Best analog tremolo effect on IOS?
I’m looking for old-school analog guitar amp style tremolo. I’ve got THU Overloud but the tremolo is missing something I can’t put a finger on. Does anyone have a favorite?
Comments
I like Bleass Dragonfly, but it’s not a typical old school effect.
My favorite: Drambo
A good and free AUv3: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/nesi-xtrem/id1553303748
Really nice find
For guitar I like Nembrini Analog Rack Tremolo. It’s pretty basic, but build-in preamp colors the tone in very pleasing way.
I have the xterm already. It’s cool, but I haven’t gotten a classic analog amp tremolo sound out of it.
Not bad. Playing with it now.
I wish there was an eq built into these to increase the “throb” effect some of the old amp trend had. It was more than just cutting volume or signal. They had a certain edge to the sound that hit you in the gut.
@Sabicas : what about the tremolo in the Nembrini Tiwin or AC-30 sims?
See, that's why I'm using Drambo. You've found an app that looks good, install it, try it and at some point there's often something missing - in my case, I wanted to have tremolo combined with auto-pan but panning following an almost rectangle LFO shape like Galliano used it on their Rhodes EP in an older track. Then filters, EQs, maybe some dirt ... you name it 😊
If you're thinking about the tremolo in Fender amps, that was a harmonic tremolo, which split the signal into two bands, bass and treble, and applied the tremolo effect to them in alternate phase.
You could create a similar effect in Saturn by making two bands and applying an XLFO to them in alternate phase (when the bass volume goes up, the treble volume goes down).
Here's a quick video showing how to do this in Saturn, you could use a different app if it lets you split the signal into bands:

Not really “old style” but I love the result and the simplicity.
Interesting, I didn’t know this is how that tremolo worked.
Saturn could work very well indeed for tremolos, besides the harmonic tremolo, you can also mess with panning, band separation, etc…
But I agree with @rs2000, Drambo is an excellent candidate for tremolo, can do all of the above and more. Like replicate the Dragonfly features. Very simple case is using an Envelope Follower you can, for example, let the initial note transient through and add tremolo as the note fades.
I like Total Tremolo in Logic.
(that's the one on the Mac, looks different on the iPad but obviously works the same)
