Ease of Use : 9
Super easy to figure out. 2 knobs(rate & depth) + a volume knob on side of effect housing. Knobs are all easy to get to. LED blinks/swells with rate of tremelo effect to visually set tempo.

Would be nice to have some type of tap tempo to set rate to exact specs, but again with the quality LED and your ears you can get it there.

Sound Quality : 10
None of my favorite guitarist are tremelo junkies or anything like that, I just bought the effect b/c I liked tremelo. Sound quality is definately a 10. This pedal adds absolutely zero noise to your rig, which is a big deal for me. The effect is very smooth sounding and has a wide range of both depth and rate levels to customize sound to your specs. The volume knob is a plus too. I buy a lot of gear online without playing it and have bought a few pedals with no volume control and when I turned them on my signal was boosted like 6 decibals; needless to say they were returned. This effect has a volume knob so you can use it as a boost, keep in grace with current volume level, or drop off, whatever you want.

True bypass switching preserves tone, but creates a slight "click" when engaging/disengaging pedal. Nothing too harsh though, i'll still give it a 10.

Reliability : 10
Had it for about 2 months. Seems very well built. I was impressed how solid and fluid the pots feel. Hand wired, hand painted. No worries for me...

Customer Support : No Opinion
Haven't dealt with them. I hear they're an up and comer. I would buy more of their effects in the future without hesitation.

Overall Rating : 10
Been playing for 6-7 years??? I play my own weird style of music; love ambience. This pedal works for me. Has amazing sound and ZERO NOISE, which is impressive.

Frankenstein Strat w/ SD JB in bridge and Gibson 57 classic in neck->Cry Baby Q->Boss TU-2->Guyatone Slow Volume->Boss PS-5->Boss CS-3->MXR EVH Phaser->Fluttertone->Tech 21 Reverb->Boss DD3->Boss DD6->Budda Superdrive 30 Watt Combo->Ears.

I would definately replace this pedal if it were stolen, or eaten. Very good sound, nicely put together, easy to use.

I compared it to a boss and a few other trems; wiggler ect. Read reviews on this site and chose to go with it, not dissapointed, if I were I would have sent it back.

Also, easy to use "useably". By that I mean I can fit it into songs easily if I choose to do so. I play for my church 2x a week and it's been used every worship set so far.

Easy to use, 2 knobs - Depth & Speed, plus addl. small volume knob on side. Bright LED pulses to indicate speed setting.

Sound Quality : 10
Close to or/ as good as any amp unit I've used, IMO - better, in that overall volume can be increased/decreased (boost if desired), when kicked in. Unit is quiet when in use.

Reliability : 10
Unit seems well built, have not had any problems. Have been using without a backup.

Customer Support : No Opinion
Have not had to deal with company.

Overall Rating : 10
Play mostly Classic Rock/Blues, etc. - works well when needed for this. Have been playing 30+ years. Use primarily with Gibson LP, Fender Strat, Fender Tele > var. pedals > Dr Z RT 66 > Airbrake > ToneTubby speakers/cabs. Also use occasionally w/ older Fender Champs - sound good thru these as well! Would replace if lost/stolen.

Strong suit...very communicative, responsive and good warranty/guarantee. I wanted the unit to go a bit faster on the higher end and I shipped it back and Kaden modified it to go faster. Very cool of them. Free mods too....get em' while they last!

Overall Rating : 10
I play original guitar based pop/rock and am picky about my tone. I was looking for some good analog pedals that weren't so brittle and...well...stock. I wanted something unique and different. I got just what I was looking for. These pedals are light too, which I really like. I am having them mod a delay and a wah pedal for me now I am so pleased. Check them out...free mods for now and excellent customer service. Highly recommend!!!

Easy to use, Volume, Depth, Rate Knobs. Gave it a nine only because it can be difficult to get the exact rate you want as the speed increases quite a bit in a fairly slight turn.

Sound Quality : 9
Very happy with the sound on this one.

ES-335 -> TS9 (808 Mod) -> TS9 -> Keeley Java Boost -> Fluttertone -> Keeley Compressor -> EB Volume -> Mesa Boogie DC10 (Ibanez AD-202 in Effects Loop.

I am very pickey about pedals, My guitar and amp sound fantastic all by themselves so when adding something to the mix I tend to take my time. I looked at all the tremolos out there and actually took a chance on this one. New Company had this pedal on ebay and I decided to take a chance. Very Pleased.

Reliability : No Opinion
So far so good

Customer Support : 10
Very good customer service during purchase. Fast Shipment and good communication. Also has a warranty and I can return it if I decide I don't like it.

Overall Rating : 10
Overall I am very pleased with this pedal. It is very warm sounding and goes along great with my analog delay and adds depth and fun to my vintage tone.
