    I have a TR-2 on my board now and it gets the job done.

    In the grand scheme of things the Demeter Tremulator is better if you're after an analog tremolo that sounds like a vintage amp, but IMO it isn't better enough to justify the cost premium.

        The Behringers are probably clones of the TR-2 and VB-2. If they are accurate, that wouldn’t be bad.

          True, but as many times as Behringer has directly stolen exact products and replicated them with cheaper labor means I usually would pick a different brand.

          Rather spend a little more to support innovation -they are intellectual criminals in the audio world.

            I got the walrus audio monument for a harmonic trem because that Flint was out of my pedalboards power range, and my price range. Though it is very nice that it has reverb too. Does it have any features that aren't obvious from looking at it?

              Walrus is good stuff

              The FLint does have a host of secondary functions not obvious on by looking at the pedal

              I'm pasting them in because it's probably easier

              Here's what you see:

                It's really cool that you can select any knob to be controlled by an expression pedal. I was also assumed that those old fender amp designs had the tremelo going into the reverb and not vice versa. I've noticed most people putting tremolo before reverb on their pedalboards

                  I run tremelo into reverb -reverb into tremelo is pretty dramatic.

                    I have my board set reverb -> tremolo because that's how vintage Fender amps were done. I'm guessing they put the reverb circuit first so that the tremolo wouldn't mess with the reverb mix. No idea if that's actually why, but IMO it sounds good and makes sense.

                      Definitely sounds great either way..... just subtle with reverb last and more present with tremolo last.

                        Based on the original post - ignore these Boring Boss responses, and stick it to the Strymon fanboy's.

                        You NEED this:



                        However - Dr. Tremolo is in. What exactly are your needs?

                          That looks nice...and simple - perfect for Stage use. These people who play live shows and use pedals like Chase Bliss are psychopaths IMO.

                                You shut your mouth, how can you say, these guys are going about Tremelo the wrong way?
