Vintage Tremolo : Fab but basic tremolo

3 years ago

Sounds lush

Ok - this lacks the features of some more expensive units - there's no control on the wave shape / bias , and no volume (so if you need to compensate for perceived volume loss you'll need to find somewhere else in your chain to do this). It just does the one optical tremolo really well - very amp-like. If you're looking for a basic tremolo this is outstanding for the price.

The speed and depth have good range from subtle to super choppy .

The colour and (slightly bizarre?) graphics might divide opinion but I quite like them.

One drawback - considering it is very basic with just two knobs it is still a full size pedal - t would seem perfectly feasible to have the functionality in mini-pedal format
