The Kodiak is a tap-tempo tremolo built around classic Vox and Black Face tremolo sounds, with five controls: Volume, Speed, Mix, Ratio and Wave. Wave picks one of four shapes. Sine is the classic amp-style pulse, Square chops harder, Ramp warbles, and Rhythmic sets up a pattern that works across different time signatures.
Tempo comes from the Speed knob or the onboard tap switch, and Ratio locks the tremolo to quarter notes, eighth notes, triplets or sixteenth notes of whatever you tapped. A Tap/Expression jack on the right side takes an external tap switch or an expression pedal, chosen with the TAP/EXP switch on the left. Mix runs from fully clean to fully wet, and with Mix all the way down the Volume knob works as a boost on its own.
The 3 Series Harmonic Trem gets you amp tremolo with three knobs and a toggle. The Kodiak is the one for players who need the tremolo locked to the tempo of the song, with subdivisions and four wave shapes to work with. Built in Kansas City.
