Do you need tap tempo for tremolo?

Tremolo pedals almost always have a rate knob, yet many of them have no way to control that knob outside of adjusting it by hand. A tap tempo and dual speed control are the two primary ways to get around that, allowing you to control the rate of the tremolo effect with your foot.

Do I need a tremolo pedal?

If you’re after a warbly, underwater type sound with an undulating and motion then go for a Vibrato pedal. If you’re after a more stuttery, staccato pulse then you should consider a Tremolo pedal.

Does tremolo go before or after delay?

In general, the tremolo should go last in all the modulation effects, after chorus, phaser, or flanger. By placing the tremolo before both the delay and reverb pedal, it will only affect the dry part of your sound, leaving the delay and reverb to sound even wilder.

What is tap tempo mixer?

In short: Vibrato deals with change in pitch. Tremolo deals with change in volume. True vibrato is most often achieved either manually or mechanically.
