I use it for a quick stutter effect, though it does a really good job at classic amp tremolo sounds for surf rock or country.
THE Tremolo
I tested a lot of different tremolos. This is THE one.
It does its work.
I like the simplicity of their three knobs, but all pedals should come with a volume knob. All of them.
Simple, yet effective
I purchased this almost a year ago and I have to say this thing sounds great. I mainly use the depth all the way up for a nice stuttering effect. My only concern with this pedal in particular is that when you engage the pedal there is a noticeable volume drop. Not very helpful considering it's the last thing in my chain. However, that can be easily fixed by prying out the C4 capacitor. Now I have no issues with the volume drop.
Sparkly
I haven't had it for long, hence only four star though I so far think it's a five star pedal. I've played it with a Fender Coronado and Jazzmaster and I enjoy the waves it makes followed by a sparkling sound (the sparkling sound is with a reverb pedal in front of it). I mainly play dream pop, noise- and folk rock, and I find it well fitting for dreamy sounds and 50's/60's inspired rock.
Tap tempo absence meant this is a 4/5 pedal
Great tremolo pedal which allows for tweaking to get any tremolo sound you are after. I believe this pedal could get better with the addition of a tap tempo mode.
Excellent rate and wave parameters, but difficult to set for live use (no LCD tempo display).
I purchased this pedal early-on in my career because of it's vintage vibe and superb tremolo characteristics. I was doing a lot of studio work with bands, and this pedal ended up on many tracks. Unfortunately when I started using it live I quickly realized it would never work. Trying to manually set the BPM from song to song near impossible, since it doesn't have a display. For live tremolo, you really need a display showing the BPM to match your drummer or else it'll be off (and sound bad).
Tremolord
Lord of all tremolos ! A big classic ! Very warm, it has this vintage feel to it. I modded mine recently in order to get rid of the volume drop issue. I've also did the Rate Led Mod in order to get the LED blink. After these mods, i named mine : the TremoLord !
