Empress Tremolo

I got an Amazon gift card for my birthday with the instructions to buy something fun with it, to splurge a little. This is what I chose. I don't really *need* a tremolo (I'm not a performer), but it sure is fun to play with!I researched a lot of tremolo pedals before deciding on this one (thanks, ProGuitarShop! I owe you one). I chose it primarily because of what I heard, but also due to the impressive amounts of controls that are available. If there's a certain trem sound you're trying to achieve, I can almost guarantee you can get it with this box! I won't go over all the controls because that's in the product description. I can tell you that tap tempo is *awesome*, almost a must-have. It will spoil you. The tube style trem is great for all-around applications, while the square style is a lot of fun to play with. I haven't used the triangle much yet, but then again I just got the box.Besides tap tempo, another feature that is unique and awesome is the rhythm settings. Check around on YouTube for some demos of them. It's a nice touch that really sets this product apart from other tremolo effects.On the negative side, there are a few small things that I don't like, though not deal-breakers. First, the tempo LED will continue to flash as long as the unit has power. That can be annoying for home hobbyists like myself. Second, there is no way to save presets. Finally, this unit does not run on battery power, yet an AC adapter must be purchased separately.Even with those few minor concerns, I still rate this product as five stars due to sound and features.

I was a full-time touring musician until the age of 36 and have been playing part-time for the 20+ years after that, so I've seen and heard a lot. This box is simply fantastic. Very quiet. I love the tap tempo. But perhaps the best part of this pedal is the different rhythms offered. I can't wait to put my own signature effect on some new originals.

This pedal is has the clarity and tone of an analog (because it is) but the features and technology of a digital tremolo. There really is absolutely no other pedal worth buying. If you are on the fence about tremolo pedals don't think a second longer, buy this pedal and you will not be dissapointed.

Empress Company makes their pedals with a good quality control. Not only a pristine sound come from their powerful toys but these are very well constructed. I'm amaze by its sound. Get pedals from Empress you won't regret!

Bought this as a Christmas present for my teenage son. Received it in 2 days (last minute shopping). My son loves it. Has spent many hours playing guitar since Christmas.

THIS PEDAL IS AWESOME! NOT A TOY BUT VERY SERIOUS EFFECTS PEDAL. WOULDN'T WANT TO B WITHOUT THIS PEDAL IN NASHVILLE. BEAUTIFUL NOISEFREE OPERATION. CAN'T BRAG ON SOUND AND QUALITY ENOUGH!
