As Advertised. Very reasonable for the Price
Nonameguy 07.08.2020
Bought this as cheap stop gap until getting around to investing in something more substantial. Using it to provide as a subtle always on effect.

Pros: It is inexpensive; It is very sturdy, Allows for reasonable variation of dept and speed of tremolo. Exactly as advertised, provides a decent and smooth tremolo effect, no unnessary frills.

Cons: Fairly large. Power connection input not great, somewhat loose and tends to cut out if moved slightly (was using standard Boss connector); Found sound to distort slightly when using 9V battery. The wave form knob doesn't really do much.

If you want to add a touch of tremolo to your sound and don't want to spend too much and have space for a large pedal this is ideal. All in all this is good value for the money, Very reasonable for the price.

Design-wise and durability seem to be great! Super solid, a little bit biggie.

Sound-wise, my ears tell me that it cuts a lot of the body of the sound. Compared to the Boss versions, I think the Boss ones keep the sound fullness. This seems to cut a bit of volume, low, mid frequencies.

It's cheap, does the job, but don't expect a sensational sound. It works and sounds decent, but you loose a little bit of the overall sound quality.

Cheap. Good.
Keith :) 21.07.2022
Super easy to use with clearly labeled knobs. Also very space efficient!!

I like the range of smooth and choppy sounds you can get.

I have nothing to critique on the sound quality, it's definitely tremolo. You can get some good Alt-J vibes going with it or just add some nice movement to your sound.

The casing is nice and sturdy. Non clicky button which I enjoy but make sure you press it down fully as you can half press it sometimes and do nothing. The knobs are super cheap feeling but are still working perfectly and I purchased this a couple of years ago I think and has had plenty of use.

For the price you can't really go wrong. If further down the line you think you need more from a tremolo you can invest more but this has always been able to do what I want it to :)

Great pedal
Thonk 18.02.2020
Nice tremolo pedal. Not as good as a fender obviously, but i use it on my board with a Hughes & Kettner Tubemeister 20 deluxe amp and it works a treat live for the times i need it.

Only issue with it (and all the cheap tc pedals I've brought) is the screws. They seem to be on super tight, and will burr really easily when trying to open them for a battery, so you're warned.

My 1st one developed a weird distortion and it was replaced by Thomann easy as pie.

This didn't put me off the pedal at all, rather it made me more happy to purchase these cheaper pedals as I know Thomann will sort any problems straight away.

Update. 5 years in and it's still flawless. I've moved it over to my bass pedal board....SO KOOL !

It's a tremolo!
Nedim 22.03.2021
Not much to say here. It's a tremolo with simple features, it's a simple pedal to figure out, and it sounds like a tremolo should sound. Also, this pedal series is great! They are not very expensive, but they're built like little tanks! Just take into consideration that they are slightly bigger than your regular pedals, they are bigger than the tc electronic Flashback II delay or Hall Of Fame 2 reverb. They are also connected on top, which might mean that pairing them up with pedals that are connected on the sides could be a little bit of a hassle. But if mainly go for pedals in this tc electronic series, you can just put them all against each other and they'll fit perfectly!

Not for me, doesn't have a soft wave
CodaSiren 02.03.2020
I was looking for a tremolo to have a Fender amp style vibrato effect. That is not possible with the square and triangle wave form settings.

If you are looking for the chopping thing, this is perfect, if you are looking for a subtle tremolo, keep on looking

This is an outstanding pedal for the price tag. Beautiful tremolo, with lots of warmth and depth to it.

Bought it for my friend for his bday and he loves it. To anyone who thinks it doesn't offer a softwave, just dial it to about 10 o'clock and you're golden

Does the job, it's made to last, with a very good price
Dr. Nasha 10.03.2021
A basic tremolo only needs two parameters: speed and depth. This one has a third knob, that allows you to modify the shape of the wave. It's a metalic and solid box, made to last. And for this price, I'd go right away for it if wanted a classic style tremolo. The handicap of the price is not getting a stereo tremolo (that use to cost much more), that's the only thing that I miss when I want to record-it via line on my Motu Traveler. But you always can automate the panoramic and create the bouncing effect of a stereo tremolo ;)
