Hi,
I just purchased a BOSS TR-2 Tremolo for my gear set-up and I
noticed that even when I am not playing (no notes struck) and the
pedal is on that there is background clicking/hiss like a "fft fft
fft" which is related to the speed. However, I am not striking any
notes. Even with the guitar detached and there is just a line out
from the pedal (power on) to the amp it is there. It is so loud
though. I have a Fender Champ 110 that I use. I am curious to know if
this is normal for this pedal or is it defecto. If it is normal I
would like any suggestions as to what trem pedal out there does a
real nice imitation of the large vintage and new Fender tube amps
(which are expensive) and won't cost a $1000. Thanks for the help.
Thank God that there is such a group. Jimmy Wilsey Lives! Cancer
Hi,
I have the Voodoo labs pedal. It sounded better to me than the
Boss...meaning it was quieter, had a wider range, and it didn't hiss. The
only thing I don't quite like about it is that as soon as you engage it, the
volume drops off quite a bit. Now I am sure some of this is because, well,
thats what a tremolo does (duh), but it seems kind of excessive. I have
gotten into the habit of turning up the volume on my guitar right before
engaging it to compensate.
I bought my amp (Hot Rod DeVille) before I got into surf music. Someday I'll
buy Fender amp with tremolo (I hope).
