JHS Pedals Kodiak Tremolo Effects Pedal with Tap Tempo

General

Do you like classic tremolo sounds but prefer the extensive options of modern effect pedals? Great news! In the Kodiak, JHS have combined the best of both worlds plus and have even fitted an EXP/TAP input. This stompbox is perfect for guitarists looking for fresh tonal flavours and, once linked up with a footswitch, lets you make super-fast tempo adjustments. Of course, the speed parameter can also be manually adjusted via the speed pot.

The JHS Kodiak: Four Different Rhythmic Feels and Waveforms

Besides a set of trusty volume and mix controls, this true bypass pedal from JHS features another two controls labelled Ratio and Wave. The first lets you select one of four different note values (quarter notes, eighths, triplets and sixteenths), which means that next to the proper tempo, the Kodiak also puts you in control of the rhythmic feel of the tremolo effect. The Wave control provides four waveform options: Sine, Square, Ramp and Rhythmic Wave. Sine brings that well-known waving sound, Square adds a little stutter to the vibrations, and Ramp can be selected when you're looking for a gorging sound. If you're not afraid to experiment with loose and funky rhythms, then you'll definitely want to try out the fourth option that JHS has appropriately titled 'Rhythmic Wave'.
