DuoSonicBoy's Cool Cat Tremolo Demo

Post by Mike »

How did I miss this? I couldn't find a thread. Anyway this deserves one, and should be on the ShortScaleGearDemos page. Good fucking job. Sounds awesome and a great demo.

This is apparently a Tremulator Clone or something. Sounds bloody brilliant either way, definitely going to be my Number #1 recommendation for anyone after tremolo.

Well done DSB.

Yeah, DSB does some top vids, and he has some silky "late night radio" vocal skills.

I'm still umming and ahhing about replacing my Nano Pulsar with one of these- smaller pedalboard footprint, jacks on t'back, easier to get proper on/off trem sounds. But alas, not as quirky.

The volume drop is a bit of a shame, but everything else about it trumps the Tunamelt.

I assumed it was the same guts as the Tuna melt, seeing how revered it is..

A couple of people have suggested it is different, and actually the Demeter Tremulator or whatever it is.

nice demo dood.

mane, these dan-o pedals are a real boon, dontchya think? i love me some boss pedals and whatnot...but i've never seen a dan-o pedal that isn't awesome on some level. and for the bucks you can't complain. i remember when they released their first Fab Tone. I bought it and loved the cock off that pedal...hmm...going to ebay now.

Fab tone rocks. It's great for that big 70's rock tone and way beyond.

And the Fabtone = nasty overly-trebley, over-gained monster. Possibly down to my amps and guitar of choice at the time of owning though.

i always liked the way my old fabtone sounded...and for 40 bucks for the pair, if it ends up pissing me off, then i'll put it back up on the bay or for bro-down dealz0rz here, and i won't feel bad. i'm also in the running for a Cool cat old school styliee too. i guess i had a bit of old sentimentality run through me yesterday...

Lovely demo! Dude your voice is so mellow - after a day of DIY you nearly talked me to sleep with your dulcet tones :)

DSB there is a trimpot inside the pedal to the left of the Opto-Coupler you can use to adjust the volume. You should be able to remove the drop and also create a boost if you wanted.

Well look at that. Thanks for the tip, Mike. I would never have seen that otherwise.

I play around with it and see what happens.
