Great Tremolo

Fantastic sounding tremolo. Best analog tremolo I've played, sound quality wise. Has some "advanced" options that have become the norm. Wave shape has a random function which is fun. The ramping on this is a nice unique feature. User can use the ramp speed to determine how fast the tempo changes when tapped in. Can be a great musical feature, albeit not used all that often.
