Tremolo pedal shootout Fulltone Supatrem T-Rex Tremster Boss

[ohjames88]

EHX STEREO PULSAR ...nuff said :)



[FreddyFuFu]

It was hard to differentiate between them all.

[wajang1000]

Just me, but a trem or vibrato pedal sounds sterile compared to actual fingers or a trem bar which both sound more human and natural.

[xXJMoneyXx]

can you say "HOLY SHIT! NOW THAT'S A LOT OF CUM!" in a video please? its the only real way to discover your identity..

[goodsung1]

t rex n°1

[theallss]

anyone, what kind of powersupply that works with the fulltone supatrem? can I use a normal boss style adaptor?

[calogeiro]

Please Mr. Jack black, would please tell me the name of the openning song!?

This video helped me a lot as most of yours! thanks a lot dude!

[TheblackbirdsSC]

first off great demo, highly appreciated.

second... who the hell buys three tremolo pedals for their pedal board? haha

[bmwz20]

is the fulltone supa trem analog?

[44eelz]

for the price the Boss is pretty cool, i tried one and it wasnt dull sounding like i thought it would be

[treeunit212]

Probably something you want to try yourself before buying.

[HoraceLime]

I have an early Tremodillo made by the man--Cesar Diaz himself that is very Fender Blackface Trem circuit sounding. Chicken head knobs are foot-tweekable on stage if you are barefoot or just wearing sox!

[Nirvanaareawesome]

he likes the middle one cos it has big knobs XD

[slashnpraise]

i think it's quite ironic that Boss is hated so muchfor being considered the norm in guitar effects pedal companies, but it's being left these days so mch that it's becoming the ONLY different guitar effects company lol

[XFattMonsterX]

666 Videos how evil of you! Thanks for the review of these pedals. Tough to find a great tremolo!

[metrakos]

Gearmanndude, I like your vids; you have helped me make decisions on recent purchases of fulltone and wampler, and u have a good sense of humour.

I am thinking of replacing my vox cooltron trem for the fulltone. What is your opinion?

[Seishinbunretsusho]

Not all Boss pedals suck, case in point: the TR-2. I hadn't experienced a volume drop or any tone suck with mine, and it sounds better than the other pedals in this video. In no way is it a Tremulator, but for $75, I'll take it.

[slashnpraise]

@Seishinbunretsusho

Agreed, Boss makes some great pedals. For example, the BD-2 will kill a TS-9. The DD-7 is an all analog bypass which does not digitize your guitar signal which causes lag and tone suck (unlike the Lie 6 DL4) and the TR-2's have been known to have a volume drop but this was fixed officially by Boss 2 years ago

[Ncuab]

The T-Rex sounds brighter and not as sterile as the TR-2. But the Supa Trem's warmth and versatility makes it worth its money. I know that the Line 6 Tone-Core Tremolo has a tap tempo feature, which seems very useful.

[765micha]

does the supa-trem have tap tempo?

[BoothJudas]

in one of your videos can you PLEASE say "COCK PUSH-UPS." that is all

[fendermac]

I love my Tremster...in a healthy kinda way.Lol

[AceOnTheBass100]

Monte Allums has an under $30 mod for the Boss TR-2 that he claims makes it comparable to the more expensive boutique tremolo pedals. Has anybody tried it or know what it sounds like?

[sonicmilk]

nothing compares to the tremolo that is built in to my fender pro reverb.

[guitarman4871]

its jack black

[BKellyS]

@guitarman4871 Lol yeah his voice does sound a little like jack black..."here we gooo!" lol... Good review tho', thanks!

[Tim8tei]

Could someone tell me what's the difference between a delay and a tremelo? It ''kinda'' does the same thing or am I missing something.

[dirtyzine]

A delay essentially echoes what you play, whilst a tremolo gives you that type of helicopter sound and cuts up anything you play through it

[BlueCrayolaMarker]

a delay echoes the sounds of the guitar. like if you were to stand on a cliff and yell.

a tremolo is like if you were to yell and open and close your mouth with your hand quickly.

i hope that helped.

[MrPelicanPants]

A delay pedal takes your signal, copies it, and repeats it, creating echoes (you can do other things with a good delay besides just echo, but that's the main concept everything is based on). A tremolo pedal just turns the volume of your signal up and down at a fixed rate, as if someone had hold of the volume knob on your amp and were constantly moving it back and forth.

[stgarp85]

fulltone sounds superb, boss is OK, but T rex sucks and its costly

[walterockmx]

@stgarp85 Boss is Ok but!

BOSS TR 2 KEELEY MOD is GREAT!!!

:D

[44eelz]

what about the buffer in boss pedals?

[aektzis91]

the boss sounds good enough for me

[weerpool14]

The snakeskin boots rocks! Hey gearmandude! You should do a snakeskin boots shootout next!!!!

[LesPaulCryBaby]

Compared a EH Pulsar(?) with the Boss TR2 in a store yesterday. Bought the Boss. =)

[ROGEBRASIL]

Boss = good and cheaply.

[BluPup8]

ps adds mids as in nasally, like the mids a TS9 can add. My 2c

[BluPup8]

The red one adds treble and the black one adds mids. The green one doesn't do anything to the tone. I think it's better since tremolo is a volume modulation and therefore shouldn't effect the tone.

[matt926uk1]

nice boots, i have the boss tremelo,

[44eelz]

if you have a Hard mode on the Supa Trem then turn it off, will it still be in Hard mode when u turn it back on or do you have to press it again?...same with the speed button??

[AwesomeBuddy12]

KILLER BOOTS MAN!!!!

[Frowned]

The guy has a negative opinion on someone else's boots so that makes him gay and means he has a foot fetish? I think you're a little too sensitive when it comes to other peoples' opinions about footwear.

[ShameofaNation]

This video is not about boots, it is about pedals.

[Amulius]

Yet, none of this has to do with Music at all... I came here for a demo, and to hear other people's feedback on these specific pedals. Boots has nothing to do with it, it's that fact it had nothing to do with this video at all.

So these pedals are fairly versatile?

[LesPaulRockerProduct]

how much is the tr 2

[ASTROAVERY]

$99

[xACIDxHEADx]

lol the end of your youtube link says

"bee APE"

[christiandx3]

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHHA

[TheDudeManGuyDude]

I never really cared too much for tremolo, but great video!

[gearmanndude]

For what its worth, I just put this demo up to show the difference between a $75, a $200, and a $300 trem pedal. I dig the SupaTrem for me, but they all have their good, and BAD qualities...just glad to see y'all checkin out the clip...profanity is always encouraged in the Gearmanndude world, so please keep it up!

ROCK ON!

GMD

[bigtophalloween]

Before I bad mouth your favorite trem anymore perhaps you can answer me this: Does your Supa Trem add a sort of heavy compression to your sound when it's on? Mine did and it sounded like ASS, hence my disdain for it. It sounds o.k. on your vid, but it didn't cut the mustard trough a Bogner Shiva effects loop. Please keep making vids, GMD!

[SingleCoilVoodoo]

@gearmanndude GMD...I know it has been a crap ton o' time ago, and not sure if you are still rockin' the SupaTrem, but how does it act with a dirt (Luther) pedal thrown in the front of it? Demo by any chance?

KEEP ROCKIN'

[BrettHoustonTube]

My vote goes with the Tremster. I was leaning towards the Supa Trem before I heard this.

Thanks.

[bigtophalloween]

Dude, you dodged a bullet. The Supa Trem BLOWS. Out of all the trems I've tried/owned, it's my least favorite. I love the Diaz Tremodillo, but it isn't true bypass and doesn't necessarily play nice with other pedals. Regardless, I think it's the best I've ever heard on the trem front. The Tremster sounds pretty cool too.

[BrettHoustonTube]

Yeah, the Diaz is smooth. The Red Witch is pretty versatile and bitchin on it's own, if you haven't tried that you should.

[bigtophalloween]

I've always been curious about those Red Witch Pedals, maybe I'll check 'em out.

[hodowncorexxx]

The tremster to me was the best sounding one.

The boss sounded like pure asshole.

[bigtophalloween]

Fulltone is pretty much the same as Boss, I'm afraid, Mike Fuller is doing the same cost cutting, self serving crap that boss always has, he just charges a lot more for it.

[bigtophalloween]

Wow, nice reply, don't forget to take your meds. Of COURSE they cut costs. Why do you think there's four different versions of the OCD pedal? Fuller found cheaper op amps and redesigned the pedal around them.  He does it quite regularly. Don't kid yourself, there are better pedals for the money. Oh, and you forgot the "h" in paperweights. Dumb ass.

[bigtophalloween]

Leave it to you pompous douchebag types to get their panties in a bunch about a matter of opinion and try to justify their ignorance with half assed logic. Your mom must be so proud of you. Learn how to spell, idiot...

[polishcomedy]

wrighting?

[cranepalm]

Damn good demo mate.

I like the way you've played a consistant groove along with

the same music and seperated nicely with even musical bars.

You can actually here the comparison sensibly!

[leozingy]

Wow, I've just ordered a T-Rex Tremster and this demo convinced me I made the right choice! Skadoosh! Love your demos, GD!

[jcmusic724]

as always, great demo. I suggest picking up a catalinbread semaphore. AWESOME trem pedal that can be used as a great fat boost as well.

[breuerfreund]

The guitar-player-guy really sounds like Jack Black!

[HammondB200]

wiggler and pulsar are from ehx

[HammondB200]

yes i did, kind of bastard reaction from me to correct you as I already got your point.

excuse

[amarr1]

i inferred that you have no idea on what you're talking about

[discotechwreck]

have you tried the Empress Tremolo?

I would seriously recommend it

thanks for the sounds on the T-Rex

[MMZen]

I like the TR-2 because it has a blend knob between the hard square wave and triangle wave instead of just an on/off switch. I saw one of those boutique pedals that had a crazy amount of variations in how you could tweak the tremolo settings.

[bugjr]

Great review, very informative thanks!

As the other guy said, nice boots, but they do kinda clash with your carpet!!

[dannygatton1]

I'm quite a fan of the boots. Your pedal demos are pretty great too.

[fabbola]

The Boss Tremolo is actually one of their better pedals. I have a Keeley modded TR-2 with the volume knob added and it's actually very good. If you have a good sound to start with, probably, alot of tremolos out there will satisfy. Good review as always.

[soypolitico]

do you know if the Keeley has true by-pass?

[fabbola]

The keeley is not true bypass.
