I am your doctor of love!
So I saw a bucket list Tremolo, and threw in a cheap bid as it started Uber-low. Anyway, I forgot about it and I won!!!!

This thing is awesome! One of the first Tap Trems I ever heard of.

- Speed & depth do the usual

- Heavy stomp for on/off, light stomp for tempo

- LED shows tempo on or off

- Wave does what wave does through the usual ranger from Sine to square

- Peak is a sensitivity control for ramping up the speed as you pick harder! How cool is that?!?!?

- A Switch gives you Opto or Bias, and it can Pan!

- Stereo ins and outs

- Weighs about 5lbs...no need for velcro




It's an oldie but a goodie!

How does it compare to the other ones you have?

Can you be a little specific - LOL :lmao:I have over 20, not including Tremolo in multi FX and Reverb/Trems etc.. Compared how? Tone, speed, depth, feature???? It is wayyy heavier than about any pedal I have, including the Mayhem and Metal Muff w/ Top etc!!!!

The overall tone is not as warm/analog as most, even the other digitals (no surprise for 2010 pedal)

I haven't thought about max/min speed & depth. Seems middle of the road off the cuff.

A couple of cool features though. The Speed ramp is excellent and surprising. I don't use envelopes when tremolo-ing really, but I get why you might. It can't touch the Pigtronix Tremvelope in that area.

My favorite though is the Opto Bias switch. That was a really sweet inclusion. I wish more had that. You usually, as in almost always, get one vibe or the other. I'd say unless a tremolo fan, most don't know or care about the difference. But it does make a great option for comparative purposes, or to dial in that "just right" sound.

Is it a digital pedal? And can you replicate the sound on other pedals?

Yes - digital.

Can I replicate the sound(s) on other pedals - sure, but not all of them on one. Like I said, the opto/bias(and pan) switch is an awesome feature. But we are talking some tremolo tone tweaking that 95% of all people would never use, IMO.

You would need an Opto Trem, a Bias Trem, and then something else with an Envelope (Pigtronix) to do everything this box can do. Except you could easily drop these in a gig bag and even you could carry them. You would need a hand truck and roadie to move this pedal Dave! ;)
 
I have a Line 6 M9, which I think is the same trem models as this pedal. They have updated the trems in my HX Effects, though. None sound as good as the digital replication of my Tone Master Deluxe, which sounds divine.
 
best thing about those pedals is you can swap modules. wish i still had mine. gave it to my brother in law and he sold it like a dummy

Yeah - my latest understanding is that they ALL were module swappable, but they didn't start selling modules until later. They even made a "programmable" module you could code into your own effect.

Now you have to collect all of the modules.
