looking for a good sounding tremolo pedal

[bogoboy]

I am looking for a good quality tremolo pedal between 150-300 for marshall 18w copy and a strat

http://www.empresseffects.com/tremolo.php -- Sweet trem with tap tempo. And it's Canadian made. You can't miss with that.

I have a trex tremster, very good pedal, does an authentic 60's amp-like trem, I think it was 130 used, but the tap rhythm thing would be nice.

I think the Empress is one of the best.

I have a Dunlop TS-1 and I like it just fine. It's not noisy at all and has stereo/mono outputs.

...there is/was a nobels trem on craiglist for $40:

Your 18w clone doesn't have the trem channel?

I'm a huge fan of the Build Your Own Clone (BYOC) Tremolo. I've played for 15 years, worked in a major music store for 5, and played a lot of tremolo in pedals and amps. This is my favourite and the most tube like of any tremolo I've tried.

FWIW I go for CCR/Twin Peaks/Stax Records/James Bond sort of tremolo sounds. I find this one does it better than all comers.

I also really like the T-Rex as well. That's a hell of a pedal. I went BYOC because it was half the price and I wanted to build my own (it is offered prebuilt as well).

The Danelectro Tunamelt gets raves reviews. Don't dismiss it because it's cheap.

Alternatively, jroberts is selling a swamp thing tremolo. Great high end stuff, at used prices, in Canada. Check the buy and sell section.

Cusack Tap-A-Whirl is the one on my board. Sounds awesome, super quiet, tap tempo, silent relay true-bypass switching, programmable options, ramp up/down ... etc. It's not as swampy and vintage sounding as some other ones but if you're looking for a versatile, awesome sounding trem with tons of options, Cusack is the one.

The Ibanez TL5 sounds good. It's a cheap plastic pedal, but sounds great. However, it can be noisy if you use compressor and gainy pedals.

The Catalinbread Semaphore is one of the sweetest tremolos that I've had the pleasure to try out. http://www.catalinbread.com/sem.html It also looks really cool:D.

Fulltone Supra Trem......

Boss TR-2. Tried one out on Friday. If I was in the market for a tremolo pedal, I would seriously consider that one. Decent price. Next purchace is going to be a delay or possibly a chorus though.
