CMATMods Tremoglo
Cmatmods · pedal
CMAT Mods, founded by Chad Matthews and later developed further with pedal builder Greg Blessing, built the Tremoglo as an all-analog tremolo pedal capturing the warm, smooth pulse found in vintage amplifier tremolo circuits, deliberately avoiding the audible clicking or popping some tremolo designs produce when switching on and off. Beyond standard Depth, Speed, and Level controls, a three-way toggle switches an onboard LED on or off to visually flash in time with the tremolo's speed, or moves to a center position that disengages the tremolo modulation entirely and turns the circuit into a clean boost or preamp instead, giving the pedal genuine dual functionality beyond its tremolo effect alone.
