Tremolo pedals and who use them ?
- Thread starter MojoPenguin
- Start date
i love tremolo! maybe a bit to much, ive currently got the fuzzrocious tremorslo, ive got two fuzzrocious fuzzes that have tremolos in them( cicada) tecnically my fuzzrocious Zuul can do trem sounds as can in a way my moog clusterflux. and ive got a new custom pedal coming from lateral sound which is a trem and a filter in one with a blast function to double the time!
i like the big choppy sounds and cutting a drive or big fuzz!

I know this is an old thread but Id rather resurrect this than start a new one.
I have a trusty Boss PN-2 that I like to follow after an Iron Ether Oxide & Polytope.
Something about the PN-2 has kept me from exploring other options but I am curious as Im sure there are many great tremolos out there, the Chase Bliss Gravitas comes to mind. What ranks high on your list?

I don't use a "tremolo" pedal per se, but I've learned that there isn't much difference between the circuits of a harmonic tremolo, and a uni-vibe. So, especially for synthy madness, I've learned that the uni-vibe is a little bit of a secret weapon. Not sure how I'd use trem with a more "traditional"/clean sound, but for experimental things, it's pretty awesome.
This is a little sound clip I did up a few days back, and the uni-vibe features in all the tones, but especially the first two:

Guyatone Ultrem, ZVex Tremorama, and Empress ZOIA. I'm not a huge tremolo guy, and really just use it for synth stuff, so I don't like subtle, hence the few I've had over the years. For a super simple effect like tremolo, it is ALL about control.
I'm using an Alexander Wavelength currently, and its tremolo setting, like in all modes, has a number of waveforms available. The classic sinusoidal tone is very nice going into a bit of reverb; that board doesn't have a spring 'verb on hand, but does sport a plate reverb that makes tremolo sparkle.
