Fantastic!

If you want everything from sleepy, dreamy, 1950s, to hard and heavy Psychobilly Cramps style tremolo, this is it. Perfect for "Sleepwalk" by Santo and Johnny, "Rumble" by Link Wray, and any of the Classic Surf Rock of the late 1950s-60s. And with a twist of a knob, or two, you can speed it up, and ramp it up for some extreme effect. In short, you can go from almost no tremolo read more up to too much, "which is nice because you have everything in between". Also the speed and wave shape are easily adjusted. The construction is high quality, and heavy duty, and when turned off you can't tell its inline between your guitar and amp. There is zero noise, and zero loss of sensitivity. Worth every penny.

I love this pedal

It did take some time to learn how to best utilize this pedal bu it was time well spent. Its drive tones (dialing up the input knob) are really something, and with a subtle trem setting (low depth), trails, to my ears, quite nicely. Full on swampy or choppy tones pretty easy to set with the depth and speed controls. I've recently gotten some very KR tones in open G that have read more been just awesome. Negatives for me would be having an additional switch the trem on/off so as to have the drive always on (for a song) and hit the trem when needed. Also, for my setuo, perhaps a bit bass heavy - hitting with a full of treble setting OD sorts that.

Catalinbread makes great stuff to be sure. But if you're just getting started with tremolo or are looking for a versatile tremolo, this isn't the pedal for you. You'll not be able to get any subtle trem sounds from it, even at it's lowest settings, the wave from will be choppy, which may work for your sound, but again, if it's versatility you're after, or if you've never had tremolo read more before, this can turn you off pretty quickly. Also, its preamp, the one that will give you that "valco style" break up, isn't very pleasing (at least to my ears) and adds a harmonic artifact to your signal that is metallic. Again, if you are after that kind of sound, this will be a great addition to your board, but if you're just not sure, try the Boss TR-2. You'll be much happier.
