TREMOLO- MOOER/ROWIN Trelicopter ...exceptional sound and dead cheap!!!!

$90.00USD
MOOER/ROWIN TRELICOPTER TREMOLO
Regular readers probably know that Mooer re-brands their
 mini pedals for all comers. I have a list of 14 and recently
I noted 4 or 5 I could add to it.I must admit I am surprised to
see subtlety abandoned with this pedal ...not even the name 
got changed. LOL
$25.00 USD
The smoothest sounding tremolo is created by using 'light', It is called an optic tremolo.
It is accomplished by using a photo electric cell. This is the sweetest smoothest sounding for classic tube amp tremolo. Modern tremolo uses different waveforms created from a VCA that make harsher tones which can be effective in some forms of music.
If you either want a classic amp sound or that euphoric floating sounds only optic does the job. Doing a good design and just stabilizing the circuit is not easy but with a peak at how Empress Effects solved the problem Mooer found all the answers. 
A bias control is a key feature It allows you to match the dynamics of your guitar to the modulation. This stops volume drop outs. Other pedals leave this internally fixed  at an average. 
This a big part of why this pedal sounds better. 
Depth and speed are self evident and 
are on all tremolos.









CONCLUSION
Unless you want all the modern bells and whistles then the Mooer pedal is a 
killer choice. I intend to use it on very slow sweeps with just a bit of depth 
combined with reverb and delay for a modern ambience sound that I can solo 
on without any restrictions to using a dirt sound of choice or indeed what I choose to play.

If you do not mind one from the same assembly line but painted green
you can skip stopping at McDonalds a couple of times and it is yours :-)
