All user reviews for the Artec SE-VTM Vintage Tremolo

Tremolo 9V powered analog pedal classic format.

3 knobs: speed, level and depth

Metal enclosure with access door to the battery.
This is quite convenient, there is nothing to unscrew!

Basic metal, that the solid area, except the switch.

UTILIZATION

I use a laney cub 12R amp lamp positioned in the effects loop.
The guitar is a gibson.
Mainly used for rock, his clear and distortion.
Knobs move easily, but there are small marks that helps to easily find my favorite settings.
I had difficulty to introduce jacks, but I think it is normal for a new product ...
I do not use ONLY on battery.

SOUND QUALITY

The effect is quite flexible, the tremolo is not sharp so it does not make sounds extreme.
The speed range is wide enough, but the beach is down deph for my taste too low: the tremolo is always a pronounced minimum, right at the beginning that surprising, but ultimately it suits me!
There is no breath when I put it in the effects loop through against the front (which should be the case for the previous opinion) there are more (but not much either) and the effect renders a less musical.
The volume knob is convenient because the tremolo effect can sometimes give the impression that the sound is less strong. This volume does not add particular breath (in effects loop).
Note that when I'm not playing, switch the effect causes a plop.
When I play the sound does not hear.

Finally, note that vintage tremolo sounds.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two weeks. This is my first tremolo and for that price I am fully satisfied.
No breath pedal engaged or not (true bypass it seems), and I can get a large pallet of sounds.
For something rock solid for a registry at a minimum price, it is really top!

Tremolo analog format supplied with 9V pedal classic.

3 knobs: speed, level and depth

Metal box with door access to the battery

In short, nothing that unusual, it's clean, solid and simple!



UTILIZATION

The manual is well done, the packaging is more than correct. The overall impression is very good before use.

Editing sounds is done via 3 potentiometers old.

That said, the pedal does not allow to construct extreme tremolo effects, or make the lace, a greater dynamic range for the "speed" and "depth" is really lacking.



The switch is really rotten and the led is really not visible on stage. They have made savings in artec!



SOUND QUALITY

Well, in short: Pedal especially not to buy!

The blast generated box is amazing, even when the effect is minimal.

The bypass is sad, the sound of scratching, arriving to the amp gets really dirty.

The available settings are pitiful: Unable to create a soft tremolo to round out the sound of your Gratt ', but also impossible to create a violent. The pedal is between two worlds: a triangular tremolo not musical at all, no grain and no assayable!

I strongly recommend!

OVERALL OPINION

I used it for about twenty minutes, I told myself that I still get to draw something good ...

The quality is average price, 30 € for troubleshooting in case of big glitch on stage with a real tremolo.
