Tremolo Pedals - School me!

[Snufkino]

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.

I think an optical tremolo (which the Mooer must be I guess) should work well, but if not, I'd recommend the Moog Minifooger Tremolo. Might be a bit overkill for your needs but it does the subtle thing exceptionally well since you can dial the tone down in addition to the depth. Basically you get the tremolo kind of underneath the signal. I could get a nice subtle, amp-like tremolo with the depth at 9 o' clock or less, and the tone backed off a little to about 3 0'clock.

I can say one thing, the Mooer Trelicopter beats the pants off the Boss TR-2.

It manages the subtle sounds of the Dano, though it's a bit harder to dial in and not as pleasingly amp-like, but there isn't any of the useless lop-sidedness of the Boss. Sounds smooth all the way down.

The advantage of the Mooer is that it does everything else that the Dano can't do, and is much better at it than the Boss. The "bias" knob is absolutely magic, I'm not sure if it's changing the wave shape or what but at fully CCW it's straight up vintage trem, working it's way up through chewy Valco amp trem, all the way to helicopter square wave stutter. The Boss purports to do this as well, but it's nowhere near as musical and satisfying as the Mooer.

The only downside of the Mooer is the fact it has to be placed after a buffered pedal, otherwise you get clicks in time with the oscillation, which is annoying. Haven't tested it with battery power only though (9V clip wired to a DC jack)

Quick detour. I love this tremolo. I've heard it's a Vox AC30.

Chugs made me a Demeter clone a fair while back which has the bias and a volume control so you could see if he still does one off builds if you ever want to step up from the Mooer.

Is there a pedal out there that can do a Vox style tremolo?

Sorry dude, I missed your reply!

Excellent, cheers for that! I'm pretty much spoilt for choice

Depends what kind of Vox trem you want. Theres the repeat percussion which was noted, but Vox amps used a phase shift oscillator which is very different sounding. My Balls Oscillationist pedal uses a phase shift oscillator circuit and sounds for like Vox and Fender amp trem.

[Doc Holliday]

Which is the one Keef used for gimmie shelter again? A Vox type?

[Sonofthunder]

I got a EHX Super Pulsar last week after having my eyes on it since it was released and man.... it does NOT disappoint. If you seek for versatility and tap temp (which is a must for me personally) this is a good choice.
