Vintage Appreciation

According to the original Fender amps n further explained by Josh Scott. The Tremolo is behind the Reverb. After further research I discovered this creation, fella in Rhode Island named Tim had one for sale on marketplace, far below market value. Whats remarkable is the volume knob on the tremolo side.

For its value, it's a four

Keep in mind that retail, this is $120. So, I bough this off eBay used, but so far, there was no difference from a brand new Melo-Verb. I've been using it for some time, and I have a good idea of the tones this thing can pull off.

Essentially, it's a tremolo and reverb in one pedal. Starting with the tremolo side, it's just about the most dynamic tremolo I've had. I can't say much, but it's a fantastic sounding trem.

The reverb side is not my favourite. It's a spring, but the speed is much too slow, making the tone sound very strange, especially when making any percussive sounds. As a general reverb to be left on, it's fine, but if I put it any louder and play harder, it's tone suck. For slow leads, it works quite well.
