YES! Or your guitar knob!
Wait...hit a kill switch fast enough. That could work.

I recently got a Supa Trem 2, which got tap tempo, an extra mode and stereo/panning. It's awesome! Expencive, but awesome!

If you want just trem suggestions, I do have some. I haven't had an amp with trem either (except a Line 6 Spider which sounds like butthole and I threw it out lol).

I’ve never had an amp with trem either, but the Tremolessence sounds lovely. I just ordered a Walrus Audio Monument V2, and I’ve got high hopes.

Didnt ehx make a pedal that was like the worm but tube bias? That seems like something that would be amp:y if anything. Huge though and uses a weird psu since its tube

I have a gravitas and it is a very nice, very usable tremolo with a bajillion options.

The Surfy Bear tremolo is the most 'amp-like' trem I've tried, mainly because it's just a no-frills copy of the actual fender black and brown circuits. The Demeter/Fulltone etc, are optical, which for me, never quite sound 'amp-like'. Having said that, the Mad Professor Mellow Yellow is optical, but based on the fender black circuit. It's got a more symmetrical wave so doesn't have that nice rhythmical thing that the Surfy Bear can do though. I've also tried a few harmonic tremolos over the years but I've never really liked them. However, I've grown to really like the harmonic mode on the SB.
Here's an interesting read on how the surfy/fender behaves when you're dialling in the depth and rate
If you're handy with a soldering iron and want to save money on the Surfy, he also makes a
kit version, which is what I went for. I also just run it at 9v, and it's fine. The 12v is nice but it's only a shade 'better'. Not a night and day difference.

Thanks!! Seems like a good trem!
