Vintage Tremolo : Well built but a bit vanilla

8 years ago

Needed a cheap and cheerfull tremolo so picked up this HB version.

It's the usual harley benton quality as far as the build goes so no problems there.

Plugging it in and switching it on all worked as expected.

Dialling in some wobble i found it to be very subtle way up to 12 o'clock and then some.It's not that this pedal is bad or anything of that nature.It just doesn't give me the depth of tremolo i desire.

If you're after subtle tremolo then this is a nice little box at a strong price.If you want a pedal with a bit more modulation this will be a dissapointment.

It's all down to personal taste at the end of the day and i'm sure i'll find a use for the pedal at some point.
