The Fulltone Supa-Trem ST-1 and the JHS Tidewater Tremolo are both pedals sharing spring, modulated. Current prices: $99 vs $148.

Similarity
citedBlended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.

Description

The Fulltone Supa-Trem ST-1 is a true tube-driven tremolo pedal producing warm, organic, vintage-style volume modulation with genuine tube character rather than a digitally simulated pulse. Volume and Speed controls shape the pulse, and an optional ramp function lets the tremolo speed accelerate or decelerate smoothly rather than switching abruptly between rates. Its tube circuit gives the pulse a rounder, more musical shape at both slow, deep settings and fast, choppy speeds compared to solid-state tremolo circuits. It suits players wanting authentic, amp-like tube tremolo character in pedal form, particularly for vintage surf, blues, and classic rock tones.

The JHS Tidewater is a compact optical tremolo pedal that faithfully recreates the warm, vintage amp tremolo character of classic tube amplifiers. Three controls — Volume (output level), Mix (tremolo depth from none to fully wet), and Speed (rate of oscillation) — are complemented by an LED indicator that pulses in sync with the tremolo speed. The Tidewater produces smooth, musical amplitude modulation without the hard-edged choppy character of square-wave tremolo designs. True bypass.
