Moth Electric Unveils M. Stellatarum Tremolo: A Multi-Mode Modulation Powerhouse for Guitarists!
Meet the Moth Electric M. Stellatarum Tremolo: a multi-mode optical tremolo with 4 modes, 8 waveforms, tap tempo, and an onboard boost.
Boutique pedal builder Moth Electric is expanding its critically acclaimed lineup of "dirt" pedals by diving headfirst into the world of modulation with the release of the M. Stellatarum Tremolo. This highly versatile, all-analog optical tremolo promises to be essential for guitarists seeking everything from vintage-style pulse to experimental rhythmic textures.
Tremolo Reimagined: 32 Sonic Combinations
The M. Stellatarum stands out immediately for its sheer range of tonal possibilities. Featuring an all-analog signal path and built around David Rolo's ingenious design, the pedal offers four distinct tremolo modes and eight unique waveforms, resulting in a massive 32 possible mode/waveform combinations.
Key Features & Modes:
- Four Modes of Operation:
- Amp: Classic volume-modulating tremolo, delivering that warm, familiar vintage amp pulse.
- Harm: Lush, vintage-inspired Harmonic Tremolo that modulates high and low frequencies independently for a beautiful, swirling effect.
- Bass: A surgical mode that modulates only the low frequencies, keeping your high notes clear and unaffected.
- Treb: The opposite of Bass, modulating only the high frequencies for a unique, bright modulation.
- Eight Waveforms: From the foundational to the experimental, the eight selections offer a wide sonic palette, including Sawtooth, Reverse Sawtooth, Square, Triangle, Sine, Hypertriangle, Reverse Hypertriangle, and a Random level generator.
Built for the Stage: Tap Tempo and Onboard Boost
Designed with the performing musician in mind, the M. Stellatarum is equipped with essential live-friendly features:
- Tap Tempo: Allows for hands-free rate manipulation with four selectable subdivisions: 1/2 notes, 1/4 notes, 1/8 notes, and 1/16 notes.
- Onboard Pre-Amp Boost: A neutral-voiced pre-amp is built right in, offering enough clean gain to push your amp into natural breakup without overly coloring your core tremolo tone.
- Dedicated Tone Control: A separate Tone knob lets players dial in the perfect sweet spot for each mode, helping to tame overly harsh or boomy frequencies.
USA Hand-Built Quality
Consistent with Moth Electric's commitment to quality, the M. Stellatarum is hand-built in the USA using premium through-hole components. The pedal features true bypass switching and top-mounted jacks for easy integration onto even the most crowded pedalboards. The M. Stellatarum Tremolo is available now for $219.99 at mothelectric.com.
