  • So.... are you not able to tune in drop D in Hardtail mode?

  • Perfect! I've been researching tremolo blocking for a while. Aside from the chunk of wood mod all other methods required me to drill a hole or alter my guitar in a way that would be permanent. The fact that I can install the Tremol-No and still be able to return my guitar to stock is what sold me. Besides, the simplicity of switching between hard tail, dive only and free floating is just awesome. Can't wait to get mine.

  • How well does this work on a strat bridge ?

  • @gnrcr on such a common guitar type. probobly 100%

  • @gnrcr why would you put it in a strat man... its not for that... strat is already in a "dive only mode"... unless you would put a floyd rose on your strat... and dont forget the locking nut...

  • @vahnrondel ...because I'd like to go into Drop D tuning and be perfectly in tune ???

  • 2:11 lol, what an ass.

  • oh my god that part when he cuts the string

  • J'ai toujours pas bien compris à quoi ça servait.... si une âme aimable pouvait m'aider.

  • My heart stopped when he cut the sring :(

    NOOOO! R.I.P!

  • Can u change the tuning like a hard tail in hard tail mode ?

  • @coffeeflush Only if you unlock the nut.

  • make a pattern that doesn't allow the guitar to buzz.

  • nooooo not the string........

    

  • wow thats pretty awesome but im pretty sure there is even one catch

  • i was planing to sell my guitar i love to play because i never used the trem but i liked the feel of it and it was allways a drag to change strings and what ever, but this just solves everything!

  • 2:08 LOL

  • hmm... this Tremol-no is a really good design, but i have my complaints about it... one, with those thumbscrews to set hardtail mode in, but you're not IN hardtail mode, standing up, without a backplate, those screws are loose and will fall out. i've already lost one from that. so i just keep them in my pocket rather than leave em in.

    also, the piston design creates friction and it's a small detriment to tuning. not too noticeable when playing, though, but i'm OCD.

  • so this is for people who don't want to do dimebag squeals and other cool stuff?

    the inly reason i would buy this is for the dive only mode so i can tune i to a different tuning and then after that switch back to full floating mode

  • @wrestlingfan12321 You can't. Or you can...with help of an hex wrench. So you have to say to guys in the band "hold on a minute while I tune to my original tuning and after that move the Deep-C with a wrench."

  • @Fons1958 whell i dont have the money to buy a spare guitar

    in a different tuning so this would be a better sollution

  • @wrestlingfan12321 Fine. Just don't expect heaven. The Tremol-no "deep-C" locking thumbwheel (which is operated by your fingers) can only just hold going from low E to D...but now, if you rest your hand on your trem a little pressure wil push it totaly out of tune. To really lock the "Deep-C" thumbwheel you have to remove this thumwheel and replace it with an allen screw. By now you can not switch from dive-only mode to free-floating without using a hex wrench. Don't say I did not warn you.

  • @Fons1958 i don't have the money right now any ways so i'll begin to just get used to a floyd and do all the other stuff later

  • @wrestlingfan12321 Again: You can not change from dive-only to full floating without a allan key. It just doesn't hold down tunings with that (deep-c) thumbwheel because the tremolo slips totaly out of tune just by resting your hand on the tremolo. Therefore you have to change that thumbwheel for a allan screw to hold down tunings secure. Tremolo-no is a product which is not yet perfect and the inventor should improve on what could be a very nice product...which it isn't just yet.

  • Where ca i get one of these?

  • I had to replace the "Deep-C" thumbwheel for the allen screw to hold any other downtuning then E to D...with the "Deep-C" (funny name) thumbwheel I could not rest my hand on the trem as it was out of tune with the slightest pressure. So I'm stuck with a trem that go's down only which can not change to floating "on the fly" as in this video. Just saying.

  • Hey Kev...remember me? I'm the guy you shipped the ART to in SC about 10 years ago. I'll never forget the day it showed up at my office! I left work early that day!

    Anywho, hope you're well! Contact me at awbx100@optimum.net. I'll tell you some interesting Tremol-No stories!

    God Bless!

  • So... If U use "hardtail" u can tune the guitar from E to lets say C and you don't have to adjust tremolo?

  • @Octavarium666xyz That's the idea.

  • So its like a tremelo blocker, but you can turn it on/off whenever you want?

    I'm buying this.

    NOW!

  • i see people just doing demo vids down to drop D and back to standard. cant u go to ANY tuning??

  • if i want to tune from e standard to drop b or something like that (if the guitar is in hardtail mode) do i have to do anything special? or can i just down tune

  • can i go from standard e tuning to drop c or d standard and back again when the bridge is locked with out merssing with the spring tension at the back ??

  • I got one of these for my Floyd Rose equipped EC-1000. It works perfectly (I have tested it with an electronic tuner), I can drop tune and bend strings without the others going out of tune. This is a truly amazing product and a must buy for anyone with a floating bridge guitar.

  • So someone tell me, If i had this installed (lets say in standard E) and i unlock the head nuts and de-tune my guitar down to drop A (not using the fine tuners) then lock it back up, this will work?

  • GOTTA......GET ONE DAMN IT!!!!!!

  • 4:08 --> I love that sweet lead sound!! How did he get it?

  • @Anze491992

    Neck humbucker, tone rolled off, good dynamic guitar amp.

  • So I'm buying a new guitar with floyd rose and my past guitars havent had this type of bridge before so I have never had any experience with tune locking. I understand how it keeps the guitar in tune etc. etc. But I play alot of hardcore and metal that alternates between the dropped tunings. So basically what your saying is that if I install the tremolno I can change my tunings?

  • @98767jack if you lock it, you can change tunings but it will have to stay locked. however, if you want to use the trem, you WILLhave to reset the entire trem which is a serious pain in the ass haha. but if the tremol-no is in fixed bridge mode, you can go from standard to drop F# if you want without resetting anything. make sense?

  • Is it just me or does the guy in this video (left) look like RVD

  • I you have a "big block" installed, is it still possible to install this???

  • Excellent piece of kit - maybe all Floyd's should come with one!

  • my question though, is, if you detune, can you unlock the tremol-no and keep your detuned strings in tune?

  • @aph613 probably not, did you see when he turned the tremol-no off and all the strings like totally killed themselves? yeah...

  • @aph613 no. its not a quick tuning device. you still need to loosen the springs in back in order for the trem to stay in tune after unlocking the tremol-no

  • I've had this thing for a couple of years for my Licensed Floyd Rose. It's awesome to be able to tune down to drop D and stuff like that. Saying that it works "just like a hardtail would" is not true, though. It is better than before, but you can still hear that it's a Floyd Rose equipped guitar. I have tightened everything there is to tighten, and yet the bridge isn't completely hardtail. Just FYI. I still think it's a great product.

  • just installed my Tremol-no...easy to do and awesome. Guitar sounds like it has more sustain! Lovin it!

  • This is sweet -- im ordering one now

  • So is this saying that I can down-tune, plus pull up on the tremolo also?

  • hello

    what was that song played at end?

    very nice...

    thanks

  • laughed at robs face when that dude cut his string :LL

  • is this product available in Malaysia??coz i really want to buy it...

  • With the floating mode, will i still be able to do some Dimebag Darrel tricks or some motrocycle noises , or will it break the 'tremol-no' ?

  • ok i want to get RID of my floyd rose. i want a regular bridge or whatever it's called

  • @thomascatlett555 replacing a floating tremolo is a pain in the ass, your best bet would be to get this tremol-no, or get a new guitar with a fixed bridge

  • this took the fear out of the trem equipped guitar for me

  • were do i buy one? lol

  • probably it has been asked alredy, but, anyways, it will match licensed/original floyd rose also, right?

  • @oleksiypilyugin Just installed it on a licensed floyd rose on my jackon KE3 with no trouble

  • @oleksiypilyugin of course! I have a 7-string and I got one equipped on that bad boy and it works wonders.

  • So the floyd wont even budge while in hardtail mode?

  • @MegaTallicaCovers if you give it some force, yes. but you actually have to WANT to make it move to do that.

  • Can you tune strings UP in Dive-Only or Hard tailed mode aswell as down?

  • Is it possible to put this in hardtail mode and keep my tuning stability that comes with my floyd rose? I don't even use my tremolo, I just like the tuning stability. If not, I can still use my guitar like it's a hardtail, and dick around with whatever tunings I want without screwing anything up, right?

  • Wow, definitely worth buying. I like floating bridges, but not being able to drop tune on the fly is a pain in the ass. And if you don't have the money for multiple guitars for different tunings, like most people, this is a life saver.

    I am definitely buying one.

  • Question:

    Can I tune all strings like a half step down when I´m in Hardtail Mode?

  • @Petruccinho Yup, I've tried and it works great for me. I've even put my Ibanez RG in Drop C just to see what would happen and I didn't have any problems with it. Sure, the string-tension dropped but that's not due to the tremol-no.

  • @Sjusovaren Oh thanks for the answer, I will buy one, hehe =D

  • man! even if I used it only for changing strings...it would save me from wanting to smash my guitar every couple months!! :)

  • If I Lock it and tune it down to drop D ( From standard), and then tune it up and unlocks it, is it in tune?

  • @currykill I also want to know that, so if anyone know please tell :)

  • GRRRR. I want that RG-ART1.

  • @TremolNo what Type I need for a Dean Razorback V 25.5 with a Floyd Rose Licensed Tremolo?

  • Can I still pull the trem bar up if it's in diveonly mode?

  • Imagine he comes to your gig with he's side cutter, to proove a point

  • will it work with a 7 string licensed floyd rose? i checked the website but no mention on 7 strings

  • Couple things:

    *Can you also drop tune while in hardtail mode, or is that only possible with dive-only mode?

    *Can you alter the action of your trem with the tremel-no equipped without there being any major repercussions?

  • nice i want one!

  • can you tune to any alternate tuning in dive only?

  • can you use strings guage 11 - 48 with a tremol-no?

  • is it possible to install tremol-no, and then change strings to more heavy gauge and tune guitar to the other tuning?sorry for bad english. i hope you will understand this post.

    thank you.

    )

  • will it work on a fender jaguar?

  • haha.... Cut!

  • guys how do i get this is in india???

  • A part of me died at 2:11...

  • Brilliant . I'm recommending it

  • Brilliant idea

  • i ve got a schaller tremolo and i use a lot the whammy bar

    do u recomed the samml clamp type or the pin?

  • I forgot to add, will this work for a lefty???

  • So will this work similarly to the tremsetter in the sense that it will bring the trem back to zero point in dive only mode? Pretty much the only thing Ill use it for is hardtail and dive only. Im not asking about if it breaks a string. Im asking about it bringing the trem back to zero after I dive in dive only mode. Thanks!

  • I definitely dig the tremol-no but, i still prefer a straight up hardtail for tone and setups. Once i can "afford a tech" i may go to trem loaded again but, i hate setting up floating trem bridges and they always take away attack. I usualy use taps and double bends to simulate a trem but, a couple axes with a trem and a 'no' would be nice to have still. I LOVE the Ibanez with the maple fretboard. I'm more of a soloist and SG guy but, those were sweet customs.

  • i wish I would have gotten this before sending my guitar with a trem back.........

  • Is there any device in where I happen to break a string, and I'm in full-floating mode, and still be in tune? If not, I'll still use this device because it's quite brilliant just for the dive-only and hardtail mode. Cheers.

  • Hi! I just put Tremol-No in my guitar. When I put the guitar on Hard-tail mode, I tested it by using the whammy bar to depress it. And it moves a little bit, is that normal? P.S, it doesnt move easily, but it does move.

  • Comment removed

  • so, on the dive-only deep-c mode, can I tune the guitar without unlocking the the nut on my floyd rose?? I tried to switch from drop A(seven string) to standard...and back forth. Takes too long and my tuning is not-stable!!

  • @swimmerforlife789 Bringing the tuning up will cause the trem to move forward and make the rest of your strings go out of tune. Deep-C mode will only work for down tuning because down tuning causes the bridge to go back into the trem cavity. You can go from standard to drop A but not drop A to standard, hope this helps.

  • @countmysheep Thank You! What I meant on my comment was that I wanted to use the Deep-C to do drop tuning from Standard(7 String). Now that I know Deep-C will let me do that tuning, I can't for Tremol-no to come in the mail next week!!

  • badd ass product

    GAYASS VIDEO!

  • it is more like an adjustable "blocking" device...so you can choose to block the tremolo or not by adjusting the screws..

    I don't see anything that stablizes the tremolo while it is on floating mode...

  • awesome jam at 4:00

    pretty interesting product

  • I just ordered one of these from Floydupgrades, Adam is a great guy to deal with.

  • So could you set the tremol-no to hardtail mode when you're changing strings to make the whole process much easier? (The tuning/string changing issues with trem-equipped guitars are one of the big reasons I stay clear of them.)

  • @SteeleInd I just got a Tremol-no just for that purpose. I'm using it to block the tremelo instead of the traditional block or stop. The Floyd Rose rep says that this is the most important thing in tuning after changing strings (block the tremelo). There is a great video on youtube that shows how to do this.

  • @MrOrange677

    Thanks so much! This will be incredibly useful knowledge when shopping around for my next guitar.

  • @SteeleInd BTW EBAY is the best source for a good price. The AllParts site had the Tremel-no at 70.00. EBAY you can get it for around 50.00 shipping included.

  • Hey , thanks!!! what is the diference between the Large Clamp one the Large Clamp one and the Pin Type though? and wich one would work better ion a floyd rose guitar ?

  • @Ktulu234 bought mine on all parts' website.

    and yeah, mine slips sometimes, too...

  • Ibanez FTW!

  • Hey , i cant find this thing anywhere :S, at the website says that on samash or guitar center but they dont have it , where can i find it :S?

  • I bought a Tremol-No for my guitar, but I can't install it because holes for those two screws in the spring cavity were drilled right on my guitar (they're not aligned) so when I install the Tremol-No it's crooked and I can't put the back cavity cover back on. I have no clue what to do. Any ideas?

  • i loled @ 2:11, also the tremol-no is the greatest invention since the wheel.

  • @dethklokfan254 3:11 hahahahaha

  • @dethklokfan254 3:08, hahahaa

  • so if i switch to hard tail mode then downtune say whole step down then switch to full floating mode will the bridge still be positioned correctly

  • Comment removed

  • yes duh

  • Its a really good idea, it just dont work as good as they make it look. The clamp that holds the tremol no to the trem block is way too weak. You have to tighten it down real hard to get it to not pop off, when you do that it bends the clamp and it dont work any more. Had a few other problems with it too.

  • Yeah! Totally the same problem that I have... I consider it a WASTE of the 80 bucks I spent on it.

    Very disappointed. I strongly recommend AGAINST paying the money for this.

  • thats a shame, i came on here to see what people were saying about it. id probably still give it a try if it wasnt 80, id make one myself for cheaper :)

  • See my reply for suggestions.

    Thanks.

  • See above for suggestions.

    Thanks.

  • Some trem blocks are slicker than others. PRS trem blocks are like polished glass! I've seen geckos slide down Driskill trem blocks.

    Get a couple of small pieces of address label (free from the post office). Stick them to your trem block where the T-No clamps on.

    Grip problem solved.

  • will i be able to tune my guitar just like one without FR? Cause thats my Problem.

  • @loiklaik yes

  • Yes. In Hardtail mode your guitar will function exactly like a fixed bridge guitar.

  • can you get them in floyd roses/ ibanez edge's and how to they cost and where from???

  • Yes- they work with Floyd Rose tremolo systems.

    You can get them from any AllParts dealer or distributor.

    Check the website for links.

  • Instead of thumb screws should use allen key. Then route the cover so that you have access to them.

  • The Tremol-No comes with (3) set screws (grub screws) that use an allen wrench to tighten/loosen them.

  • So if I want to tune to drop B or drop G I would put this in hardtail only mode then tune with the tunning pegs?

  • Yes.

    Make sure your strings and neck can handle the drop tuning!

  • I find that it's hard to maintain "hard-tail mode"... The slightest bump on the floating bridge makes the Tremolno slip!

    I find that i have to tighten the screws very tight in order for it not to slip. Is this normal?

  • @Mthooz i just installed mine. It works but not as well as I had hoped. If your in dive only and pull up on accident it gets moved out of position and if your in hardtail and bump it then it gets stuck in the wrong tuning until you pull up a little. It seems like you have to be careful and probably remove the tremolo bar if your in hardtail.

  • Yeah - the strength of the screws is pretty weak - you really have to make sure you don't bump the bridge when you are in hard tail mode otherwise the clamp will slip... and yeah you either get suck in the wrong tuning or you lose hard tail mode.

    The clamp just does not hold on tight enough.

    Anyone of the designers or sellers of the tremolno care to comment or give advice about this??????

  • I replied to you above.

    Email me with any other questions.

  • You're correct. The unit is designed to slip if too much pressure is put on it (like with a trem arm). This prevents damage to the guitar/trem/trem arm.

    Remove the trem arm and put it in your back pocket. That's a visual and physical indicator that you've got the Tremol-No engaged.

  • The Tremol-No is DESIGNED to slip!

    It's a safety feature that I built into the units.

    It's much easier to re-set your tuning than to replace a broken trem arm or stripped out claw screws.

  • Ok I understand... The main reason I bought the Tremol-No is so I can have a fixed bridge. I don't really use the whammy bar, so its never in place anyway. The annoying thing was when I use palm muting and put some pressure on the bridge it slips.

    I screwed the tremol-No clamps down real tight until it was digging into the metal! This seems to hold it ok. I guess I would have been better off using a block of wood for hardtail mode!

    But thanx for the explanation, which does make sense.

  • can you tune to drop C???

  • Quote from an old e-mail by Kevan:

    "The T-No can hold a great amount of tension. You should have no

    problem drop-tuning 2 full steps. If the thumbscrews slip, you can use the

    set screws (included). In tests, the thumbscrews held a 7-string Ibanez

    Universe with a .068 Low B string, dropped a full step."

    That's been 2 years ago now... Why didn't I buy this piece back then?! Soon! :)

    tl;dr it should be able to handle C-std with a base tuning of E-std, no probs.

  • Thanks!!!

  • @hahafender thanks man! i ordered one friday! :D i cant wait till i get it!!!!

  • This is the fucking Reason that a Trem isnt bad!

    I buy that shit!

  • Pretty interesting, I wanted an Ibanez RG but i wanted to be able to drop tune and tune down half step. This makes it perfect.

  • Can this get down to drop c?

  • yep. just adjust the springs like you normally would then lock it in there. :)

  • wow, seems pretty handy

  • What the Hell are Double Stops??? Can some one point out what part/time of the vid the guy on the right performs a "Double Stop"???

    or Briefly explain in detail what "DOUBLE STOPS" are. Thanks.

  • Why not search it and see a video of what they are exactly yourself? Learn2Search...

  • Just ordered one. Got a great price. :)

    I've been interested in this device for a long time! I have a few guitars with trems, though. If I decide to install the unit in different guitars, will it be able to take the stress of being uninstalled/reinstalled several times over it's lifespan? Is there any warranty on it?

  • I'm pretty sure being its all metal it'll last as long if not much longer than a normal tremolo system would.

  • There's a 1 year warranty on the unit through AllParts, and then a lifetime warranty through me.

    It should handle being transferred without any issues.

  • How much?

  • Check with an AllParts dealer. There are tons online.

  • half step down?

  • No problem.

  • can i use the tremolo for dive bombs or what if i use a hardtail mode???

  • Dive Only mode lets you dive the trem (drop the note pitch).

    Hardtail mode makes your trem act exactly like a fixed bridge guitar (trem does not move either way).

  • Unfortunately, this device DOES NOT lock the bridge completely. You're now warned. I still think it's great, because i can tune the low E-string all the way down to Cb. Maybe it can juuuust reach C, but it hasn't been necessary. Yet.

  • Hmmmm, it looks like hardtail mode DOES lock the bridge completely (1:38)

    What are you not understanding about it?

  • I understand it completely, i bought and installed the device MONTHS ago, and what i'm saying is a fact. However, it is not a real problem. I think it's a little bit too expensive, but whatever.

  • If your thumbscrews are slipping, that's because they're designed to. This prevents damage to the guitar or other trem components. Easier to re-tune than dig out a broken trem arm or repair stripped out claw screw holes.

    Try the (included) set screws instead.

    If those move on ya, stop driving over your guitar.

  • When in hardtail mode, is string changing easier? Like without adjusting spring tension etc.

  • I would hope so.

  • Yes. You change all the the strings at once, but I recommend you leave at least one string on there (a thick one).

    This keeps some counter-tension on the trem, and prevents your neck from becoming a long bow.

  • what a waste just buy an extra couple of springs and tighten the back.

  • It doesn't work that way.

  • Yeah it doesn't work like that with floating bridges

  • Try that.

    Let me know how it works out.

  • Can you tune drop C with this?

  • Yes, provided your neck is strong enough and your strings are thick enough to not be floppy-floppy when you drop tune that low.

  • what a great little add on

  • Thanks!

  • Can the Tremol-no work with an Ibanez EDGE 3?

  • yes itl work with any floating bridge

  • Yes.

  • I'm just trying to decide whether to buy Tremol-no, or get locking tuning keys. I have an Ibanez RG350DX but broke the locking nut, and rather than pay LOTS to fix it I thought locking tuning keys might be better. Any help or insight on this would be fantastic.
