New Tremolo Day!
« on: October 28, 2009, 10:49:50 AM »


Just arrived this morning - working from home today, lucky old me!  Had a brief play, and it's a cracking little unit.  It's another of those brands that are inexpensive but pretty damn good, like ToneRider.

Definitely worth checking out their ranges based on this pedal.

sweet. i've seen those before, never tried them though. What put me off is that they're a lot cheaper in the states, plus a lot of the specs sound a bit "iffy", if you know what i mean- using various different terms to describe the bypass, etc. etc. I'm totally paranoid, though, so bear that in mind. :lol: they do have a much bigger range than tonerider, that's the one bad thing about TR.

yeah - I'm as tight as a badgers arse, and I'm always on a quest to get the best I can for as low a price as possible...

I really like inexpensive gear.  It's like a challenge, next step is try to find a dirt cheap but brilliant fuzz pedal and a phaser!

Ahem. Wish I remembered that phrase before choosing my forum name...

I love/hate tremolo. Love how it sounds by itself but not sure of it in a band/live setting. Making my guitar sound quieter is counter intuitive, i gotta be loud and centre of attention, ALL THE TIME.

I've got the modtone delay, i quite like it, im not a big delay guy, just use it to sweeten up some leads etc.
I know the guy that stocks them here, he is just an independent distributor that mostly sells fancy gear so I knew theyd surely be decent for him to go to the effort of getting them in
theyve been extending their range quite a bit over the last year or so, am thinking of trying some of their other pedals at some point.

yeah, same here. I wouldn't say I like a challenge, i want it to sound good out of the box. But if i can get something which sounds as good for much less (or 99% as good), then I want it. Big problem is an awful lot of the cheaper stuff sounds so much worse that it's unusable, and that's a false economy.

i wonder what their wah is like. Though when i checked it wasn't dirt cheap... :(
