Supro restyles Dual Mode Amplitude + Harmonic Tremolo pedal

January 16, 2024 · 2 sources

Supro has refreshed its Dual Mode Amplitude + Harmonic Tremolo with a smoother, more modern enclosure and milled aluminum knobs, replacing the brushed finish, stylized silver-tops and easy-access battery compartment¹. The report is dated January 16, 2024¹.

The pedal keeps its four controls: Depth, Gain, Speed and Mode, with the Mode switch selecting Amplitude or Harmonic¹. A preamp section controlled by the Gain knob warms the output and adds texture, which the report describes as distinct from most of the pedal's tremolo peers¹. A separate account of the tremolo pedal says it has preamp and power amp sections with an output transformer, and that turning up Gain pushes the power amp circuit into overdrive while the output level is compensated². That account also says a TRS expression pedal can control speed, with the on-board Speed knob setting the maximum value when one is connected, and that a pulsing LED indicates the rate².

The battery option remains on the Drive pedal, according to the report¹. The pedal is available from the Supro Webstore for $219, with international dealers described as imminent¹.

The report's author wrote that the new look is less immediately identifiable than the original.

The same report calls the pedal simple and intuitive to deploy and says its signature tone is intact¹. The second account, updated January 17, 2025, describes Supro as a vintage brand owned and re-launched by Pigtronix and says the pedal recreates the sound of an amp inside the pedal, giving a tremolo with the harmonic character of 1960s guitar amps².
