Summary

Description

DeArmond Tremolo Control

In case you didn't know, the DeArmond Tremolo Control really is the ultimate vintage effect. It predated the Maestro Fuzz Tone FZ-1 (1962) by more than a decade. There's a nice scan of a vintage advertisement at the Carvin museum. Dan Formosa also has put up some information.

There are no transistors whatsoever in this box. It's all mechanical.

Overall, the effect is in very, very good condition considering the fact that it's probably fifty years old. There are some scratches, but that's all.
