The tremolo on my BitQuest ring mod is pretty sweet.

I had a Hummingbird but couldn't find a use for it when I had it. But now I wish I hadnt flipped it. the BitQuest doesnt really get that slow since its meant to be a ring mod.

I don't understand how someone can't like tremolo.Listen to this toan. Hypnotic.

that sounds like 'harmonic vibrato' rather than pure trem
i was going to recommend it anyway, as a close relative of the trem - cleaner sound than a phaser or vibe but more sumptuous than pure trem

i love the bearfoot minivibe

Thanks for the protip. I gots to look into that then.

I love it when other people use tremolo, but I can't do it. The only exception is the tremolo circuit in the Fender Excelsior. Loved that shit. I really want to try a PN-2 though.... the one BST is so gat damn tempting.

same boat
i like to keep a multieffect on board so that i can use it as needed, i had a lovepedal babyface for a while and i got too frustrated at the lack of controls///my lack of ability
very cool in the right spot but its hard to find that spot for me

Yeah, I think you'd like harmonic trem. Carlson uses a Phase 90 instead of a trem, but a harmonic trem can get you kind of there

I was playing with a Versa Vibe into my Meatsmoke trem last night and it was pretty sweet. Not Dylan Carlson sweet though.

Anywho check out the Starla tap tempo tremolo with synch out?

I had a Stutterbox that I sold, just wasn't quite my thing. I recently bought a Diamond tremolo which I really like. It's got a lot of options, but not so many that it's complicated to use. It's green.

I've got a sweet trem on my amp too, so I don't even bring my trem pedal to practice most times.

I love the velocity sensitive tremolos in my line 6 pod. The dynamic fluctuation in rate is very fun to play with.

Tube driven trem in old Fenders is a favorite.
Only trem pedal I currently want is a Kingsley Bard.

I've been accidentally and now purposefully using my Dr Sci Elements pedal as a manual tremolo/volume pedal.
It has a great taper with EV-5 expression pedals and I'm looking to try it with a Copilot Broadcast for oscillation options.

But currently, a devoted trem pedal is absent from my board. Discovered I prefer the throb of a Uni Vibe's chorus mode before dirt.
Tremolo pedals affect the entire signal, Vibe modulates the bottom end with dynamic response and pushes the dirt while letting the treble...sit on top and remain articulate. The noise floor remains constant.

Ok here is my experiment.

SwirlPool with a Versa Vibe in the fx loop>Mid-Fi Overdrive>Jext Telez Dizzy Tone OC44>Mid-FI Demo tape fuzz>Tremolo on the Meatsmoke amp.

Also featured is vertical video orientation,string noise from sitting too close to my android, and sloppy playing.

Hey, you trying to steal my schtick?

Also, awesome.

You should feel flattered.

I've got the Diamond tremolo too and I love it. Options, but not overwhelming. Organic and smooth to stuttery and spastic (the "chaos" setting is so much fun especially if you also you double the tempo). I got mine in a black enclosure because I have OCD.
