If not, I would also vote the Dr. Scientist as a close second. They always make good stuff.

Bear in mind that even the fancy boutique trems can be found for under $200; I bought a totally killer Robot Factory dual trem for $185 used. Consider the GigFX Chopper as well; those can be found on Ebay for $150 brand new. |

| | Registered User | | | | Yeah, I saw that Cygnet on the classifieds. I was going to buy it---hesitated---and now I want to shoot myself for not snatching it up. If you don't want it, pm me  |

It was really good, I'm no authority on trems, but it's a solid little unit with limited flexibility and a good tone. Can often be found for cheap too.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jan 2011 Location: Bristol, UK | | | i bought a BOSS PN-2 recently after borrowing one from a friend. i've only used a couple of trem's before this so can't comment on most of those mentioned above, but the PN-2 is fantastic. Really choppy if you want, but also does very subtle. plus if you have two amps, the pan option is mental-fun! |

|  | Registered User | | | | | Demeter. You will love it.
Perfect sound and function, easy to use, has that boutique look,
I really like the colors and modular chassis, even the black coating feels great. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jun 2009 Location: Twixt a rock and a hard place | | | I only have used the Demeter. It sounds great, classic tremolo. I sold it though, and will get one of his stereo trems. IMO, tremolo sounds better in stereo in order to get the most wobble oomph. |
