Members K2000 Posted November 30, 2012 Members Share Posted November 30, 2012 Which tremolos will chop hard? I'm not looking for subtlety, I need something that gets weird. I haz options? Maybe it's not even a tremelo that I need? Looking for retarded helicopters. What does that? Help, I'm not smart! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RadioSilence Posted November 30, 2012 Members Share Posted November 30, 2012 Vox Repeat Percussion. Hasn't been made for years but there are clones out there and the schematic's pretty simple so you could have someone knock one up for you. Listen to just about any Spacemen 3 song for an idea of it.

Members Pewtershmit Posted November 30, 2012 Members Share Posted November 30, 2012 EQD is based on the Vox. thoughthe sonar would tickle that pickle because doesn't it gate the signal when the tremolo is at its off point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LSDis4me Posted November 30, 2012 Members Share Posted November 30, 2012 You want a tremolo that does a good square wave. I see you're selling a Trelicopter (I sold mine, too, two of them actually). It does a weak square wave. What I've had that does a good square wave is the Seymour Duncan Shape Shifter. The SS also does a lot of other useful trem sounds. The Ronsound Trem-o-matic does the same thing that the Hummingbird and Vox Repeater does, but those are all one trick ponies. I just got a Hardwire Tremolo-Rotary pedal a couple days ago, that the square wave on it is good. And have you heard the helicopter setting on the Trinity reverb?

Members notjonahbutnoah Posted November 30, 2012 Members Share Posted November 30, 2012 Basically anything with a square wave option. Hummingbird is a good option however some models have a gap between the fast and slow rate modes. Mine did, and I kept alternateing between mode 1 al the way up and mode 2 all the way down. The sweet spot I wanted was in the gap. I like my Dr. Scientist Tremolessence a whole bunch because it can do everything the hummingbird did, but better, and with far more options and only one rate knob for the whole range which I prefer. No gaps. You can have cool surfy/swampy trem, or a retarded helicopter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GREC Posted November 30, 2012 Members Share Posted November 30, 2012 Shape Shifter is choppy if you want it -very versatile. Acid Fuzz' Sonic Boom is super choppy/spikey -if you are luck enough to get ahold of one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members poolshark Posted November 30, 2012 Members Share Posted November 30, 2012 Had a Hummingbird; it was nice, and does what you want. It eventually got booted for a Pulsar, though - greater range, waveform switch and STEREO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members arthurdent'd Posted December 1, 2012 Members Share Posted December 1, 2012 I recently picked up a Sonic IV Colorsound Tremolo clone, {censored} chops hard and subtle pulse, with a bit of a boost to it that keeps the perceived volume drop from being an issue, great pedal.
