Morning all, hope you're well! I;ve not been on for an AGE.
Any recommendations for a decent, cheap tremolo pedal? I want something to mess about with and go from a vintage wobble to all out choppyness.
Cheers!

I recently bought a Mooer Trelicopter for forty-something quid and I'm liking it a lot. It's pretty flexible and very small.

BYOC tremolo is cheap if you can solder

Das Musikding in germany sells a nice kit which is a klone of a tremulus lune. I build that and really like it, with 5 controlls you got a lot of sound shaping abilitys if you want (if you donīt want anything that complex you can of course effectivly just use the speed and depth once you got the rest set like you like em).

I'd go the BYOC route if you're able, but if not then you'd be able to find the Boss tremolo for cheap on eBay.

Danelectro Cool Cat?

yeah the boss one is pretty nice (and from what i hear, the newer models have fixed the volume drop... which is allegedly pretty easily fixable in the older ones, anyway). i have the joyo tremolo as well (which is also a tremulator clone... i think), and while it sounds pretty good, it does the more subtle tremolo while the boss has the full range.

Danelectro Cool Cat?
+1. It's cheap but robust, sounds almost as good as the Fulltone Supra-Trem (did an A/B test and both myself and the Fulltone owner - to our surprise - had to agree that the Fulltone was only marginally better) and has the square wave setting too. And it's doesn't have the volume drop problem neither (or at least mine doesn't - IIRC there's a trim-pot inside to set the make-up gain).

I haven't played it, but the Mooer Trelicopter seems like a good deal.
