Is there a noticeable volume dropoff when engaged? I don't like that there's no volume knob on itThe Dano is king of bang for the buck. Sounds great. I don't play the case.
this ended my trem g.a.s.

I run it off the 18 volt jack of my dunlop DC brick and it sounds very deep, lush and hypnotic.
There's a trim pot inside to adjust output volume, but I haven't had to touch it. The volume seems pretty constant to me out of the box, at least on mine.Is there a noticeable volume dropoff when engaged? I don't like that there's no volume knob on it![]()
What are you calling a traditional trem? More of a sine wave? Just curious what the "tube" setting is on the empress.I loved my Sempahore but had a hard time getting what I thought was a trad. trem out of it. For that reason (and for the tap tempo), I've really been appreciating the tube setting on my new Empres Tap Trem. -E
This is what I use and it's very flexible and sound great.this ended my trem g.a.s.

That's probably a good way of describing it. Sempahore is triangle and square. I guess sine would be the third option, and the one I think of as more trad. I think Empress (which has triangle and square, too) calls it tube to suggest it's more like the trem on a tube amp (which, to me, is trad). -E
That's what I thought. I love the Semaphore I bought a week or so ago from a fellow member here at TGP. I run it at 18v also and it is a very nice triangle trem. It doesn't exactly sound like a sine trem, but very good none the less. I have an old tremodillo and a Swamp Thang for traditional sine trems. No pedal really sounds like the old amps did, but oh well. I do like the Semaphore better than any other triangle pedal I have tried, and it is the one I use on my board because it is less finicky to set quickly than the tremodillo/Swamp Thang pedals tend to be. And for a triangle, the Semaphore can get pretty "traditional" when set correctly. Close enough for live. And it is the right size and form factor as well as being true bypass.That's probably a good way of describing it. Sempahore is triangle and square.

Interesting. I get very lush " traditional " trem sounds out of the semaphore. Especially when run in 18 volts. With the shape knob i think you can really tailor the sound from subtle, hypnotic ( just melts into your overall sound ), swampy and " traditional " to a more modern chop..
Of course IMHO and YMMV and all that![]()
There is a slight volume drop with the Cool Cat Trem, but my understanding is that that's kind of the nature of the Trem beast.There's a trim pot inside to adjust output volume, but I haven't had to touch it. The volume seems pretty constant to me out of the box, at least on mine.
+ 1the mojo hand sugar baby is a terriffic tremolo.
I have to admit, I read about it, believed it, had it open quickly, thought I saw it but didn't need it (I've had no drop at all), and closed it back up. I'll double check. I may have it confused with another pedal.There is a slight volume drop with the Cool Cat Trem, but my understanding is that that's kind of the nature of the Trem beast.
To the poster above: are you sure about the internal volume pot? I've opened my cool cat up looking for one, and I didn't see anything that looked adjustable.
