Tremolo - what a beautiful effect

[Robert]

I love tremolo. It's an effect that so darn pleasant to play with.

I have a cheap Ibanez TL-5, which does sound really good, except when there some gain in the signal. It works best with clean tones.

I think I got a lot of inspiration for the tremolo effect from listening to John Hiatt albums.

I am looking forward to the new Cool Cat pedals - I have a Cool Cat tremolo pedal on order. Hope it's a good one.

There's some interesting comparisons of tremolo pedals in the Feb issue of Guitar Player too.

Anyone else here a tremolo effect lover?

of course I love tremolo, i'm a marc ribot fan afterall. he uses a lot of it in his work with tom waits, and in many other projects as well. he makes excellent use of it.

It's the only modulation effect I've used for years. If that Cool Cat sounds anything like the Dano Tuna Melt it'll be a winner. Now that was one of the world's great musical bargains.

Yes, I also love tremelo. And I also have the Tuna Melt, and think it's a good unit for the money. Keep us posted on that Cool Cat trem when it arrives, Robert, and let us know how you like it. I handle my Danelectro pedals with care...... mine are in good shape, but I've seen a lot of them with the control knobs broken off.
