Trembling Radiator

A Godin Radiator guitar very lightly sampled through a tremolo effect

The story

Having followed Pianobook since it’s inception I thought it was high time I tried my hand at this sample making malarkey. My first experiment turned out better than I expected so I present to you The Trembling Radiator

My Godin Radiator guitar very lightly sampled through a tremolo effect on my Boss BR-80, both plucked and played with an Ebow plus 3 pads I made using those samples.

Though very basic I hope these sounds may be of some use to the Pianobook community.

  • One of my favourites right away!

    I can't describe how much I LOVED this, and I didn't expect to listen to such a unique take for this kind of sound. Excellent job, instant recommendation to everyone. All 5 patches along with the 2 multis are simply mesmerizing to my ear. I seriously can't wait to get some time to play more with them and come up with something that will give them justice. I sincerely thank Simo for this contribution.

  • Been looking for this sound for so long!

    This plucked tremolo sound gives me instant Badalamenti "Twin Peaks" vibes, or that Hank Marvin sound. It sounds very 60's surf-rock, but so cleanly recorded. It sort of conveys nostalgia for an era I never knew... I just love it .
    Thank you for this beautiful instrument.

  • Whoah! These are my kind of guitar samples!

    These sounds are well recorded, highly inventive, and super playable and useful. I would love to know more about the equipment and/or processes the samplist used to create some of the awesome granular sounds here. The UI has just the right controls, and the included multis are awesome! Really well done!
