Tremolo by Voodoo Lab

July 27, 2009

The Tremolo pedal by Voodoo Lab is a solid pedal, it does its job, I’ve seen fancier, but this one is great. Tremolo can create some cool jittery sounds and wavy sounds, it’s not a pedal that I use all that often, but that just depends on what genre I’m playing.
