School me on tremolo

[Decibill]

My recco is the EHX Wiggler....Big, deep and pulsey......

A guy in my band has been rocking a stutterbox lately. I never ever thought about a tremolo but now I want one so badly.....

[jrmy]

There's also the Dr Scientist Tremolescence, which is packed with options...

Opinions differ but in my opinion it does actually, just set it on one of the more regular waveforms, back down the depth till about halfway or less and only setup one stage of the sequence and you're there.
I guess there's pedals out there that have an even fatter sound though, the Tremolessence for instance, but I have no troubles getting a nice and thick tremolo out of my Goatkeeper, to me it sounds much fatter than any Mobius patch I tried.

Tremolo is a weird effect. I prefer simpler terms. My favorites I've tried are the Copilot Polypuss and the Lovepedal Babyface. I've had both twice and currently have had the Lovepedal for about 4 months. I would recommend both of them.

[D.o.S.]

TR-2. TR-2.

For straight on/off sounds (which is a really different thing that most people don't notice 'til they can compare) I gotta go with the IdiotBox stutter.

The Lightfoot Labs Goatkeeper is the monster of all tremolo's. You should get one and enjoy the ride.

Does this thing do "traditional" sounding tremolo at all? It looks neat with all the features but it seems like it is only for really weird things, and not lush Nancy Sinatra Bang Bang type sounds. At least that has been my observation thus far.

I agree with what tristan said, the unit puts out great "traditional" sounds. It is quite capable of so much more too, but if you're only interested in THAT sound it might not be the best unit for you. Its a pretty powerful tool for someone who's into experimenting with original tones/textures, there is so much you can do with this pedal.

I've also got the dr. scientest tremolessence, and its a hell of a tremolo in the traditional sense. it's stereo too, and with the hold function its pretty awesome being able to step on the momentary switch and only have the tremolo active until you take your foot off. i love using that on the decay of chords. it has other features that are quite useful too.

Pure traditional tremolo with no bells or whistles I'd pull out the Schaller tremolo pedal, very fat analogue tone.

Thank you both for your responses. This has been on my radar for a few months and was curious of how it did traditional as all the demos I saw seemed to be the more extreme side of things. Glad to know it can do both. I have the tremeloessence also and I like it swell.

if you get interested, you might want to contact the builder sooner than later, as i believe he's not making them anymore, or is soon to stop....i'd expect used prices are going to go up. someone contacted him "recently" and was able to get a unit that had a very small finish mar for a discount.

all the best

^Thanks for the tip.

[retinal orbita]

I bought a stutterbox. I impulse bought the shit out of it.

I regret nothing. It rules.

I love this guy...
