bassplayer88 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Im looking to purchase a tremolo pedal with a momentary footswitch so i can just dab on a bit of trem when needed. In addition it needs to have a very clean signal path (eg not cutting off any bass, sucking tone when on or off, etc etc). Im aware the Guyatone Ultratrem fits the bill, but the bill doesn't fit in my wallet! Nearly £400 for a trem pedal! I dont need all its features. Hope someone can help.

cheddatom Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 It might be easier to make yourself a momentary bypass loop (very simple) and buying a cheap tremolo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there any plans anywhere for a momentary bypass loop? Would i just mod an existing pedal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 you need a momentary footswitch with 9 poles or something on it, and 4 jack sockets. I'm sure someone on here is kind enough to draw a diagram for you but it's almost just common sense. You can't break anything anyway. The bit that costs is the box to put it in, perhaps you have an old pedal you could use the box of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher1993 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I could make you a simple trem pedal if you wanted. So... every time you press the switch down, the signal drops. So it's kind of like a manual tremolo, pretty cool for some rhythmic effects. PM me if you're interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
