RPS Effects Introduces the Warp Drive and Tremulus Maximus Pedals
RPS Effects has announced the Warp Drive and Tremulus Maximus, a pair of all-analog pedals they describe as “providing options for the more adventurous player.” Each pedal features expression inputs for adjusting parameters on the fly.
The Warp Drive is a delay pedal that offers up to 900ms of delay time and a Warp feature that varies the delay time based on your playing. “While the character of the delay itself makes it unique, when using the more extreme Warp settings the experimentally-inclined amongst you will be creating sounds you’ve most likely never encountered before from an effects pedal,” RPS states.
The Tremulus Maximus is an amplitude modulator pedal with an optical modulation circuit. “The ‘Rate’ control spans a huge range of modulation frequencies, from sub-audio tremolo well up into the audio range, resulting in an effect similar to ring modulation,” the company writes. Other features include indicator LEDs and an Auto function that varies the rate with your playing.
The RPS Effects Warp Drive and Tremulus Maximus are available direct with prices of $299.00 and $220.00, respectively.

Has anyone used this Warp pedal? I’m wondering if it’s similar to the warp patch on the old Korg DL8000R, where you can set the delay time at the longest time, crank it forward some, then slow it down a litter further than the first time….?
