Post by GlobalCooling »

Modtone Tremor!

Image

I got it for $60 new off Amazon, but it's usually $80 (still a great deal). True bypass, no volume/tone drop, smaller than Boss footprint, and feels solid. If you're looking for a great tremolo but you don't need all the frills of a Diamond or Empress, look no further.

Also, on old demos of this thing, there is no flashing LED, but mine flashes perfectly in time with the rate knob.

It looks like its made of plastic, is that just the finish or is it plastic?

Doesn't look like plastic to me. Just looks like the pedal wasn't clear coated over the paint.

Fair enough probably just my computer screen. It got my hopes up but the cheapest I can find it in the UK is £65 :/

The Danelectro Tunamelt is a great cheap tremolo. I got mine for a tenner or something.

I've heard they're good but I don't trust the Dano mini pedals after I had a pepperoni phase which was possibly the worst pedal I have ever owned.

Conversely the Dano Transparent Overdrive is probably one of the best pedals I have ever had the pleasure of owning.

Aye it's a very good pedal.

Also why'd you get rid of the missingno avatar? Your name doesn't match any more.

I'm not much of a phaser user myself, even though I have this vintage TC Electronic Phaser that sounds damn good.

@Reece
I changed it back. I think you may have been right.

The three Dano mini pedals that people rave about are the French Toast Fuzz (it's a copy of the Foxx Tone Machine, and very good it is, too), the Chicken Salad (Uni Vibe copy, I think) and the Tuna Melt tremolo, which is loved pretty much universally.
