That's awesome! I've been wanting to try a Dry Bell for a LONG time. Do yourself a favor: if you're digging the Keeley Dynayrem, check the EQD Night Wire. When I listened to the demo here from Juan and company, I noticed a HUGE difference in bass response between the Night Wire and the Dynatrem.

Plus, the Night Wire can be used as a notch filter and phaser as well, depending on where you have the depth set and the mode switches set at. You might still like the Dynatrem, but they're similar enough that it's worth a look ;)

Oh, cool. I haven't checked out the night wire. To be honest, a while back I got a bit overwhelmed by the amount of stuff EQD produces, and as a result turned away from them a bit. I know that's a shit reason, so I'll take your advice and look into the night wire pronto!

Cheers!

Yeah, they've got a lot of stuff, but pretty much all of it is cool and fun. They're pretty much my favorite pedal company, and I've found that they almost always offer unique takes on things, and keep the functionality pretty basic, without unneeded frills. Options yes, but not ones you would never use. But that's just me.

It's pricey, bulky and I'm still in the process of acquiring one, but the EHX Wiggler is the best I've heard.

So I checked out the Night Wire....damn that's cool. I thought I was settled on the Dynatrem, now I'm not so sure!

While it doesn't tick all your boxes, another recommendation would be the Cooltron Vibravox, made by Vox.

It's tube driven & based on the original AC-30 tremolo circuit. You get Vibrato & Tremolo that work independently & the option to ramp up or down from one speed/channel to the other, just like a Leslie does. There's a volume knob to level out any drop in signal too. It's very organic & really good fun to use.
You think you can't, you wish you could, I know you can, I wish you would. Slip inside this house as you pass by.

And if we're not ticking all the boxes....a Roger Mayer Voodoo Vibe does pretty much all you asked for (in the analogue domain, if that's a plus) except tap tempo.

The Gravitas will do harmonic and optical trem or BOTH at the same time. I have it and it's very, very deep in terms of what you can do with it using an expression pedal.

I'm still deliberating on the Dynatrem/Night Wire thing, but meanwhile received my Vibe Machine V2. I'm gonna join the mass of people who love this pedal. It has a great thickness of sound that my previous vibe style pedal lacked. I haven't messed around with any of the trim pots, but straight out of the box I'm really enjoying it. I teamed it up with a germanium treble booster and got lost in 60s/70s guitar wank heaven for several hours. Happy times!

Cheers!
