"I usually find a wild, whacky pedal that I use for a minute and then I don't like it. These are some new pedals I just got, the Red Witch stuff, that I'm trying out. I kind of like them a lot," says Steve Vai about the Red Witch Pentavocal Tremolo Pedal.
This video from DunlopTV features the guitar tech of TOOL's longest acting bassist, Justin Chancellor. As he runs through some of the pedals within Chancellor's pedal board, we see that the over-all board is in 3 sections. In the far left section he has a Red Witch Titan Delay Pedal next to a Red Witch Pentavocal Trem Pedal.
On this photo with The Rascals you can see Miles using a Red Witch Pentavocal Tremolo Pedal. He later used a Moon Phaser (e.g. for Rearrange).
"One of New Zealand’s greatest treasures and exports comes from Ben Fulton, who offers an extraordinary line of pedal designs. I’ve been hearing about Ben’s pedals for years, in particular his Deluxe Moon Phaser (which I’ve still yet to hear but understand to be the bomb.) Eventually, I met and spent time with Ben while touring New Zealand in 2008 and bought one of his Pentavocal Trem pedals, which has proven to be quite versatile, practical and excellent sounding. The key standout feature of his tremolo is the 5-way Rotary Selector—from subtle trem shapes to deep, pulsating tremolo. The Bottom control allows it to range from a full trem to merely pulsating the lower frequencies and keeping the top end of your signal clear and unaffected. Also, there’s a Volume control to recover any level lost with the trem affect. This one is very useful and another mainstay on my pedalboard. "
