They're not bad and are fairly flexible, but as far as a "nice tremolo sound" goes, I'd go for the Danelectro.

Thanks, i just thought it would be better for noisemaking since it looks more flexible, i have to think about it

The EHX Stereo Pulsar does some pretty odd sounds if noisemaking is your bag, but go for like 70 Euros. Pretty damn good pedal if you want some more oddball sounds, though.

The Nobels actually looks more flexible than it is, the "S" and "H" (soft and hard) modes for each waveform aren't really amazingly different. And the tone control isn't all that useful, but the volume control is definately a boon.

But if you're just after a really nice sounding vintage-y "but can do on/off choppy" tremolo, the Danny can't be beat.
