Black Rabbit · pedal
The Black Rabbit Little Earthquakes is an analog tremolo pedal based on the vintage Colorsound tremolo circuit from the 1970s, modified for lower noise, faster speed range, and higher output volume compared to the original. Uses authentic analog LFO tremolo with speed and depth controls. The noise filtering improvements over the Colorsound original make it suitable for studio and live use. Runs on 9V DC, center negative. Well-suited for vintage rock, country, blues, and indie genres seeking warm, pulsing tremolo character.
