The Cusack Music Tap-A-Whirl is the world's first analog tremolo pedal with Tap Tempo built in.

Here are the major features of the pedal (see the manual for more details):

• Tap your foot twice on the tempo switch to set the tempo.
• Choose from 8 predefined wave forms, including: sine, ramp, blip, bleep, square, waver, echo, and ping pong
• Adjust the depth of the tremolo.
• Brake: You can speed up or slow down the tempo by holding the tempo switch down.
• The third knob can be configured to do one of two functions:
  1. Fade in the tremolo effect, or
  2. Change the speed at which the tempo is adjusted using the brake function.
  This is set by moving a jumper, which is included with the pedal. The default setting is to change the tempo adjust speed.
