Manufacturer's Description for Voodoo Lab Tremolo Pedal
The Voodoo Lab Tremolo re-creates the buttery, seductive tone of a vintage tube amp tremolo. This is accomplished by using the same lamp and photocell assembly found in many popular vintage amps. This pedal also features a slope control which lets you adjust the feel from a traditional soothing tremolo to a hard 'machine-gun' stutter. Speed and intensity controls provide a wide range to include very slow and deep sounds. A volume control lets you cut or boost the output level. Now you can add warm, mind-bending trem vibes to any amp with the most versatile tremolo available.
"Nicely voiced, with very slow and very fast speeds..." -Guitar Player

What Our Customers Are Saying About zZounds
"The incredible staff at zZounds took the time to walk me through my purchase, making sure I didn't have to spend a lot of extra money on gear that had features I wouldn't need." - customer on February 2nd, 2012
"If it's tremolo you want, this is the one to get!"
Sound:
I'm not a fan of add-on pedals and effects, but my budget doesn't allow me to spend thousands of dollars on a vintage amp that just happens to have that 60s tremolo effect. I've used it for nearly a year, and for a change, the advertising hype seems accurate — the sound is (or you can easily make it) "buttery" and seductive, or hard-edged and stuttering. It adds nothing to the tone of your amp, and at least with my Fishman amp, it produces no noise at all in the background. This is good stuff!!
Feature:
The four dials really do affect the way your guitar sounds through the pedal, and I was surprised to find how sensitive they are to small adjustments, with consequences you can hear through your guitar and amp right away. It has its own volume control, which I find really useful, since it doesn't affect the overall volume when I'm playing, just the volume of the tremolo itself.
Ease of Use:
I had to play around with the various controls for a while to get a feel for which dial does what, and how the combinations sound, but as a previous reviewer wrote, once you find a sweet spot (or 3 or 4) that you like, the tone and sound is just gorgeous.
Quality:
The box seems sturdy enough, as do the dials. I've read reviews elsewhere by some players who think the foot switch is flimsy, but it seems plenty sturdy to me, and I've had no mechanical or electrical problems at all. I don't have a backup for this unit, and don't feel I need one (mostly because I'm not that dependent upon effects). If it broke, I'd replace it right away, but not in "panic" mode.
Value:
This tremolo pedal seems to me an excellent value for the dollar. It's kind of a specialized effect, but for some songs, and especially for solo work while someone else is carrying the heavy load playing rhythm, this tremolo is dynamite. Really excellent period sounds for a reasonable price.
Manufacturer Support:
I've not had to deal with Voodoo Labs at all, so I can't speak to the first few questions here. I've not needed the warranty, and repairs or servicing have not been necessary in the 8 months I've had and used the pedal.
The Wow Factor:
I wanted to be able to produce/get that 60s tremolo sounds, and don't much care what the unit looks like. It looks like an effects box, which is fine with me. The sound has lived up to my every expectation.
Overall:
This pedal has met every expectation I had, and produces superb sound without noise or other hassles. Step on the footswitch and play. The Voodoo Lab unit produces cleaner, more authentic (I'm old enough to have lived through the 60s) tremolo sound than other units I tried, and I'd replace mine right away if it broke or disappeared. It's priced a bit more than some others, a bit less than some others, but of the half dozen or so that I tried, this unit was the best by a wide margin.
