good tremolo pedal?

[dobro]

I want another pedal and I want it to be a tremolo. Any suggestions would be welcome.

I use a Boss TR-2. You can find em used for almost nothing. I think it's pretty good.

seymour duncan, shape shifter. very nice, tap tempo for speed control, quiet, true bypass, not to expensive

I went looking at one with some fancy extra features I thought would be cool. But even dialed out it couldn't do the basic smooth shape I remembered Fenders have. Nice guy directed me to the Boss TR-2. Saved me about $150.

the tap rate is great for playing live, no guesswork, tap the temp in and your synched. Under 150.00. Smokes boss

On my '68 DR reissue, I think that the tremolo is the only weak part of the whole amp (everything else is amazing IMHO). It seems pretty square-wave-ish, not a desirable sound to my ears. So apparently even Fender doesn't do the basic smooth shape that they used to!

My Twin Reverb is an orig 1967, not a re-ish, and the trem is pretty dull, also doesn't go fast enough.
It's its own specific sound. I use a TR-2 90% of the time.

I got rid of all my cheap sounding noisy Japanese boss pedals.

What you need is a DS1, mate.

Contact Lou Giordano and beg him to build another "Vacuum Electronics" tremolo pedal like the one he made for Roger Miller in the early 1980s. That thing had the deepest nulls of any tremolo I've ever heard; I think Lou said it was 80dB down during the negative duty cycle. Incredible sound.

The one used on Trem Two on Vs...
Boston native by any chance?

I worked at the same recording studio Lou did when he was at MIT, and took over his role as bass player in The VaccumHeads when he quit performing to concentrate on the other side of the glass. This was all around 1979-81.
