Catalinbread Semaphore Tremolo

This is a fantastic pedal. I upgraded from the semaphore to the tap tempo semaphore. Catalinbread make fantastic pedals and this is probably one of the fantasticest!

The original pedal was the absolute business; best trem pedal I've ever used and I've been through a few. It can do everything you ever thought you might need with almost infinite tweekability.

The stereo semaphore adds to all you thought you wanted from a trem with tap tempo, stereo output capability and several additional trem shapes including random. Oh, yeah and it will work with 9-18V power. This is the only trem you will ever need.

A nice small flexible little unit, the Semaphore gives you a lot of tweekability for the buck. From fairly smooth to full on chop it proved to be fat without diminishing your harmonics and overall feel of your instrument. I especially liked the shape function that lets you skew the ramp of the triangle wave or put some blip into the square wave...nice. The bad side? I was jonesing for the smoothness that only a true sine wave can give you and the square wave revealed an audible click when you put the screws to the depth, so, if you need some hard tremolo or some textural chop in your rhythm floor this is a very servicable unit and not so good for more atmospherical effects.

We love it!! It was a present for my fiance, but we both have a great time trying out all the variations.Versatile, easy to use , ever changing , this pedal is unlike any other you've tried.
