Danelectro Tuna Melt Trem...Anything bad about it?


Noise...

Aside from the plastic enclosure and cheap knobs and switch, is there anything bad about this trem? I'm seriously gassing for a trem of some sort, and this one's cheap.

 

Is it noisy? Any bypass issues? How fast and choppy will it get? I know it does the slow, vintagey sound well...

 

My main concern is noise though. Is it at all noisy? Any hiss or white noise?

After reading the post I was about to mention the enclosure and then clicked on the thread and saw that you have already taken that into consideration! Aside from that, it's a GREAT trem. It'll get really choppy, completely cutting in and out, it's quiet, and NO volume drop.

Very noticeable volume drop (with the one I had and I bought it new). However It may vary depending on where it is in your chain. I couldn't get the effect as choppy as I wanted but it is OK imo. For 10 - 15$ you don't have much to loose. I not a fan of trems anyway so my opinion may be biased. If you have the extra dough, try out a Dr. Scientist Tremolescence. They rule.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. It's hard to argue at that price. :idk:

 

I may end up just building a trem instead though. I'm not sure.

 

I've wanted a Fish and Chips EQ for a while though, so maybe it's time to add a couple Dano's to my board...
