Members melx Posted July 23, 2008 Members Share Posted July 23, 2008 If you have them in your local shops then you should try them....I'd also add a line6 tap trem to that list if they have one of those too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rogueweez Posted July 23, 2008 Members Share Posted July 23, 2008 I just replaced my Tuna Melt w/ a Voodoo Lab. But it's not on your list, so never mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Burningleaves Posted July 23, 2008 Members Share Posted July 23, 2008 I say this a lot but........Trying out the Tuna-Melt first is def' worth while(imo). It makes for a good compare/contrast when trying out other more expensive units. I use the Tuna-Melt on my non-trem amps and am pretty satisfied. The EH-Wiggler is pretty cool (imo).

I would love a Wiggler but have a Pulsar in the mail. I couldn't pay the 150-200 right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OnWingsOfLead Posted July 23, 2008 Members Share Posted July 23, 2008 I love my Pulsar, but try out the Tuna Melt first, its a solid little plastic box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members IRG Posted July 23, 2008 Members Share Posted July 23, 2008 The Tremster sounds great from videos I've listened to. I have the Stereo Pulsar, and it is a solid pedal - it has some quirks, but it's fairly cheap, and will give you quite a few sounds too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Big Jon Posted July 23, 2008 Members Share Posted July 23, 2008 the tremster is nice for the fender amp trem sound, the VL is great too. i think both have volume control too. i've had both but eventually got a supa-trem and am happy for the time..

Members Mind_Riot89 Posted July 23, 2008 Members Share Posted July 23, 2008 I just replaced my Tuna Melt w/ a Voodoo Lab. But it's not on your list, so never mind. Comparisons between the two? I'm thinking about doing the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Funky Chowder Posted July 23, 2008 Members Share Posted July 23, 2008 Am I the only guy who doesn't have any problems with his TR-2? When I had mine, it sounded pretty good but had a volume drop, and not just because that's what a tremolo does. I recall that newer ones don't suffer from this, but I can't confirm this myself. The Keeley mod would be cool if you wanted to have a level control in addition to a trem, so that you could boost your signal if need be. I've only heard the Tuna Melt and Pulsar (small box version) from your list. The Melt is great especially for the money, but I would lean towards the Pulsar.

Members CiceroTJones Posted July 23, 2008 Members Share Posted July 23, 2008 Tremster for that amp-like throb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rogueweez Posted July 23, 2008 Members Share Posted July 23, 2008 Comparisons between the two? I'm thinking about doing the same thing. For one, the Tuna Melt doesn't do full depth on square wave, and there is the inevitable volume drop across the board. The Voodoo Lab takes care of both of those problems, and I think it just sounds fuller/warmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members OldCrankyDouche Posted July 27, 2008 Members Share Posted July 27, 2008 Im trying to buy a guy's Line 6 Tap Trem. Not responding to my PM's. Just watching the vid on MF convinced me I wanted to try it. C'mon...the PEAK knob says it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members krish Posted July 27, 2008 Members Share Posted July 27, 2008 I quite like my TR-2, I use it live all the time, I find nothing wrong with its sound. I just wish it had tap tempo though, and the want for tap tempo could see this thing listed on ebay sooner rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
