Fuzzrocious Tremorlo Review

whoatherechunk · #1 12-19-2008, 07:08 PM

OK. So first off, I’d like to say that Ryan is an awesome guy to work with. Second, his wife, Shannon, does some awesome artwork! A big thumbs up goes out to both of them. The Tremorlo is a clone of the EA Tremolo. I’ve never had any experience with that pedal so I do not know how those two compare. All I know is that I love this pedal. This is my first tremolo pedal purchase and I am very pleased. The only other tremolo that I have ever used is the Boss TR-2. I was not too fond of that pedal but I do like this one. The Boss TR-2 had a distinctive volume drop and this one does not seem to although it seems that you can do some easy modding to the TR-2 to fix that issue but that’s a different story. O yea…..how about a bright blinking pink LED that matches the speed/tempo! Of course this isn’t an Empress Tremolo or a hardcutting Earthquaker Hummingbird but it does the job for being a simple tremolo. Smooth and simple to operate. The three knobs are volume, speed, and depth. The paint job is also something personal to me and well I guess it’s nice to see a pedal in which the art brings some happiness to me whether I’m just staring at it, playing, performing, whatever! I’m not much of an aesthetical type of guy on pedals but this one really just pops out and I love it. Can’t wait to get more!

Got any way to make clips? I've been wanting to order something from him for a while.

I have video clips on the myspace. Hit my sig for the FUZZROCIOUS stuff.
Videos are in the "Videos" section jawn.

yeah man, that art work is amazing, just awesome. i'm sure it sound well too since it's an EA clone, great pedal.

RCCollins · #5 12-20-2008, 10:22 AM

I've already seen your videos too just looking for more clips.

I'm the guy you messaged from a bulletin I posted advertising a Fear Before show I was playing a little while back.

Gotcha gotcha gotcha.

My band is starting to record our full length in January. We'll have this effect and others on both bass and g****r on the record for sure. I'll be sure to share!

Chris - are you able to do some sound clips?

whoatherechunk · #8 12-20-2008, 02:46 PM

ryan - yea i can but just not now with all the work i've got. i will definitely get to it as soon as possible!

whoatherechunk · #9 12-31-2008, 02:19 AM

i did some sound clips.....but soundclick is being a little *****.

CaptainWampum · #10 12-31-2008, 02:20 AM

Fuzzrocious is awesome. I know I'm gonna end up getting some of their pedals eventually, haha.

fightthepower · #11 12-31-2008, 03:02 AM

The artwork is dope, I dig it

whoatherechunk · #12 01-03-2009, 05:07 PM

here are some clips.

sorry for the lame riff. just had time to do something brief. if anything...my clips do not justify this pedal's quality so hopefully i can upload some new ones later on.

sorry for the clipping. i'm new to recording clips

katri · #13 01-03-2009, 05:15 PM

the art work on these is probably the best ive seen, some are pretty funny too. great stuff ryan.

rratajski · #14 01-03-2009, 09:11 PM

Chris,
Thanks for getting those up! Sounds raaaaaaaaaaaaaaad! The one w/ the speed on full is weeeeeird in a great way!

I'll be sure to link 'em when I get the site redesign up and running!

whoatherechunk · #15 01-04-2009, 03:40 AM

no problem ryan. one problem i see is that the track is in stereo and well i guess with my laptop i didn't realize that. (didn't have earphones at the time) i will record some more later on. i also will put some up with fuzz/dirt. this thing shines with dirt.

whoatherechunk · #16 01-15-2009, 09:33 PM

i'm planning on getting some new knobs...what do you guys think?

i like the purple or white pointers.

McHaven · #17 01-15-2009, 10:07 PM

Alright Chris and Ryan, I'm going to make those Walking Delay clips, sometime soon. This has prompted me to spring to work, and spread the Fuzzrocious gospel.

Zombies > Anatomy.

whoatherechunk · #18 01-15-2009, 10:27 PM

hahaha. watch it.

rratajski · #19 01-16-2009, 05:06 AM

Why can't there be a world where zombies and human anatomy live together on the enclosure of a pedal?

I like the idea of intestines either hanging out of a zombie's mouth or being strewn from its own abdomen...or both at the same time.

Mick - clip/video away, my friend. It's always nice to see other people's takes on a pedal! Preach on haha. I saw on your pedalboard pic that you didn't have an expression pedal w/ it. Did you end up using a Moog expression pedal?

Chris - knob upgrades rule! Do it up! Whatever you do, don't buy these: http://www.smallbearelec.com/Detail.bok?no=727. They never ever stay on right (IME) and are a beach to screw on.

whoatherechunk · #20 01-16-2009, 12:11 PM

ryan....maybe you can incorporate tremolo and delay into one unit and call it the the walking tremor.
