I've been searching for a good tremolo for months, and I'd really like on that has external tap, or is easily modable for external. Any suggestions?

I favor the Cusack Tap-a-Whirl and the Empress Tremolo2 over everything else. Both are extremely versatile and feature external TT options. The Cusack has more total waveforms, but the Empress is more intuitive. You can't go wrong with either one though. I've owned about 20 tremolos and these are two of my all-time favorites (sold a Lovetone Wobulator and several other boutique trems over the years). I'm still using a Gravitas and other trems/vibes as well.

Ya, I was looking at the Cusack, but he rca for the tap kinda bothers me. I wanted to get the source audio external tap to sync it with my nemesis, and in not sure if the rca would work.

I think the lightning wave pedals can sync via cv in. Pretty sure they added that.

I'm sure copilot could hook you up too.

Or use a Buchla style lpg with a sync'd lfo or a sequencer like korg sq-1.

I think you would need an RCA to 1/4" TRS cable (about $6) to sync it with other devices. Cusack offers their own external tap accessories as well, including a multi-device TT box. I would just e-mail Cusack to make sure you've got the right accessories or possibly PM Eric! on here. He works there.
