Martinic Colorsound Tremolo

Description

Overview

The Martinic Colorsound Tremolo is a precision software recreation of the legendary Colorsound Tremolo effect pedal. Authorized and tested by Macaris, this plugin captures the exact sonic characteristics of a pedal favored by iconic artists such as Green Day, Joe Bonamassa, and Phil Manzanera, bringing that classic modulation to your digital workstation.
