Favorite Tremelo pedal?
I"m just getting into them. Catalinbread is getting close to releasing a pedal called the Pareidolia, which I am considering and so I started doing some research. I found some other interesting pedals.
Notably, the Mind Warp and the Mello Tremo by Tone Freak. The Mind Warp is probably not a trem pedal but instead a trippy pedal of many nuances and in your face delicious weirdness. The Mello Tremo is a wonderfully wholesome fat sounding trem pedal and the CB Pareidolia is a little new yet, not released. . .but I have never been disappointed by a CB pedal, the early demo is pretty sweet. . What are you liking by way of Trems these days?? |

I run the Catalinbread Semaphore tremolo and it is phenomenal. Pretty much everything they churn out is a winner. Hadn't heard about the Pareidolia, interesting...

Catalinbread Sempahore +1
Everything I need. Master volume is essential feature for me, because on different settings level may be heard slightly different (with different depth, wave). Also not too expensive. And sounds good in mild and over the top settings.

The Demeter Tremulator was my favourite for years, but as I became addicted to this effect I had to have a more choppy effect from times to times. So on ebay I found a used Dr Scientist Tremolessence and I must admit it's more versatile than the Demeter and as good sounding. Both beat the (good) trem of my SF Twin.

My tremolo pedal is a Danelectro Cool Cat, and it sounds exactly what I want a pedal to sound like. But....
I had to do a song that had a hard trem & wah swee thing going on, and the band was never exactly on the same tempo twice, so I started and now strongly wish for a tap tempo for my tremolo pedal.

The boss Tr-2 is very classic. It is used widely in alot of recordings when the Deluxe reverb is not used. I've used this as well as a Dano tuna melt and others including Sparkle. My deluxe beats them all, however, on stage, live, the cheap or expensive ones sound pretty much the same through the PA.

I've been thru the Voodoo, Demeter, Guyatone Flip, Sugar Baby, Swamp Thang, Mello Tremo, Tuna Melt, and I'm sure a few others I can't remember. The Suger Baby & Swamp Thang rule all, with a slight edge going to the Swamp Thang.
I remembered 2 more I had: Surf Trem & Wiggler. Surf was ok, Wiggler was great but noisy... EHX has alot of noise issues with their padals, and my Wiggler was no exception.

I have a Boss TR-2 and it does the trick. I have never owned another trem pedal, so I cannot say the TR-2 is my favorite ( as I have no other pedal to compare it to ). I do like the green color.

I like the Boss TR 2. Great bang for the buck. I have mine modded by Keeley, now it is a bit more transparent and has a very usuable volume control.. (Also makes it a very usuable boost.)
