TREMOLO- ANANASHEAD Effects Optotrem...the old Magnatone magic trem in a box. YES!!!

$125.00 USD
 ANANASHEAD OPTOTREM 
There are a lot of companys making tremolo's these days with a features never before used
in tremolos including timing that they borrowed from elaborate delay pedals. I have said this often except for guys making ambiance music and film scores etc. they have a very limited use for live bands. Drummers are forced to work to a machine dictating the timing.
About 99% of the time it just is not practical.

What a gigging player needs is a great sounding tremolo with the best of the modern waveforms
that sells for a reasonable price.

Ananasheads always sticks to the basics in proven design principles that produce the best in analog sound.
To start with it is an optical tremolo with its great warm sound and unlike it's slick competitors you are not left with those really annoying volume drops.  You have the basic controls for depth and speed and the 'magic' knob that sweeps from a Square to Triangle waveform between a sine wave rounds the corners so you can zero in on what 'you' think nails it.
It is very amp like and totally old school. It reminds me of the old defunct Magnatone amps that started it all in the first place. The amps took off once a few imaginative players put out some recordings and everyone jumped on board. Yes ...one of the first was Fender. They made a better amp but it's tremolo was not even close.
In short check out a 'real' tremolo ....check out the Ananashead.

If like me you own Ananashead pedals you will know just how well they are made. Yes hand made too! Stellar workmanship
with the best parts even NOS parts if nothing 'sounds' better!!!

I am still amazed at the value of the products since the prices are so low it's nuts!!!

CONCLUSION
One listen and the damn thing sells itself. Definitely a gotta have. I see Guitar World has jumped on it.
So others will not be far off. A great time to get yours before the guy gets nuts with orders!!!
It was not so long ago I can remember getting my much loved Byrd Song treble booster just before the damn burst with orders.
In fact I love the Byrd Song so much I bought a guitar to go with it. I digress and it is a long story. But I did buy that guitar. I would die to not have the Byrd Song!
Ananashead pedals can do sh@t like that to you. LOL
Go ahead listen to a few of the big boys then come back here and whip out your flexible friend and get yourself the real deal!!!!
