The Loma Prieta by Coppersound is an expressive tremolo pedal that offers a variety of sounds through its four waveshapes and Tap Tempo functionality. Primarily designed as a Harmonic Tremolo reminiscent of vintage tube-driven circuits, it can easily switch to a traditional tremolo mode, indicated by a change in the Tap LED color.
Musically, the Loma Prieta produces a range of tremolo effects, from smooth and subtle to more pronounced modulations. The onboard Grit control allows you to introduce varying levels of warmth and saturation, enhancing your tone with rich character.
Additionally, you can connect an expression pedal to sweep the rate or use an external tap tempo controller to synchronize with other gear. This flexibility also allows the Tap switch to trigger unique momentary effects like Lo-Fi, Feedback Distortion, and Double-Time modes, making the Loma Prieta suitable for both classic and innovative tremolo sounds.
