Tremolo/Panner: supported by which Fractal Audio products

  • Axe-Fx II: yes.
  • AX8: yes.
  • FX8: yes.

Tremolo/Panner: X/Y support

The Tremolo/Panner block in the Axe-Fx II XL and XL+, the FX8 and the AX8 supports X/Y switching.

Depth is Mix

There's no Mix parameter In the Tremolo block. Depth is the same as Mix, because a tremolo's modulation is volume-based.

"Mix makes no sense in a tremolo as it is the same as reducing the depth." source

Start tremolo on the beat

You can make the Tremolo start on the beat (triggered) by using the Start Phase parameter.

Use other effects to create a tremolo effect

Amp block tremolo

The Amp block provides its own tremolo effect: Bias Tremolo. Its effect depends on the specific amp model.

Read more: AMP block.

Ring Modulator as a tremolo

You can configure the Ring Modulator to act as a tremolo, by turning down Frequency all the way.

Flanger as a tremolo

You can even turn a Flanger into a tremolo.

More information

  • When using a high gain amp tone, put Tremolo after the Amp block for more distinct tremolo.
  • You can make the Panner effect appear “fuller” and “wider” (stereo only) by adding the Stereo Enhancer behind it.
  • Create a shuffled tempo.
  • Create a "Flint" tremolo.
