Beetronics FX released the Tuna Trem, a nine-mode pattern tremolo in its Tuna Can Pedal format, on October 1, 2026, according to Guitar Pedal X¹. The pedal follows the Tuna Fuzz in the same can-shaped enclosure¹. The maker's page lists it as a pre-order that ships October 27th².

The Tuna Trem offers nine "species" of amplitude, from classic waves to patterns and volume swells². The maker describes the circuit as an analog VCA tremolo with digital control, and says the signal path is 100 percent analog². Controls are a species selector and a speed knob; depth is adjusted by holding the footswitch and turning the speed knob, and each species saves its own depth setting². The pedal draws 50mA and uses a center-negative power supply².

Species 8 produces no sound unless the footswitch is held, and species 9 keeps the pedal always on, with the footswitch muting the signal². The maker says the pedal works at either the beginning or the end of a signal chain². The enclosure is a hand-drilled real tuna can, according to the maker².

Guitar Pedal X gives the price as $129.99 and reports the pedal is available for order on the Beetronics webstore¹. Guitar Pedal X raised a concern about the lack of a level control, writing that "most tremolos typically need a level control to compensate for reduced output variable amplitude impact"¹.

The Tuna Trem is a tremolo pedal¹.
