Re: Tremolo Pedals - School me!
I just bought the mojo-hand Bayou trem.
Very tweed style swampy, murky trem.
It's very good.

Re: Tremolo Pedals - School me!
I have been holding out for the updated Effectrode Delta trem but no telling when it is going to come out. Ready times come and go and it still never comes up.

Re: Tremolo Pedals - School me!
Been doing some comparisons between all my different trem pedals.
If you want a more heavy duty alternative to the Dano Tuna Melt, the Boss TR-2 is the way to go. You can nail both the soft and hard sounds, plus you have adjustable depth on the hard sounds, and it can go deeper, faster and slower than the Dano.
The only thing missing is the Dano's subtle sounds, I believe the depth control on the Boss acts as a wet/dry mixer, but controls the LFO depth on the Dano. I may be wrong, but that's just what my ears are telling me.
BBE Tremor is a great pedal if you only want choppier sounds, it doesn't do the triangle trem of the Boss or Dano. Dual speeds are definitely fun though, and it's true bypass. The rubber foot on the bottom smells like ass though.
Last but certainly not least is Dr Tony Balls' OSCILLATIONIST. I totally didn't get along with this pedal when I got it because it didn't sound anything like the trem I was used to. But after playing with it for a few hours I found it had an incredibly organic, tubey throb, with very interactive controls, and sounds FUCKING AMAZEBALLS WITH FUZZ. Total Electric Prunes psych madness

Re: Tremolo Pedals - School me!
Still working on finding a replacement for my Tuna Melt. Does ANYTHING out there do subtle well?! Everything with a wet/dry mix seems to get very lopsided when the depth is down, which makes sense if you're mixing a constant signal in with a triangle wave signal, whereas the Dano keeps the same on/off cycles even all the way down.
I just got a cheap Mooer Trelicopter (Tremulator clone) to try out but I'm not all that confident it will fit the bill.

Re: Tremolo Pedals - School me!
^ Maybe try the Catalinbread Valcoder. I really like that one and, to my mind, it can do a nice subtle throb very well.

Re: Tremolo Pedals - School me!
From the demos I've heard, the Valcoder always seems a bit too choppy for what I'm after.
This is the kind of subtle I'm after:
