Tremolo (oscillator) shaped optical mini jacks 6.3 guitare.2 pedal input and output and a power supply 9V, 2.1 mm plug. A speed potentiometer, a quick and intensity for another mini-potentiometer for varying the shape of the signal.

UTILIZATION

The usage is simple and manual English / Chinese, moreover summary is useless.
But the knobs have a small mark hard to see. Must be set to the ear. They are effective and not cause excessive caricature. Note in passing that if the trimpots passing in front tends to become the rule, there is much to fear for ergonomics.
The big - in fact normal - speed potentiometer ranges from very slow to very fast. In my opinion one third of the race was musically useful. The remaining product quirks that might not be to everyone's taste.

SOUND QUALITY

Within a classical setting, in connection with the pace that we play, vibrato is very good, even magical and mesmerizing. It certainly has cost many Chinese designers to recognize the Fender vibrato lamp was the model to copy.
But there are still flaws. The least important is the boost of about 3 db (this is clearly audible), which also colors the way his tone corrector for low-volume listening good hi-fi amps The breath is not important.
The default highlight is that the true-bypass is not controlled appellation. If the pedal is placed only between the guitar and the amp, one perceives a tic-tic effect when cutting. The operating noise disappears when inserting an overdrive or other effects tremolo before. So you need a buffer.
On the other hand, with a normal volume, eg sound level of a sax that is not afraid to play, use the on / off switch causes clearly audible clack ...

OVERALL OPINION

It only took me a few tens of minutes to highlight the strengths and weaknesses of this "Trelicopter." And I'm just an amateur. So what vibrato Mooer Trelicopter is difficult to use for recording or on stage because of its operating noise appendices but not negligible. His classic good anyway. If the range of effects Mooer enhanced by masterful demonstrations on the net (Prymaxe, for example) has the same weaknesses, it is better not to be tempted.
