Is there a tremolo pedal that compares to fender vibrato
Hello, i've decided that i am in love with fender amp vibrato (tremolo).

I was able to play with a bandmaster this weekend in the studio and I decided that i must have that trem sound immediatly

Is there any trem pedal that comes close to actual fender trem?

I've been told the guyatone tube trem is the most amp like. but does it compare to the lush, smooth fender vibrato channel?

thanks,
Paul

I had the Demeter and the Swamp Thang. I still have the Swamp Thang and the Demeter is long gone. If the Fender sound is what you are looking for, the Swamp Thang is your ticket.

You mean the pitch vibrato like on Cream's "Deserted Cities of the Heart"?

Best, Pete.

no. pitch vibrato and the fender vibrato channel are two very different things. Fender "vibrato" is actually tremolo.

The Guyatone Tube Flip Tremelo is also pretty cool and inexpensive...

Bruce Bennett (Insane Gain, Brown Sound, Boost-e-a, Lowball, etc.) made a limited run of tremolo pedals that he engineered based on vintage Fender amps. Looks like he's got one on eBay right now:

E-mail him to chat about it...he's a really cool guy. Very down to earth.

+2 This mirrors my experience as well.

In addition, they both sounded better than the Fulltone Supa-trem IMHO.
