Repeat Percussion
Calling all vintage gear enthusiasts and psychedelic rock aficionados! Prepare to be transported back in time with the GEM Repeat Percussion, a true sonic time capsule from the 1960s. This unassuming plug-in module packs a punch that has left an indelible mark on some of the most iconic recordings in rock history. At the heart of the Repeat Percussion lies a reverse sawtooth waveform, a distinctive amplitude modulation that sets it apart from conventional tremolo circuits. Rather than the smooth, undulating pulses of a typical tremolo, the Repeat Percussion delivers a sharp, percussive attack followed by a rapid decay, creating a "choppy," almost mechanical stutter effect. This unique character has become synonymous with the psychedelic and garage rock sounds of the era, heard on classics like The Electric Prunes' "I Had Too Much to Dream (Last Night)" and Spacemen 3's "How Does It Feel?" Simplicity is key with the Repeat Percussion, featuring just an on/off switch and a rate control to dial in the perfect modulation speed, from slow pulsing to rapid, machine-like chopping. Its compact, plug-in design allows for seamless integration with your guitar, making it a breeze to incorporate this vintage gem into your rig. Whether you're chasing the sonic signatures of your musical heroes or simply seeking a distinctive modulation effect to add some vintage flair to your sound, the GEM Repeat Percussion is a must-have for any guitar aficionado. Embrace the past and unlock a new world of sonic possibilities with this iconic pedal.
