I could do with picking up a cheap tremolo pedal, to use when I'm not using my amp that has tremolo. I tried a Donner "Golden Tremolo" (which looks very similar to the Mooer/Eno/Rowin Trelicopter), but it has a problem with the LFO causing a clicking noise both when engaged and when bypassed. So that one will be going back.
What else is worth looking at? I've seen the Joyo which might be OK, or I used to have a Marshall Vibratrem that I liked. I don't need any particularly extreme tremolo effects, and it would be nice if it wasn't huge.

No frills but sounds great.
Worth keeping an eye out for Boo or Fredric trems, not cheap new but they don't tend to keep their value so can be a used bargain and people seem to like them and a cut above the Mooer/ Donner type brands.
Another vote for the boss TR-2. They can be had used for under £40. Personally I wouldn't bother with a modded one, I've had the standard one for a few years and have no gripes with it. Boss changed the circuit themselves in around 2006 (I think) and added a slight boost so if you go down that route I'd try and get a post-2006 if you can. The updated circuits have "PB Free" printed on the circuit board I believe which is a way to identify which one you have.
That's good to hear. It's the current fad for true bypass that means a lot of newer pedals don't have buffers, you wouldn't get the ticking with a Boss, but if the order isn't important just hang on to it, you'd get the same issue with a lot of others too

If you want something crazier and more square wave, it might not do it (although it does get fairly choppy). But as an all around trem I don't know that I'd want anything else.
I used to hanker for the Duncan one though.
