The "MODERATO," a superb tremolo that blends seamlessly with your amp, is now available in limited quantities!

Tremolo has a long history as a guitar effect, having been built into amplifiers since the 1950s, but MODERATO's warm and truly musical tremolo blends seamlessly into the amplifier as an integral part of it.
It allows switching between two types of waveforms, and in M ​​mode, it brilliantly reproduces the behavior of a bias tremolo, where the modulation changes depending on the magnitude of the input signal! The way the modulation gradually strengthens and stabilizes from the start of the sound to the sustain is so realistic that you might mistake it for a traditional American amplifier!
The sine wave mode always produces a constant oscillation, resulting in an effective optical tremolo-like sound similar to that of a Blackface guitar.

Many guitarists have been troubled by the volume changes in the bypassed sound that are common with tremolo effects, but the MODERATO features an output volume that can be varied in both the attenuation and amplification directions,
By deliberately setting the tone towards decay, this vintage-inspired design allows for practical sound shaping while maintaining clarity and projection.

The DEEP knob allows you to adjust the emphasis of the tremolo's wet sound; at minimum, it sounds like it's playing behind the original sound, while at maximum, it produces a sound image equivalent to the original sound.
The subtle changes, yet the way you gradually discover your preferred sound as you play, perfectly showcase the unique and appealing qualities of HUMAN GEAR!

An extremely rare HUMAN GEAR tremolo!
Please enjoy it to the fullest!

We've created a tremolo effect that rivals the tremolo sounds of the GIBSON GA8T and MAGNATONE 280.
When you plug it into MODERATO, the sound will blend naturally, with depth, and into a high-quality ensemble without getting lost in the mix.
A thick tremolo is especially necessary for gentle curves. Often, the tremolo is simply applied without making the song more memorable.
The MODERATO has a volume control. Its purpose is to compensate for the perceived decrease in volume experienced when the tremolo is turned on. Since this volume is linked to the DEPTH control, you'll need to find the optimal setting using both controls.
DEEP is used to add thickness to the tremolo sound.
The LO/HI switch allows you to greatly vary the rate speed. Additionally, you can select between two different waveforms.
