Tortuga Effects Galapagos Tremolo/Booster

Tortuga Effects Galapagos Tremolo/Booster

When I think of
tremolo the first thing that comes to mind is the warm, tube driven
"vibrato" from an old tube amp. With it's warm swell, and round pulse,
the tone of those amps are the epitome of the effect. The Galapagos
doesn't have switches for wave form or ramp or any of the bells and
whistles that most players never use. Instead, the Galapagos was
designed to emulate the beautiful, amp like sine wave pulse of those old
amps with straightforward Volume, Depth and Speed controls. The special
Thump control acts like an intensity knob adding more warmth and
allowing you to blend the pedal with your amp making it seem as if it
were built in. The controls on the Galapagos allow you to get a subtle
background wave for chordal color all the way to a thick, pulsing,
on-off like chop. A super bright LED pulses with the tempo of the effect
so, in a loop, you'll always know what speed you have coming.��


In addition to a beautiful tremolo, the
Galapagos also works as a smooth and dynamic volume booster. By turning
the Depth and Rate controls all the way down, the Volume and Thump
controls act like a signal booster that can be used to bump up a clean
tone for solos or can be put in front of a gained out amp to help push
it even harder. Simple versatility is the key to the Galapagos. It has
plenty of tone shaping capabilities but at it's core it has the heart of
an old tube amp vibrato.


All Reptile
Series pedals are hand built in house by me just like the rest of the
Tortuga line. I decided to apply the "one man shop" build approach to a
lesser expensive yet versatile line of pedals instead of farming them
out like so many other builders do.�
