REVERB/TREM- KEELEY ELECTRONICS Zoma___NEW___ too big? too little? too much?

K E E L E Y ELECTRONICS

  ZOMA 

$230.00 USD

It became a 'thing' when Fender put it in their amps. The Tremolo less than the Reverb as the Trem became more in your face so it became in and out of fashion. The Spring Reverb was very effective when used like a frame on a painting that enhanced your sound not a thing that became your sound. It was always on but used sparingly. Modern Verbs have become total Shoegaze 

and Star Wars. They are now relatively cheap to make and there 

is a massive glut of choices. Like too much of anything it becomes yesterday's news and even the idea of it is on its way to become dated. Is the Zoma too little too late?

The layout is Depth, Rate and Level. A toggle lets you choose 

3 voicings. Spring & sine Tremolo (the classic Fender thing). 

Plate & Harmonic Trem. and Plate & Pitch Vibrato. 

   CONCLUSION ___ 

The whole marketing vibe is vaguely Indie Alt aimed at the Premier Guitar Magazine bands. The cool players in that crowd use an always on Spring & either no Trem or the occasional Trem. Think Robben Ford not Dick Dale. 

The Tone City Little Spring v.2 does a stellar job and it's just $55.00 USD.
