Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.The Bookworm Effects Laughing Man is an optical tremolo pedal modeled on the tremolo and vibrato channels of vintage combo amplifiers. Version 3 delivers organic, lamp-and-LDR-driven tremolo modulation with Rate controlling speed and Depth controlling intensity of the effect. Capable of subtle slow warble through dramatic helicopter-chop pulsing. Handmade in Morgantown, West Virginia. Suited for vintage country, Americana, blues, surf rock, and clean-toned indie styles where organic amp-style tremolo character is preferred.
