Analog Tremolo
PSU: 9V battery or mains
UTILIZATION
Usual settings for this type of effect: rate (speed), depth (depth) and wave (setting allows precise enough in terms of the waveform).
It could not be simpler. The knobs are effective, your ears do the rest.
SOUND QUALITY
A tremolo is a simple fact.
I do not see how one could create a "bad" tremolo ... unless the pots are hyper rotten, the signal color, the background noise and the big plastic box ... This is absolutely not the case for the Boss TR-2.
The sound it produces is soft and will do to give a report to your vintage chords and arpeggios.
I read that the pedal did not sound the same as it is plugged into the effect loop or between the guitar and the amp. I took the test and I have nothing found. I have an effect on my balance effect loop and if one puts his dry up the effect is exactly the same as if the pedal between the guitar and the amp. If you do not have this setting, perhaps by default as the balance is not up, in which case you will always have your dry signal at the same time, thereby reducing the dynamics of the Tremolo.
I also saw that some were talking about a drop in volume when the effect started. This is to verify, but it seems normal that the effect gives the impression of a lower volume since the wave is softened, and with a high rate, I assume that an average ear .
OVERALL OPINION
+ Tremolo a simple and effective
+ Quality and robustness Boss
+ Vintage charm
- A tap tempo is always welcome with this kind of effect
- No output for stereo panner effect
