I love my Tremsetter! Does anybody else use one?

[GotTone]

I've had my Jackson Dinky XL since 1994, but I just recently installed a Tremsetter on my JT-580LP tremelo. It is by far the best mod I've ever done! I can now bend notes without the other strings going flat. I am also able to do a drop D tuning with the fine tuner on the low E string since the other strings still stay in tune when I tune down the E string to D. I've noticed an increase in sustain and volume as well.

The only minus I saw with the Tremsetter was getting used to the "clunk" when going up and down past the center position of the floating tremelo. The reason for the clunk is that there are two opposing springs in the Tremsetter: one for depressing the tremelo, and one for pulling up on the tremelo. To me, this was a small price to pay for the many advantages the Tremsetter provides.

I've got a TremSetter in my 2000 Strat. I like that the bridge returns to a zero position when I release the bar. It helps keep the tuning stable while playing, since I lean on the bridge a bit when I play.

I had a tremolo stabilizer (i'm assuming its the same thing) in an ibanez of mine... worked well in keeping the thing in tune but I eventually took it out, because i really missed a few techniques that you cant do with one in. Overall I think for the average strat player its great... but if you wanna use it to keep your Floyd in tune I'd just get a wilkinson.

If they're set up correctly, they're great, and they can be a pain to set up. I've had mixed experiences with them.

Had one in my Strat Plus once upon a time. It's a pretty cool piece of kit but the Tremol-no suits my needs better.
