Two knobs: Intensity & speed. Intuitive.

Sound Quality : 9
Creedence, Beach Boys, & others - easy to nail. No noise to speak of. Would love to compare to a real Fender with the built-in effect on board but I can't so I won't. Sorry.

Reliability : 9
It's there for me, baby.

No input. Can't relate. No problem.

Overall Rating : 9
All styles played. (many poorly) 30 years trying to emulate those who have "made it". This item allows me to emulate the tremolo effect I hear on recorded music. It's a winner in my opinion (I'm not particularly picky, but this unit is pretty cool in dialing in the sounds I need).

No brainer. If you have eyes and ears you will know what to do. (Eyes optional)

Great, especially for the price. WAY better than a BOSS stereo pan pedal I had.

So far, so good. Construction looks very good inside the unit.

Haven't spoken with them, so no comment.

I agree with the previous post in all regards. I just want to add that Voodoo Labs pedals eat up batteries very quickly. I have considered their external power supply, but at $200 list there are other things that come first.
None the less, the Tremolo pedal sounds wonderful and show be considered when shopping for a tremolo pedal. I would replace it if I had to.

Very simple pedal. It has a knob for intensity and a knob speed. Plus it has a DPDT switch for true bypass. Hidden on the inside on the circuit board is a jumper switch to select either 'swell' or 'pulse' modes, not a very convenient method of switching waveforms but it works. Powered by 1 9 volt or AC adapter, manual says that it takes 30 seconds to warm up but it's not really that long. The manual is useless and only tell about the Voodoo Lab pedal line and how to change the battery. I believe they should make it a little more known that the modulation form is switchable as many people have probably passsed this pedal up because they didn't know, also the manual shou;d explain about the jumper switch as many people might not know what it is.

Sound Quality : 9
Doesn't produce any of its own noise, all the noise comes from your amp or other pedals. The noise level fades in and out with the tremolo which many people find annaying, but I've never heard a tremolo pedal that didn't do that. The sound is truly great, the best tremolo pedal I've ever tried. You can go from a light shmmering barely noticeable trem to fast on/off pulses. The speed range is wide and gets very slow and very fast.

Reliability : 9
The only thing I might not trust are the jacks which are plastic. However, the pedals are waranteed for 5 years. I would go without a backup on a gig.

Customer Support : No Opinion
I have written Digital Music Corp many times for product information and have always received information including price lists and even copies of manuals.

Overall Rating : 9
I would buy it again definitely. If I wanted to spend more money I have considered the Diaz Tremodillo or the Fulltone Supatrem, but for the price I beleive it's the best tremolo pedal made. I also considered the Dunlop TS-1 which is just slightly more expensive and I did not like it nearly as much. It had more features but it didn't sound as nutural to me, I couldn't get the intensity light enough for a subtle light vibe, and the speed control was too sensitive making it harder to quickly dial in the speed I wanted. The Dunlop does not have true bypass either. The only thing i could ask for is an external waveform switch rather than the little jumper, but other than that I truly dig this pedal.
