Is it possible? With any of their pedals?
Edit: I mean vibrato/whammy/pitch modulation, not volume modulation. Sorry D:

Your thread title says Tremolo Effect as in volume modulation) but then you mention a trem bar aka whammy bar which would be pitch modulation and is properly called vibrato.
If you're really asking about tremolo sounds I could be wrong here but I don't believe there's a way to do that. Source Audio doesn't offer a tremolo and I don't see a way to do it with one of their other pedals.
If you're asking about vibrato, I know their flanger is hot hand compatible and has a vibrato mode. How effective that setup would be I don't know and is probably a better question for the SA guys. |

Though sometimes filter voices can kind of trick you into hearing pitch based changes. Sometimes you can use chorus effects as a vibrato-like effect. |

Or when Fender made the Vibroverb amp which actually had a tremolo effect. Either way, it's Leo's fault. Given that he gave the bass world the P, the Jazz, the Stingray and G&L I think we can forgive him. Quote:

Anyway, my best guess is that you'd be a bit disappointed using the Hot Hand on the vibrato setting of the SA Flanger, but a dedicated pitch shifter that used the Hot Hand technology would be pretty cool. I'd float that idea past the Source Audio crew since they always seem receptive to new ideas. |

Though, one of my cats chewed up the rubber finger band, so I need to rig up a replacement before I can have that fun again.

(For the sensitive, no, I wouldn't really do this.)
