00:00So it does things that no other tremolo system has ever done.
00:03You really have to experience it to see what it does.
00:07So the big launch here at the NAMFRO this year is the tremolo models
00:12of the original and standard N2 lines.
00:14This is a brand new developed tremolo that we call the ARC Tilt.
00:19So ARC is the name of our new hardware platform that we've had on the N2 line
00:23and also on the Bowden Essential.
00:25But the tremolo is an entirely new development.
00:30It's been in the works for a lot of time.
00:32A lot of R&D has gone into this and we kind of wanted to solve the problem of,
00:36you know, when you use the conventional tremolo system,
00:38it hardly affects the treble strings at all, but the bass strings go completely flubby.
00:43So what this does is we've tilted the rotation axis in two directions.
00:48So first in this direction to accommodate the multiscale,
00:51but then in this direction as well.
00:55So when you use this tremolo,
00:57it actually affects the treble strings much more than the bass strings.
01:02So it balances out the pitch change across the strings.
01:06So it's just super smooth and tons of pullback range.
01:12So it does things that no other tremolo system has ever done.
01:16And we really want to base it on something that was well understood
01:19and needs to be used and maintained and set up.
01:22So it is with conventional posts, notch inserts here that you can flip around
01:27to double the lifetime, but you can also very easily replace them.
01:31And then there's a whole ecosystem obviously of different kinds of springs,
01:37noise reduction and different stiffnesses.
01:39So we wanted to be able to use conventional spare parts for this
01:44so you can tailor the feel of it.
01:46And yeah, we're just incredibly happy with how this turned out.
01:49Feedback has been absolutely incredible so far.
01:52But you really have to experience it to see what it does.
01:57See you guys.
