As good as it gets

This is my favorite tremolo and in general, I like it better than any other tremolo pedals I have tried and better than most amp based trems.

I leave it on all the time with the intensity dialed all the way so it functions as a clean boost and then select the hard setting when I want the tremolo effect. It is an integral part of my live sound.

Tremelo covered.

Nice, if chunky, device. Can do slow & subtle, and fast & aggressive volume changes. Personally prefer it slower ... tend to leave it left on, but great to have the options on tap. Mix and volume knobs are essential, and I believe there's an internal pot to adjust boost / gain ... never found the need to investigate and alter that though.

seanmarshall9

Tone, durability, usability.

As close to on-board trem tone as it gets. Love the pre-amp's sound so I leave it on all the time. Great options for 2 speeds, and will last forever.

nibaldo_jaure

A very versatile Tremolo

This is the most versatile Tremolo pedal I've ever tried. You can adjust every single parameter you can imagine, and even use it as a booster. The big knobs are intendend to modify settings on-the-fly with your foot.

rosstripi

Less is more

really don't need much more than this for tremolo. hard/soft and speed switches are all I needed.

This thing is sick

This thing is great. If you keep it on but run it dry it adds a slight high end boost to your signal which is tight! Just bummed it didnt come with those awesome black knobs. Came with smaller ones.
