Great Tremolo

This is a really cool unit that has a pretty innovative feature set. I like to set it for a smooth relatively fast fender sounding tremolo with just a little bit of the touch sensative envelope circuit in so it will fade out a little if i really dig in. This is great for all of the Mike Campbell tremolo stuff in Tom Petty's music or any of the CCR stuff.
