Re: whats the effect, kenneth? (OT)

The Fulltone does get that sound. I use a Dunlop Tremolo, it has a knob to
adjust from soft to hard wave shape. I had to tweak an internal trim pot
or
two to bunp the effects output a bit, though, as it had a slight dip in
signal. The Fulltone actually uses a 1 dB boost when engaged and it really
helps cut through.
When I saw Peter Buck a couple of years ago he was using the Diaz
Tremodillo
pedal, sometimes using a pretty hard chop. It's possible that is also what
he
used in that recording.
I found the used Dunlop for $70, so after making the tweak I was very
happy.
I think people dump them because they are to quiet when engaged. But some
careful tweaking will make it better than most others. Gets a full off-on
chop if you want. Also does stereo panning and will pass a stereo signal
through bypass or effect with or without pan. Versatile yet simple to use.
