Trem is so good, funnily enough I can't use most other modulation effects.

Kind of suprised this beauty hasn't been posted yet.

I've tried to use tremolo before, but I guess I had it in the wrong place in my chain. I would put reverb and delay after trem, which wasn't too exciting IMO, but it seems like a bunch of you like tremolo to be last (?)

Well since I have a trem on my amp, there is not much of a choice. But in my video example above, I actually also have trem before the dirt. The Swirlpool is combination trem/vibe pedal. So, I got a trem before the dirt and a trem after the dirt. I actually forgot to mention in my chain above, but I also have reverb at the end of the pedal chain too. How's that for a non-comittal answer?

I've got a sweet trem on my amp too, so I don't even bring my trem pedal to practice most times.
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.
Hmmm I quite like the green, it reminds me of a forest. But I respect your decision.

A tremolo forest? :idk:

I use a Black Cat Mini Trem and I can't even think of another trem pedal I would even consider ditching this pedal for. Right off the bat it looks fantastic and takes up an acceptable amount of real estate. It sounds amazing! Such a natural sound to this thing. Having a tone knob in a tremolo is such a fantastic thing to have. I don't know what I would do without the tone knob. It opens the pedal up to do so much more. The boost knob is also fantastic. It adds such a level of richness to the pedal. Sometimes I even turn the depth down just to use the boost section. Lastly the speed footswitch is awesome as well. It lets you double the speed. I haven't found another tremolo pedal that can do what this can do at this price and in such a small enclosure.

It is one of the only pedals on my board I couldn't live without. I should also mention I was also in the boat where I was unable to find a tremolo pedal that worked for me before having this. This was exactly what I was looking for. You can get them used for $100-$140.

I recently started running two amps & had an old Dunlop trem/panner. It was aiight but the volume drop bugged the hell out of me. I did some research & ended up with a Fulltone Supa Trem 2. Love this thing. It's really two trem circuits & you can control the phase relationship, basically meaning "how much" it pans. Volume knob adds a nice boost & the buffers at the end of my chain really made a difference. I actually had to tame the treble/tone knobs on the amps. Sometimes i like running the stereo panning along with the onboard trem on the Ampeg SuperbReverb. Delightfully trippy.
