Clips?

Clips of staticy blips?

Ah Tremolo, my first and maybe still best-loved modulation.

I also am a ringmod trem lover--latest winner being the noahsark I have on loan but me like MF102 and Randy's too....

80tape Variable State Tremolo with its HPF/LPF and the ability to mix noise into the lfo waveform is pretty ace. I heart my DMinner built Twin Peaks a lot too (lots of skewable waveforms, harmonic trem mode, and modes to trem only the high or low freqs). Not to forget the enigmatic Hollow Earth with the knob recorder functionality

Sonuus Voluum is pretty amazing in the trem department with lots of nice waveforms, rhythmic sequences, foot-pedal or envelope control over rate, onset, intensity (along with nice, clean or super syrupy compression, boost and ADSR)...seems kinda under the radar....

I loved the Goatkeeper for the tricksiness and the Pigtronix attack/decay fam made nice cyclical throbbings but got moved on

aaaaand the BD-101 for the chop gate with resonant/SRRish delay mixed in

GigFX Chopper was pretty neat too, with the foot-pedal and the o.o.p. stereo throb...and the Red Witch PentaVocal with the five-way eq profile and the ability to get the upper frequencies pulsing while the lower frequencies stayed steady (or vice versa)....

So many neat ones. Would like to try an Ultrem, Nightwire, Lightning Wave and Pigtronix Ringmaster

Currently continuing to misuse eurorack to scheme whacky tremolutions to make me miss the Goatkeeper less (which I know is kinda like retrofitting a backhoe to aerate a windowbox lol)....

I'm no help.

The Ringmaster always sounds a bit overdriven in trem mode and doesn't clean up like the Randy's Revenge or MF-102 seem to in video clips. The Bitquest ring mod effect can produce a tremolo effect with interesting rhythms.

Hotone TREM for the classic '60s tone with opto-electronics. Very sweet sounding!
BOSS PN-2 for true stereo setups, panning effects and chopping sounds if desired.

What about this one?

Tremolo's I love:

Thorpy Chain Home
Chase Bliss Gravitas
Fairfield Circuitry Randy's Revenge
Side Effects Bug Elektrik
The new Function FX trem/phase
and a variety of the Alexander Pedals offerings that feature trem.

I also dug the Stone Deaf Temotron but had a ton of issues with it with volume drop, internal trim pots, etc. so dumped it. It was great when it worked though.

Sorry, I thought I was in the modular synth thread for a moment

Love tremolo. I've used a goatkeeper and a pn2 for years. pn2 is used mostly for stereo/panning but sounds great in all modes. My favorite use of tremolo is using expression pedals to change the trem rate. I do have gas for the zvex sonar and the eqd hummingbird but i struggle with justifying having 4 trems so maybe I'm in the wrong thread lol.
Also, I've got an old Gibson Falcon amp that has a great on board tremolo.

marlboro trem unit is bomb

Oh yeah, the Hamstead tremolo is really, really good too.

I too like the MF Trem. It get really interesting shapes and the tone knob is a brilliant idea. It's really good at subtle, strange pulsing.

Before that I was using a Tuna Melt which sounds great despite looking like it came out of a gumball machine. Does all the basic opto trem sounds really well, and gets real fast too.

I'm still getting to know my Gravitas, but so far really enjoying it.

Is it as cold sounding as the Warped Vinyl MkII? The WV MkII is the only CBA pedal that I tried and it wasn't for me (too cold).

Best tremolo pedal I ever owned was a Supa Trem 2 running between two amps with different EQ settings (one bright one dark).
Supa Trem 1 was pretty good too.
Mr. Black Panatrem was very nice too.

One tremolo pedal I really want but have never seen for sale is the Auralux King Trem

Harmonic tremolo is really nice because its not as over the top as a univibe but still has a little pit of that phasey sound.
