Members murch33 Posted December 9, 2007 Members Share Posted December 9, 2007 New or used? I'm a huge fan of the Semaphore which you should be able to find for under $150 used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members gproud Posted December 9, 2007 Members Share Posted December 9, 2007 Check this one out before making any decisions...http://www.kadeneffects.com/fluttertone2.htm I've been researching, and this one is what I'm going to get when I can. Not that I'm saying 'buy this one', but put it in for the running at least. They can be had used for around $100.00, but are only around $140.00 new.

Members cbpickin Posted December 9, 2007 Members Share Posted December 9, 2007 The best trem IMO is the Frantone Vibutron. I got mine for $165 used, but I'm going to super glue it to my board so it doesn't go anywhere. New they are a little more than you want to spend. The Keeley TR2 is probably the best I've tried under $150. It is also very warm and fat like a tube amp trem. Others I've tried include the Semaphore, Supa Trem, Kaden Fluttertone and VL Tremolo.

Members byteblock Posted December 9, 2007 Members Share Posted December 9, 2007 I've got a BOSS TR-2 enroute from EBAY. I'm gonna mod myself and switch out the OP AMP as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pbone Posted December 9, 2007 Members Share Posted December 9, 2007 Demeter Tremulator. Exactly what you want, but a little pricey. You can find it at B&H for $183, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members pbone Posted December 9, 2007 Members Share Posted December 9, 2007 Yeah man. Save up for a few weeks and get the Tremulator. Doubt that you'd regret it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members profH20 Posted December 9, 2007 Members Share Posted December 9, 2007 I like my semaphore also. I'd go for the American version though...everything's pretty squeezed together on the regular version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members geoffnfa Posted December 10, 2007 Members Share Posted December 10, 2007 Get the Demeter Tremulator. They even make a stereo version, which I wish I had bought instead of the mono one... G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted December 10, 2007 Members Share Posted December 10, 2007 Whaddayall think of the EH pulsar? I my Pulsar (older version). For the price, it's hard to beat. The trem shapes are very tweakable, getting into asymmetrical territory. Mine has no noise or volume drop issue. The Wiggler is also sweet. The shapes are preset (1 trem, 4 vibratos), but the tone is radically altered by the tubes - very vintage, soft, warm, and slightly fuzzy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members pbone Posted December 10, 2007 Members Share Posted December 10, 2007 It all depends on what you want basically. You said you wanted a Fender Reverb-like tone. The Tremulator will come the closest to that. It's the best sounding trem without all the bells and whistles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members surferbeto Posted December 10, 2007 Members Share Posted December 10, 2007 ...You said you wanted a Fender Reverb-like tone. The Tremulator will come the closest to that. It's the best sounding trem without all the bells and whistles. Or for $90 you can have a Carl Martin Surf Trem, which is an excellent analog copy of the old school Fender tremolo circuit. Sounds just like the trem on my old blackface Fender Super Reverb. I just love mine. Some of the other products mentioned here are probably more versatile, but I'd be surprised if anything nailed the sound of an old fender amp's tremolo better than the Carl Martin, because it is so spot-on. It is also a very cool-looking turquoise pedal. They're hard to find used. I watched ebay for 3 months and saw exactly one (and I bought it). But new price is still well within your budget.
