Introducing the NEW Shotmaker The Heartbeat Tremolo 🎉

For the longest time I thought tremolos felt sterile and a bit boring. But then I started to play tremolo pedals that had built-in preamps or were paired with some type of overdrive circuit and everything changed. The tremolo effect comes to life with warmth and richness, a character and personality of its own that makes the effect interesting and dynamic.

Today we're checking out the Shotmaker Instruments The Heartbeat - a beautiful boutique tremolo pedal that features a full preamp section and a great sounding tremolo with 6 wave shapes to choose from. It's a tap tempo tremolo with tons of versatility - from the subtle sway of a sine wave tremolo to the stutter and irregularity of a random waveform tremolo, the Shotmaker Heartbeat is sure to impress guitarists across a number of genres and styles.

Enjoy the full demo of the Shotmaker Instruments The Heartbeat as we look at both preamp and tremolo tones and hear all 6 of the wave shape options!
