The Rising Sun is an optical tremolo pedal that expands on the technology found in vintage amplifiers. The intuitive interface features volume, waveform, and depth controls for a warm-analog tremolo experience. The Rising Sun includes two modes of operation: tap and ramp. Tap mode implements four sub-divisions for tap-tempo capability. Ramp mode allows for smooth transition between two selectable tremolo speeds.
V2 Updates:
• Updated layout for improved control over your sound. • +13 dB of boost for dynamic preamp capabilities. • Expanded rate control for wider range of speeds. • Half-note division to access slower tremolo speeds. • Optional 9-18VDC operation for expanded headroom. • Lower noise for optimal performance. • Updated bypass design to maintain signal integrity.
Features:
• Analog-optical tremolo provides vintage tremolo sounds. • Intuitive interface with volume, waveform, and depth controls for tone shaping. • Tap mode with multiple sub-divisions to sync tremolo speed to the tempo of your environment. • Ramp mode allows for smooth transition between two selectable tremolo speeds. • 9-18VDC operation for expanded headroom. • Smart switching system that provides standard on/off latching and momentary operation. • Top-mounted instrument and power jacks designed to save pedalboard space. • Buffered-bypass design to optimize signal integrity with any instrument cable length.

About the Artwork:
The Rising Sun is a tribute to my Blackfeet (Amsskaapipiikuni) heritage. The Blackfeet were nomadic, but their movement wasn’t aimless. They traveled with a purpose, knowing where food and resources were plentiful. The teepee (niitoy-yiss) served as shelter because of its ability to fit the nomadic lifestyle of the Blackfeet. When setting up camp, the Blackfeet pitched their teepee doors towards the eastern sky. Every morning, the Blackfeet would open their doors so that their prayers could travel to the Rising Sun, which would help the sun (Natosi) reach above the horizon for another day. The Rising Sun artwork looks towards the eastern sky as the sun rises over the horizon.
