Malekko/Mooer Tremolo

Post by Casavettes »

Anyone have experience with either the malekko trem or mooer?

I've come to realize when it comes to tremolo, I end up setting it to a very basic setting and never take advantage of all the fancy features some of them have
That and having very limited board space

I just need some basic chops

Ancient Astro has one of the Mooer trems, I'm pretty sure he digs it hard compared to the Malekko

I had the mooer but flipped it. On bass there was a volume drop that made it not work with my setup. It wasn't as noticeable on guitar though.

:hug: :hug:
I really appreciate the offer!
but the mentioned volume drop would most likely bother me a bit

Any malekko users with some thoughts?

I've got the mooer and like it, but with the blend and depth on higher settings there is definitely a noticeable volume drop. I have mine set more subtle and don't notice the drop at all. The tone is good IMO, i prefer optical trems and it delivers. Are there better out there, yes, but if you need something in a small package I think it works great.

EQD hummingbird? When subtle it has a really fantastic melancholic pulse to it, and stupid amounts of gain. And it does of course super fast, and repeat percussion chop. But yeah, it's simple and nice.

You're welcome, no problemo man! ;) :)
I understand, I don't care much for the Mooer as it doesn't get extreme enough for my tastes and like Ancient Astronaught said it does indeed seem to have a volume drop on extreme settings (I at least experienced the same with it), it's also not the lushest or warmest sounding tremolo either (I loved the Tremolessence but I think you had that one before if I'm not mistaken and it's also about the same form factor as the Polypus you're selling).
As for mini mini tremolo's there's always still the Lovepedal one (Babyface or something?) and the Catalinbread Valcoder as well (I thought I saw one of those Valcoders fly by on the BST here but I'm not completely sure).
Babyface, well, yeah, what's in a name, right?

What a guy.
Better to give it away to someone on here who can actually use it than having it lying around on the shelf I think. ;)
Well, I suppose I can also just try and sell it in the EU to get a few euro's back, no big deal really. :D

I currently own and use the Malekko Trem. I really really like mine, though I prefer standard size pedals as they don't seem to lean around when I step on them.
