Hi folks.
This is a follow up tread.
Iām following up on this thread about which tremolo pedal do you like.
After much procrastinating. I made my move.
I got the supro tremolo.
Itās duel mode.
Amplitude tremolo which is normal vol. up/down tremolo. And harmonic tremolo which is running the bass from low to high, and tremble from high to low, in opposite direction to produce a spacey sounding harmonic tremolo effect.
It has a silent switch. No click on, click off. Which I like a lot.
It has a gain control on it along with normal depth and speed.
Speed can be so low that itās pretty much on then slowly to off, then back up to on. Back and forth. Or so fast a speed itās pretty much a studder.
Depth can be from barely there, to deep and a throbbing pulse.
Then thereās the gain knob. Oh my! The gain can not be turned all the way off. Thereās always a little bit there. Iāve found that if ya really gotta have clean, picking dynamics works well to get clean, or also along with rolling the vol. control down on the guitar can get you to clean also.
There is also a slight boost (in volume) when the pedal is engaged.
Man, this pedal is the secret sauce āIā was looking for.
With the pedal on, all controls on the pedal to zero. It really adds āsecret sauceā to any of the three amps Iāve got. It makes the amp sound just that much sweeter than it already is. I canāt describe in words what sweeter means, but it is good.
The tremolo itself, is near perfect. I compare this to the '65 fender princeton reverb reissue onboard tremolo (bias wiggle tremolo). Which is the sweetest sounding tremolo Iāve heard. The supro pedal is on that par.
Back to the gain control. This gain control introduces enough gain to compensate for not having a boost or a overdrive, or a distortion pedal. Ya donāt need one when ya got this pedal. It can get to Beatles Revolution intro type distortion/gain, with a tremolo pedal.
As ya can see, I aināt got a lot of pedals. Them are the two I use. I got more but theyāre all in a drawer as Iāve no need for them to get the tones Iām after. In the drawer are, joyo tremolo, compressor, phaser, vintage overdrive pedals. For the music I play, they are not needed when I got the supro tremolo pedal.
Iāve had this pedal now for maybe 3-4 weeks. I canāt get enough of it. Itās near always on albeit it may have all controls to zero for just the sweetener of the tones produced.
imho, I made the correct choice.
fwiw. And lastly.
What convinced me to make the move in getting this pedal. As Iād procrastinated for a easy year about what I wanted to do about getting tremolo effect for my amps that donāt have onboard. Was that sweetwater had a sale on them. They are always $214 (kinda expensive imho). Everywhere. It must be msrp. Sweetwater had them for $169 + sales tax.
So I got my pedal in the mail. And it was broken. One of the knobs just slid off easy. I contacted sweetwater about this. They said theyād send me another new pedal. Next day I had that replacement pedal along w/ a prepaid shipping label back to sweetwater. The new pedal was fine.
I thought this worth mentioning as imho sweetwater went out of their way to get me satisfied. Which I am. This was my first purchase from sweetwater. As of now. I will purchase more from them. To bad for them, I donāt purchase much gear. But if I do. Sweetwater will be in the running as a place to buy if I canāt get local.
If ya want a great tremolo pedal. This supro (duel mode) tremolo is a very good one to consider.
Iām also considering removing the delay pedal from my board. It also gets little use.
It turns out for me. My simple tube or solid state amps, w/o effects other than reverb (or tremolo/reverb on the prri), along with my new supro tremolo pedal reveal the tones Iām looking for from my electric guitar.
imho, get one of these pedals, itāll make your ears HappyCat. ![]()
