Can't wait to try it out! I haven't really heard much talk about these on here, so I decided to give it a shot. I will post a review once I get done playing with it! These are built in TEXAS and are only $100.
Is everything in Texas smaller after all?
We will see...:cool:

So after playing with the pedal for awhile, I have come to a few assumptions.
There is minimal volume loss when playing this pedal. Volume loss is expected with a tremolo, but the drop is barely noticeable. The range of depth is that of what you would find on an AC15 or 30. You will not get cool helicopter noises with this pedal as the wave form stays pretty smooth even at full depth. The range of speed goes from very slow to moderately fast. It seems the first 3/4 turn of the speed knob slowly increases the speed, and the last 1/4 changes speed drastically even if you barely rotate the knob. This pedal doesn't suck tone at all! It is pretty easy to dial in about any tremolo tone you want, besides helicopter noises and square waves.
All in all, this is a basic tremolo pedal that will accomplish about as much as a built in amp tremolo and sounds very similar. I describe the tremolo tone as warm and rich. Malekko did a good job building the pedal in such a small form for only $100. It feels very sturdy, and the wiring on the inside is very professional.
For those of you looking for a cheap tremolo thats built well and sounds great, try the Malekko Trem.

I want one of them for my PT mini. It should fits nice.
PS I thought , that malekko has internal trim pot for volume?

I've heard that lots of girls tell guys with small pedals that, "It's not the size that matters, but how you use it." Personally, I wouldn't know because I play a Nocturne Nail Head!

Yes I forgot to share that there is an internal volume pot that is easily accessible!
