Great sound + tap function

This is one of the cheaper tremelo pedals with tapfunction. The sound is really good. I love the volume control (witch a lot of tremeloes lack). There are tremelo pedals with more possibilities and functions, but for an affordable price this is a very good tremelo pedal.
