Fractal Audio AMP models: Supremo Trem (Supro 1964T Dual-Tone)

Not that it is a problem as I can just use a pan/trem block.

Hi Sprint. Thanks for the reply. I have the FM3 and there are no tremelo settings on those tabs, or any of the tabs. All a bit weird.

The tremolo that’s built into the Amp block is an extra-horsepower feature that’s not available in the FM3. It’s actually a bias tremolo, unlike the trem that’s built into the Supro. So yeah, use the Trem block, and you’re golden.

Cheers, thanks Rex.

Always wondered if amp bias tremolo is somehow different that using the trem block on the bias setting. Sounds the same to me with trem block before amp, but I guess there could be differences in how the amp trem sounds due to it's position inside the power amp section's inerds.

It's similar, but different. It has the same easy, "organic" wash going on. But the bias trem in the Trem block doesn't affect power-amp nonlinearity, and that can make a difference — especially when you're pushing the power amp hard.
