Tremelo pedals - can any work for bass, or are some more suited?

[Born 2B Mild]

On one of my multi-effects units, I'm enjoying the tremelo (based on a Vox AC15) effect. I'll be moving this unit on soon, but am interested in getting a stomp for keeping that nice vintage sound (works sooooo nice with flats ).

So, forgive my ignorance, but can any old tremelo pedal work for bass, or what?

They all should work fine.

I personally prefer the Catalinbread Valcoder

Anyone know of any tap-tempo tremolos besides the Diamond, Ultrem and the Seymour Duncan one?

Cusack, Lightfoot Labs, Empress

That Cusack box looks pretty neat. Never even heard of it before.

[tayste_2000]

He makes some really good stuff.

Line 6 Tap Tremolo - although intended for guitar not bass.

If you can still get it the Electrix MoFX - has MIDI sync as well.

I use a Dr. Scientist Tremoloessence: not designed for bass, but true bypass, dead easy to use and sounds fantastic (no loss of bottom end)! Looks really cool too
