The only downside to the Ironman pedals is that they can’t run off a 9v battery. Only a power supply. Another thing I realized is that they’re a bit on the higher side in terms of price when compared to the 10 and 30 series. However, they definitely still fall into the budget category of pedals. For the pedals that are smaller versions of clones from other series, I haven’t written much of a review as they’ve been covered above in the 10 series and 30 series. I was therefore delighted to find that the Monument V2 Harmonic Tap Tremolo pedal produces a wide spectrum of tremolo tones. Due to the versatility of the pedal, I found that you can create classic, smooth dynamic wobbles or go to the other extreme and opt for resonant shimmers with harmonic overtones. In my opinion, whichever way you use the pedal, you’ll be impressed by the quality of the effect produced.

After trying out the Ernie Ball Expression Tremolo Guitar Pedal, I found it to be an incredibly versatile and well-built piece of gear.

Here Are the Best Guitar Tremolo Guitar Pedals

I’ve never used a noise gate and never really investigated them to be completely honest. I am not very well equipped to talk about these pedals. However, I can confirm that this is not a direct clone of any other Noise Gate out there. But as far as functionality goes, it looks very reminiscent of the Decimator noise gate pedal. I know the Decimator is an exceptionally popular Noise Gate. So I would not be at all surprised if this Joyo noise gate was at the very least inspired by the Decimator Noise gate. The Wampler Latitude tremolo makes for a great modulation pedal, capable of producing consistent classic tremolo tones as well as modern stutters and chops. Choose between 3 sound wave settings; sine waves, peak waves, and square waves and tweak fraction by fraction for a multitude of desirable effects. Who This is Best Suited for: Due to the multi-faceted makeup of the Source Audio Vertigo pedal, it’s well suited to every type of guitarist. You’ll be especially fond of this pedal if you strive to recreate the authentic-sounding tube-amp tremolo that has blessed so many of the best guitar recordings in the 60s and 70s.

Bottom Line: A unique pedal amongst mostly stompbox-style tremolo pedals, this Ernie Ball offering ensures that you can focus on your playing rather than adjusting the setting by hand. With five rich, warm-sounding modes, and an added reverb channel, it performs to a very high standard indeed. Modulation based effects such as phasers, flangers, and chorus also merge well with tremolo. As modulation adds movement to the signal, the tremolo can interact and create smooth blends of psychedelic overtones.

While the sound quality of the pedal is generally appreciated, some customers have reported issues with the tremolo cutting out or not working properly.
