However, if you want a simple, classic sounding trem the tr-2 is excellent.
There are other tremolos because people want different things. If I didn't have the Helix I'd probably have a Nova Modulator again.
I just need a basic Tremolo to do some Duane Eddy stuff.
I also bought a Electro Harmonix Super Pulsar the other day, which does way, way more and is lots of fun - in the usual EHX way, there are some almost unusably extreme settings, and so dialling in a basic trem sound is harder, but there are some lovely, subtly different sounds in there. You can program your own patterns, it has tap tempo and selectable sub-divisions, and you can plug an expression pedal into it and choose which param to vary. That said - I wouldn't gig with it. It's needed rebooting several times while in use so far, and I've not had it long, and it doesn't feel particularly well put together. If I was gigging I'd be looking at the Empress Tremelo2.
Get the Boss and you won't have any issues like that obviously.
If you get one and don't like it then you can use the "what don't I like" info as a guide to choose something different.
Just scored a Boss TR-2 for £40 plus postage so I'm happy now.
Thanks for the comments.
