Marshall VT-1 Vibrato - Tremolo ?????????

[studio1087]

Does anyone own one of these or have you tried one?? Input please!

I have a HRDx. Love it. I miss tremolo for jazz & blues stuff. I bought one of the mini Dano tremolo pedals for $20 at a local store (the yellow one). It's actually a very nice pedal but I can't live with plastic casing on my pedal board.

I tried the Boss Pedal. It seemed to deaden my tone. The Marshall has true bypass. I have a Marshall ED-1 compressor on my board now and I'm very happy with it. I cannot find a VT-1 locally. Tremolo doesn't seem to be a popular pedal around here. All I can find are the Boss and Dano pedals.

I can order the Marshall VT-1 on line for $70.00. I wish that I could get a few reports on the pedal.

Input??? Thank You!

Harmony central has mixed reviews on this pedal. Have you checked out the voodooLabs trem? I think it sounds pretty cool.

I wasn't really pleased with my Ed-1 (Compressor) from Marshall. I tried the VT-1 and wasn't blown away enough to buy one. I have a Dunlop Univibe that I like better.

I found an on line seller blowing them out for $55.00 new in box. I ordered one. We'll see. I don't place much value in Harmony-Central but there are many good reviews there. We'll see. The Boss was a tone sucker and the plastic Dano is built too light for me.

Ya, HC can be a blessing and a curse. I usually focus on the "bad" reviews that people leave. Those reviews give you something to think about when trying out gear. Let us know what you think when the pedal arrives!

H-C reviews can be very useful, if you set your threshhold for both positive and negative bullshit very high.
