Axiom CT-1 Classic Tremolo Effects
Analog Tremolo Pedal for Vintage and Modern Guitarists
The Axiom CT-1 Classic Tremolo is a versatile pedal that delivers a range of tremolo effects, from the choppy pulse of vintage tube amps to the smooth oscillation of modern stompboxes.
Key Features:
- True bypass for transparent tone when not engaged
- Extended SPEED, DEPTH, and LEVEL ranges for precise control
- SHAPE control to adjust from choppy to sinusoidal to triangular waveforms
- BULB SKEW control to emulate the thermal response of incandescent or neon bulbs
- RAMP control to tailor the rise and fall rate of the tremolo effect

AXIOM CLASSIC TREMOLO CT-1
The AXiom Classic Tremolo CT-1 is an optical tremolo designed to produce
the classic tremolo of vintage tube amps and analog pedals but with extended
SPEED, DEPTH and LEVEL ranges, and the ability to shape the tremolo
response just about any way you wish. It features both “standard” and
authentic “harmonic” tremolo modes. The SHAPE control allows you to
adjust the effect from the choppy pulse of the neon bulb tremolos of the
1960s ‘blackface’ amps, to the smooth, swampy sine wave oscillation of the
bias-shifting and harmonic tremolos of early Fender, Vox and Marshall amps,
to the triangular waveform used in classic stompbox tremolo pedals. There's
also a RAMP control that lets you tailor how dramatic the tremolo effect is,
from ‘normal’ right up to all-out square wave on-off oscillation. The LEVEL
control balances your tremolo signal with your bypassed volume and can
double as a completely transparent clean boost with the DEPTH control
dialed back. The BULB SKEW control allows you to adjust the oscillation
character from that of an incandescent bulb through neutral (symmetrical
thermal response) to a neon bulb.

LEVEL: Increases the output volume level as the knob is turned clockwise.
DEPTH: Increases the intensity of the tremolo effect as the knob is turned
clockwise. In the fully counter-clockwise position there will be no effect at all,
allowing the CT-1 to be used as a completely transparent clean boost.
SPEED: Increases the oscillation rate of the tremolo effect as the knob is
turned clockwise.
SHAPE: Adjusts the character of the tremolo oscillation from choppy to
sinusoidal to triangular as the knob is turned clockwise. ‘Blackface’ amps
with neon bulb tremolos tended to have choppy behaviour, bias-shifting and
harmonic tremolos of the l950s and ’60s amps tended to be more sinusoidal,
and many classic tremolo pedals used triangular oscillation.
BULB: Adjusts the thermal response characteristics (rise/fall asymmetry) of
the bulb emulation from that of an indandescent bulb to a neon bulb as the
knob is turned clockwise.
RAMP: Increases the rise and fall rate of the tremolo effect as the knob
isturned clockwise. In the fully clockwise position the tremolo effect will
pulse abruptly on and off.
HARMONIC/STANDARD: Toggles between “standard” and
“harmonic” tremolo modes.
