Cusack Music Tap-a-Whirl V4 - Analog Tap Tempo Tremolo
Backstory:
The world's first tap-tempo tremolo pedal, the Tap-A-Whirl, had to be discontinued due to part availability.
The particular obsolete vactrol we used was the heart of the pedal. We searched far and wide for a replacement, to no avail. We had to work with part vendors to produce a special component that could meet our specifications. Now, after much ado, the Tap-A-Whirl is back. The new component allows for even faster tempos than the original Tap-A-Whirl. While we were at it, we added some serious upgrades to the user interface and feature set. The Tap-A-Whirl V4 is the most advanced tap-tempo tremolo pedal known to man.
The latest version of the world's first Tap-Tempo tremolo - the V4.
- Fully Analog
- 24 waveforms
- Full stereo signal path
- Digital presets, 4 banks with two presets each
- Tap-Tempo
- Speed brake up and down speed controls
- Right output phase control
-
Dedicated Exp./Tap/Sync input
- Auto-detects input type
- Option knob for tempo divide, fade in control and more
- Basic Depth, Level and Rate controls
- Configurable expression
- Live mode and Preset mode
POWER
• Standard 9v DC, center negative power supply
• Current draw ~22mA
OTHER SPECS
• Buffered bypass based on Cusack More Louder
• 4.75” x 3.85” x 2.25” (L x D x H)
24 Waveforms
3 Banks A,B,C
We've included the most common waveforms, as well as some truely unique and bizarre ones.
The odd time signatures in bank C are especially useful. Each waveform is very interactive with the tempo divide feature.
Preset System:
We took our digital preset system from the Resound and integrated it into the Tap-A-Whirl, keeping the audio path fully analog. Saving and recalling presets is now a breeze. With a few clicks of the feet, a new preset is stored.
V4 features dedicated, directional Brake footswitches.
