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!
