The Earthquaker Devices Hummingbird V4 is the last incarnation of their popular tremolo pedal. Get access to classic 50s style tremolo sound to more modern style trem effects!
The Hummingbird is based on a classic sawtooth tremolo"repeat percussion" unit. Earthquaker have worked their usual magic and with the simple, yet effective on-board control setup given players access to vintage style shimmering tremolo effects to more choppy, synth style tones.
The Depth knob controls how much the oscillator affects the signal, fully clockwise for fully choppy sounds, wind it back for more subtleness. The Rate allows you to adjust the speed of the oscillator, whilst Level set the output volume. A 3-way mini toggle switch adds versatility, with 1 (slow), 2 (mid-tempo) or 3 (fast) - these combined with adjusting the Rate and Depth knobs gives access to a new world amplitude modulation! The pedal also has the ability to connect an expression pedal, giving you live control of the rate.
There is also a footswitch, but no ordinary footswitch! Utilizing their Flexi-Switch technology you can either quickly tap the footswitch for regular latching operation OR for momentary operation hold the footswitch down -great for dipping into 1 note/chord effects!
