Re: Tremolo Pedal. Which one do you use?
My TR-2 has lived on my board since the the day I got it, it does everything I could ever want from a tremolo pedal (FTR it's the version with an internal trim pot). Apart from my TU-2, it's the pedal that I've had on my board the longest.

Re: Tremolo Pedal. Which one do you use?
I really like the EHX Pulsar. Like the TR-2, but better IMO. I found it to be the most amp like of them all.
Gibson Les Paul Custom --> Orange AD30

I mostly use the Vibrato on my Twin, pedal wise my favorite is the Boss PN-2

Re: Tremolo Pedal. Which one do you use?
I have a Boss TR-2 which is great, as a lot of my predecessors stated!
Also I bought a EHX Wiggler, which is tube-powered and a great option (if you have enough space on your board for it, that thing is HUGE!)
On recordings however I try to use the built in Tremolo of my amps (69' Vox AC30 or 67' Twin Reverb Silverface).
If that isn't enough, the TR-2 always got me covered.

I've got a Keeley Verb-O-Trem. It is a good basic reverb and tremolo and has a nice volume knob, too.

Re: Tremolo Pedal. Which one do you use?
I got one of those EHX Mod 11s, thinking I would use quite a few of the options like vibrato, chorus, rotary. But either I can't figure out how to work the pedal to get decent sounds, or I basically paid extra money for just a trem. The trem sound is fine, but I could have gotten than from a lot of $50 pedals, probably.

Re: Tremolo Pedal. Which one do you use?
I haven’t read the whole thread (I know, I know) so apologies if it’s already been mentioned...
But for “cheap and cheerful” I have a weird soft spot for the old plastic RockTek Vibrator. It has a bizarre LFO envelope that I like (though it admittedly doesn’t sound much like the bias-vary tremolo on the O. Redding record mentioned in the OP)

I recently switched from a Caroline Parabola to a Mattoverse Tremstortion. It has more gain and a lot of delicious sawtooth and square-waveness available. Hard to come by, however. None on Reverb last I checked.

Matt is a great guy so can't hurt to send him an email. He seems to be really responsive to his customers.Tafarel wrote: ↑Fri Oct 09, 2020 10:56 amI recently switched from a Caroline Parabola to a Mattoverse Tremstortion.

Re: Tremolo Pedal. Which one do you use?
The Mastro Valvola LFO is the coolest trem I've ever used. So many crazy cool sounds inside it. Total sonic playground.

I've also heard good things about the 4ms Tremulus Lune but I haven't tried one.

Re: Tremolo Pedal. Which one do you use?
i haved a boss tr2 sound good but a little limitated (volume drop between dry and wet bother me)that i sold after fews years
a marshall vibratrem better cause the volume increase with and sound really good to my taste
a surfy trem that i put in my surfybear and i use it with my quilter head ,sound ridiculsly good !!! love this thing
and the trem from my bandmaster head (blackface) sound really good with the sound really in ,in fact the real thing
i don't really use trem a lot and each times i use it i want something really précise and i have what i need with my choice
first choice will be the bandmaster trem and if i want something a little different the surfy trem and the vibratrem can do this (more range than the bandmaster trem for more extreme setting)
