Joe Bonamassa uses the Guyatone... Good enough for me!!!

@sngncwby Does he? I've not heard or remembered hearing his trem tone. Cool!

@Passenger95 I dont get the "tone Sucker " thing. I use the Guyatone and if anything it adds dimension to my sound. Some times I just leave it on with intensity turned all the way off and it sound beautiful.

[Passenger95]

@scottylurch Cool! To each his own. One man's 'tone suck' is another man's 'tonal secret.' Glad it's working out for ya!

Yeah my Dad had literaly just bought the car and when he turned on the radio it was at the part where Tommy James is singing near the end of the song witht the tremolo my Dad said apparently "Jesus Christ I just spent $3,500 on this goddamn car and this radio is a piece of shit.

I've heard a couple songs as well that made me think my radio was breaking. And then some songs that made me wish me radio was breaking. hehehe

why guyatone would make a tube driven pedal without a true-bypass and then expect us to pay 200+ for it is beyond me

[Passenger95]

haha Really? That's like, the best thing I've ever heard! :-)

I like the guyatone one gives that nice Crimson and Clover sound. When that song first came out my Dad thought something was wrong with his radio and was slamming it with his hand only to find out later that was part of the song.

Unfortunately, no. Sorry. The one I ended up keeping was the Dr. Scientist Tremolessence, that's in a subsequent demo video. I might end up selling it in the near future, though, to try to help fund an amp purchase. If I do, I'll let you know!
