The Carl Martin Surf Trem is a tremolo effects pedal designed for a smaller pedal board footprint. It features a vintage tremolo circuit derived from the CM Tremovibe, with simple 'speed' and 'depth' controls reminiscent of old tube amps. The pedal is housed in a retro heavy diecast case and includes a heavy- duty bypass switch. The Surf Trem is known for producing lush 50s Fenderish style tremolo effects with a smooth wave form and deep swish. It is praised for its ability to achieve classic tremolo tones without coloring the tone or adding noise. The pedal is designed to replicate the tremolo circuit found in vintage tweed Fender Bandmasters, with a wider range of speed settings and the ability to produce a deeper effect. The Surf Trem operates at 9V DC and has a power consumption of 28 mA. The input impedance is 200kOhm, and the signal-to- noise ratio is 60dB. The pedal's dimensions are 112 x 60 x 47 mm, and it weighs 220 g.
