I have a supa trem, and I think it sounds really good. I wish it had tap tempo but that's pretty minor for me anyways

I love many tremolos.
All the suggestions are good so far.

If you want tap tempo at a good price with some wacky wave forms look at the Copilot FX polypus. It's rad.
Seymour Duncan shape shifters don't hold their value well and can be found pretty cheap second hand.

Tonal Recall and Spectre don't do tremolo (don't have a volume knob/dipswitch).

Basic Audio Throbby rules all!
The Sonar has lots of cool features but lacked the hypnotic allure of the Throbby.

no...? I can't see anything. Plus even if I did it would probably be my worst enemy anyway, I'm hella broke

I like the BBe tremor, sounds very fendery.

Supatrem 2 with one side going to an amp that was set dark and one side with another amp set bright and the phase knobby up pretty high made a very glorious swirling sound for true harmonic FM tremolo. I put one into a Pro Jr set dark and a DRRI set bright and it made a very encapsulating sound. It also had the best normal AM tremolo sound when just straight into one amp.

Anybody used the little Malekko Trem? Been thinking about picking up something basic and relatively cheap since I'm sans-trem at the moment

What's a trem with a good maxxed Ampeg, Vox, maxxed Acoustic, square wave choppy trem? Extra points out doesn't cost a ton.

The Source Audio Vertigo can get pretty close to the Vox Repeat Percussion and some other vintage rhythms. ($149 list, so about $129 on sale...$105-120 used)

Goatkeeper 3 of course.
But at the end I don't need the fancy stuff for most of the stuff I play, so I will be happy with any tremolo, really!

3D like trem/vibe... so awesome sounding!


Never tried it... but I heard good thing about the Demeter Tremulator.
