Step Tremolo
Step Tremolo is a modulation effect exclusive to the Fender Tone Master Pro. It takes classic tremolo into stepped, sequenced territory, with control over the number of steps, step time, depth, smoothing, randomization, stereo spread, and a glitch option that can play a step at double or half speed. It is aimed at rhythmic, syncable amplitude patterns rather than a simple sine or square tremolo.
