AQUARIUS - OPTICAL TREMOLO

The first “guitar effects” were the result of molesting amp speakers with razorblades, thus resulting in a distorted sound. Once people discovered that there were other ways to change your guitar sound, the tremolo was soon born. There were two ways to achieve this trick, the first was changing the bias of the amp's tubes (try that with your Leo Germanium Fuzz and you'll get the point) and the other was based on a lamp and a photocell. It's this method that's being used for the Aquarius Optical Tremolo.
