linear Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 (edited) Does anyone have any suggestions for a tremolo pedal where you can get a really strong square wave oscillation? Ideally analogue and true bypass. I've been using a Mooer Trelicopter, but even with the bias knob set all the way up it remains steadfastly musical sounding (presumably because it's an optical trem?)

skankdelvar Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 (edited) The old Nobels TRX trem has pretty much that 'machine' sound when set to square wave modern. By an eerie coincidence, I sold mine to Thunderbird who (due to pedalboard square footage issues) is now moving it on [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/234854-nobel-trx-tremelo-pedal-boxed-l25-posted/"]here[/url] in Effects For Sale.

JapanAxe Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 Danelectro Cool Cat tremolo in 'hard' mode should do the trick. Quote
Prime_BASS Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Look up cranetortoise in Japan. They have a tremilo that's basically a stutter Quote
elephantgrey Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Its not analogue or true bypass, but the boss SL20 might be worth a look. Quote
Sibob Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 The original Boss PN-2 is a favourite, but also check out the Zvex Sonor and the Idiotbox Mad Doctor stutter. I had the Mad Doctor for a couple of days (it was wrongly sent to me instead of another pedal from a shop), and whilst I had it I had a great time with it, great pedal. Si Quote
0175westwood29 Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 theres also the behringer pn-2 copy if you dnt wanna try and pay silly money. andy Quote
Byo Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 Boss PN-2 and Zvex Sonar for hard choppy stuff. The Zvex is amazing and it ticks all the boxes for me. Quote
GazWills Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) earthquaker devices hummingbird - for me this beats the PN-2, as there is a volume control so you can boost it Edited April 29, 2014 by GazWills Quote
linear Posted April 30, 2014 Author Posted April 30, 2014 Thanks for all of the suggestions guys, a real range to choose from and loads that I would never have considered. Quote
