Hi All,
Disclaimer - I have never used a real bias tremolo, that i am aware of.
Just been playing around with the new bias trem feature and some amps sound really amazing ("peli cachu sanctaidd" - Welsh for you know what!) with it and some sound, well .. just erm "balls"?
I am guessing that this is just due to the circuits of that amps and the way the Tremelo circuits interacts. therefore some amps will sound inherently better than others.
Are there any general guidelines as to what amps will sound better or worse?
I assumed vintage fender types would be best suited, but that does not seem the complete answer in the limited testing i have done....although the amount of gain seems to have an impact ... the cleaner the better.
Clean on the Princeton or 59 Bassman sounds amazing...but when you get to on the edge of break up you get this odd unpleasing distorting ghost like notes.
is it just that Bias Trem sounds better on clean amps, or should I be looking at specific amp types?
Thanks in Advance
EDIT:-
just noticed this .....Firmware 10 release notes: "Based on a Swart Atomic Space Tone. As with the actual amp the bias tremolo is particularly effective"
