My "Tremolo" game is STRONG! (New series)

[Aceman]

So I'm starting a new series for the Pedal Board - My "???" is strong. In your thread you post and list your best pedal 'game' as it were. My Tube Screamer game, my Delay game, my MXR pedals, whatever. Whatever pedal type/brand/style where you believe your game is strong. Tell us all the pedals you have, in order coolest to leastest. Other can of course ask questions about things they might wonder about, suggest additions, or challenge, or run smack...the usual. So launch into this one, and start your own "STRONG" thread!

I'm kicking it off with My Tremolo Game is STRONG! 31 tremolos, including 3 Tremolo-Reverbs, a few Uber-classics (Diaz, FLIP, PN2, Keeley) and a range of Boss TR-2's plus a lot more.

I have 1 BYOC Tremolo that I built, and it sounds great. That, and the trem on my Deluxe and I am good.

I always say a basic Boss TR-2 is all the Tremolo most people will ever need, and they won't need that very often...

But I am a wobble freak!

Best tremolo I had was the circuit on my first Traynor head but it had a 50/50 chance of popping the circuit breaker if I used it for more than a minute or two. My current Traynor had the trem disabled when I got it and I still haven't figured out what it'll take to get it working. I have a few different trems on the HX FX and they sound good enough for me. My tremolo game is weak.

Stone Deaf Tremotron. It's better than all the ones on your list, because it has a skull with glowing eyes on it.
I never get to use it, because my band mates all hate it

Tremolo art is kind of a thing - LOL

Does your band do any Tremolo songs?

Tremotronb is on my wish list though. Great Tremolo.

Tremolo in a head popped the circuit breaker??? In the amp or the house?

We play death/thrash/industrial, so not a lot, no. I'm trying to get them to see the beauty of square waved choppy trem.

i love a good trem pedal but dont have many. diaz tremodillo, duncan shape shifter, and a dano tuna melt. maybe one im forgetting, but i barely use em. i do use the trem on my old bf fenders a fair amount though

The amp, thankfully.

Hit me with an offer I never use my MOOG

Honestly, I find this one of the most disappointing Moog pedals. I'm sure it sounds just fine. But, it is like, all it does, is Tremolo. I expect a whole bunch more.

So...those three:

One of THE most noted pure tone awesome tremolos ever made (Diaz)
One of the most wave scalable tremolos ever made (Duncan)
And one of the most awesome budget Tremolos ever made

Seems like you have it pretty well covered!

 

[jeremy]

id like to think so! i did have a supatrem back in the day, that was the other i was thinking of. i gifted that to a buddy in need and he still makes good use of it

and along the same lines, i think i have all/most of my needs covered pretty well but dont have a ton of any one type of pedal. although that might not be true for overdrive pedals, since i do have a ton but there is a lot of variation across them. the blackstone doesnt sound like an sd1

That's too bad I was going to gift it to you, but I guess I will keep it, seeing it is disapointing.

 

[marcello252]

not many pedals, since I don't love tremolo so much, it always caused me some of a motion sickness feeling (but I'm an Univibe addicted instead), anyway:


Fender Princeton amp Tremolo
TC Electronic Viscous Vibe (tremolo option)
Dunlop Rotovibe (tremolo option)
Moen Shaky Jimi (tremolo option)

...
Danelectro Tuna Melt
Mooer Trelicopter
VHT Melo-Verb
Fender Tre-Verb
Strymon Flint

I'm pretty shocked by the Strymon in last position, a friend of mine has it and it's 1:1 with the tremolo of a Deluxe Reverb, what do you not like about it?

 

[jeremy]

a real univibe sounds more motion sickness inspiring than a straight trem to me?

Just sayin' if I'm getting a Moog pedal, I want a fancy one with all kinds of knobs, sliders and weirdness.

 

[marcello252]

to my ears no, I think because the univibe is a combined signal of a clean line mixed with phase shifted double, so there is still a reference ground to set the feet firm, that works with chorus too, with the tremolo no, it's a continuos motion where you don't have something to hold on to, you wave

 

[jeremy]

i guess the volume pulse doesnt bother me at all, i like it. a real univibe sounds seasick to me, in the best way but hold a chord and it sounds like a boat sloshing in a storm
