Who loves the Empress Tremolo?

I do, I do I do.

Put it in Tube mode and just strum along. Awesome throb, almost sounds like a rotating speaker. Mr. Bragg did an excellent job with this one. Never thought I'd have this much fun with a Tremolo!

I too am in total love with the tube setting on my Empress tremolo. It's just beautiful with a clean or barely breaking up tone.

Can't wait for mine. Ordered mine on the last day of presale prices. Love all the clips especially "rhythm in 5". Nice and warm sounding.

Jeez, that's not a good sign at all - Could we have another booteek pedal company w/a shorter lifespan than WayHuge?

Bummer.. every single one of my amps (OK - not the bass amp!) has trem, but I was gonna get one of these anyway, in support of the Kanuk brotherhood of pedal-makers.. I've been into Diamond lately- absolutely world-class stuff..

Did you order yours direct? I'd be worried

Man, I hope that's not the case... I can't see why he would be having trouble, apparently these have been doing well.

I got #23 near the end of May. :AOK

Yep... but now the its gone up to CAN$250, Still a good price. Or you could get the Cusack. Great pedal too, I'm gonna A/B both of them tomorrow in a live band mix and throughout the weekend.

BTW, I think I've still got his email so whoever who wants to get one can PM me and hopefully can get through to him.

Or maybe he's just getting way too many orders that he's just taking a short break.

Website?

I don't know what's going on with the website. I talked to Steve, via email just the other day - must have been right before it went down.
I ordered a trem a couple weeks ago and got mine last week.
Absolutely love it, great sound and features. This trem rocks!!

Apologies for spreading this across two threads, but does anyone have any thoughts on how this compares to the Cusack Tap-A-Whirl?

Cheers!
