Rock solid buy

The product description goes a really long way to explain the virtues of this pedal. So much so I'm not sure exactly what to add. I can say I do have other tremolo pedals however they really get used since I got this guy. So that tells you something. That and I have a long standing love of 90s guitar sound - I love my chorus, tremolo, and phasers pedals. The Moog Trem kicks butts IMHO.
