I've got one.
I programmed one of the presets as a kind of random thing. I used the stepped waveform with a whole lot of steps and it does a pretty good job. I like that I can use an expression pedal to blend it.

Very cool, thanks!

Just giving an update: got the Sentimental Bob Tacana tremolo some weeks ago, i didn't even needed a tremolo but the features and the price-tag were so ridiculous i pulled the trigger anyway. 
It's really well built, and it does every tremolo thing you could wish for: tap tempo, subdivisions, tons of waveforms, dedicated knob for shape, cv in, small, top mounted jacks, and all of this for about 120€ including shipping. 

Honestly i don't think it's gonna last long with me because i realized that, for extremely limted use i have, the tremolo effect built in the Katana or in the Ms-70cdr are more than enough for my needs, but the Tacana it's definitely worth a lot more than its price (if some ILFriend wants one for a reduced price just hit me up, otherwise i'm not interested in putting it for sale). 

More strictly on-topic: random waveforms on it sound enough random to me, and if you move the shape knob ouside of the central position everything seems even more random. :thumb:

If anyone's curious about the random amplitude modulation on the Pladask Draume, it seems like it's the square wave sample and hold style random, rather than random slopes or sine or whatever.

Did you get one or are you basing that on the demos? Mine came in the mail today but I haven’t had a chance to plug it in yet.

Awesome! I was exhausted last night, but got about 10 minutes of playing in before bed and I really dig it.

I just got the Sentimental Bob Tacana tremolo and it's pretty rad. You have a random square wave or a random sine wave setting, and I had him add an expression input to control the rate, so I can kind of randomize the rate with the pedal. It sounds awesome, a lovely flickering tremolo.

So you use a normal expression pedal and move that around to change the rate?

Yep. I haven't even messed with it yet, so I can't say how well it works. I asked him if it was possible and he added it in for an extra $10.

Told ya! i sold mine for lack of use but it's killer, and considering its price-tag it's even more rad.
