls, the JHS Honeycomb can evoke a range emotions. At low speed and shallow depth it provides a relaxed, soothing pulse like gentle waves breaking on the shore. Add more depth or more speed and the sound becomes more urgent and energetic. Crank it up even more and it sounds like you've had six cups of Espresso. Like any good effect, use it in moderation and you'll be amazed at the dimension and feeling it brings to your playing.
Like all JHS pedals, it is hand built in the USA, solidy made, and reasonably priced. Spend some time with the JHS Tremolo and you'll wonder why you did not buy one long ago. So unless you've got a blackface reverb stashed in your guitar room, your pedal is waiting....
