I use Marshall Vibratrem for some 17 years and still happy with it. I’ve bought and sold some 5-6 tremolo pedals these years but I liked Marshall better every time, smooth, easily tuned nicely boosted plus vibrato option added. I also use Pipeline tremolo sometimes but keep it manly for name and look, plus tap tempo option)

Now I want to add harmonic tremolo, I had Flint for a couple of years and this is the only thing I miss from it. I guess I will buy SurfyBear but Supro tremolo also sounds so nice.

It's important/helpful to know what type of tremolo you want (eg. Opto, Bias, Harmonic, etc) then choose from there. Then decide if you want an "analog" style pedal (which is typically one type of trem) or one that is "digital/modeling" which typically have a few built in trems to choose from. There's also the mangnatone vibrato, but I find that less useful to me then a opto. I've used Boss TR2, Boss TR2 Keely mod, Voodoo Labs Trem, Demeter Tremolo, Mooer trelicopter, Flint, Bigfoot Magnavibe, Source Audio True Spring w/Tremolo, Bigtone Music Maggie, Surfybear SurfyVibe, a blackface amp with the built in tremolo ---- some of these a few times. After all those, I'm back on the Boss TR2 (the new one without the volume drop)

What year did they mod to have no volume drop? I have had mine for 2 years but it seems to have that.

For years I used a Boss TR2 - first with the C4 clip mod and then with the volume knob mod from a Monty Allums kit - its a really useful pedal, but now I use the Surfy Industries Surfy Trem - it just does every I want.

Thanks.

It could HP be as simple as an internal trimpot, if your pedal is that new.
