I’ve owned the Boss TR-2 for the past 22 years and have had great success with it. However being a big fan of TC I may need to checkout the Pipeline seems to have some additional mojo ! Great demo 👍🏻
I just received the Nano Pulsar(it has a volume control). It landed on my doorstep during rehearsal so I hastily threw it on my board. It sounds fantastic on my stereo rig. I've decided to go all old school EHX for modulation.
How is the Nano pulsar with overdrive & fuzz? I've been looking for a decent priced trem for awhile, but just from demo vids cuz i can't try any out, & I keep coming back to the Nano. It seems to sound warmer & more pulsating-like (hence the name I guess).
Great video! I agree with many that the TC Electronic and the Boss were the clear winners. I also thought most of them sounded pretty good, with the exception of the Carl Martin. I've never used that company's products, but I was surprised by the low quality of that pedal's sounds.
I have listened to most of them in person. My favourite remains the EHX Pulsar by far for a variety of reasons. Followed by the Boss and Pipeline for sure, and maybe the Harley Benton and Trelicopter. The Ibanez sounds great in the video, never tried one myself. The EHX is the one closer to a real amp's tremolo in my opinion. Followed close by the Boss and TC.
When you consider what these go for on the used market, it makes more sense. Honestly though, we aren't all teenagers saving allowance money for pedals, so yeah, these are budget pedals.
Considering the fact that boutique pedals go for $199 and above, I think it's alright to call these pedals cheap. Perhaps affordable would be a better term.
Interesting I was told that Harley Benton was buying Joyo pedals and using the HB logo instead of Joyo’s logo for the European market ? Is that what you are referring to
@@Mr.Steve-O Harley Benton is only rebranded Joyo for Thomann. Joyo pedals are available with many different names. For example Razzor pedals in my country (Czechia).
I preferred the boss and pulsar. I have the trelicopter. It's fine but there are definitely volume inconsistencies as you change the parameters. Be interested to know if this is a general problem for all. Looks like the pipeline was the only one with a volume control.
Grant....the Ibanez has a volume control and it's accessible via a small phillips screwdriver on the left side of the casing. I have 2 and the volume adjustment works well.
I own the Pulsar and I stumbled on this video cause I was looking for another pedal option. What I don't like about this pedal you can clearly hear in the last comparison at 08:27. Every other pedal has a nice breakup (full depth) but this is the only pedal that lacks it. My favorite tremolo is on my Vox AC30, it's simple and is really easy to dial in and I wanted to find something similar. Was considering the Boss but I'm realizing how different all these tremolos are, thanks for the video!
"DEPTH Knob - Adjusts the amount of Tremolo that will be applied to your signal. As the DEPTH knob is turned from the Counter-Clockwise (minimum) position to the Clockwise (maximum) position, the amount of the effect will increase. Maximum tremolo occurs when the DEPTH knob is set to approximately 2 o’clock. As the DEPTH knob is turned above 2 o’clock, the tremolo begins to warp by modulating between positive and negative phase with a rhythmic pattern."
@@mymadeupdreams A lot of people assumed the max out on those pulsars was what most other effects are, but it is not.After 2 it becomes something else giving you the sound you hear in this video.
@@natemendsen1629 do you own the pedal or just making assumptions because that's absolutely not the case. I have the Pulsar, and I know the depth isnt' full, and this video just ended up confirming it.
@@mymadeupdreams Watch this whole thing .Andy knows as much as anyone about pedals.That shit about maxing out at 2:00 isnt just him but was in the ehx verbiage .Apparently some people did have a problem with a volume drop with it vs other trems but that I am much less certain of. All I am saying is if you were not aware that it was designed this way and that getting it to the max depth setting is that far off of where the physical knobs max setting is, you might not have ever tried to find the sweet spot because you did not know to look for it. th-cam.com/video/sVAd1T26fMY/w-d-xo.html
They all sound EXACTLY the same to me in pretty much every test. the last one was the only one I could tell a difference but that's because the settings were changed
The Behringer tremolo is an exact Boss clone, according to some people it is the exact same because Behringer makes the internals of some BOSS, MXR and Ibanez pedals and than makes EXACT clones. And the Behringer is $29 on Reverb new. Look up comparison videos, especially JHS pedals blind comparison of both, it's EXACTLY the same See the article "THE ULTIMATE BEHRINGER GUITAR PEDAL CLONE LIST [2023 UPDATED]"
In the last round, tr2 had the nicest sound. Not only the lows pulsating but a sixties vibe with highs pulsating too. Then Ibanez. Carl martin didn't seem that bad . For the other rounds I heard less difference. But indeed a behringer would have been nice to compare to also.
Still BOSS, sound and durability, it screams Southern Rock. I was not too happy with the T.C. Electronic customer service....but I'd go for the Pulsar made in USA, buy USA.
cmon ... wheres the UT300 Behringer .. thats the one to beat at the prices and quality - basically same circuit as TR2 .... so cant compare apples and dragonfruits

Boss nailed it with the TR-2 🤙 such a versatile tremolo pedal.
Thanks for this. Liked all of them except for the Trelicopter. Pipeline seemed most intense

I think its amusing when people describe a 110 bucks pedal as "cheap". Behringer UT300 at 20 is what a "cheap" pedal is.
damn good pedal ...
True.. Soon as i read cheap i said... Yeah.. Some people make money their butt probably. What if the boss was made in japan... 😂
Anyway pipeline wins

My Behringer didn't break
it melted.

Thx for sharing this bro...we owe u a lot of time and effort
I thought the TC Pipeline was the clear standout here. Boss was 2nd for me followed up the EHX
Hi! 2 years after here i come... I just want to know which pedal you used on the intro and the settings please. If it's not too late... Thx!
The Harley Benton is sold under the Joyo brand in North America. Pretty good value usually.

@@Mr.Steve-O Yep, exactly that

Best tremolo shoot out on YT
Many years ago I owns the Boss Tremelo and hearing this i'm still in favour of this pedal because It sounds More transparent to me
Привет!Как не странно,но понравилась Харли Бентон и Ибанез.Не дорогие и что главное не бубнят,мягко работают,по ушам не бьют.(Слушал в наушниках)Ок!!
Pipeline the best

Boss, Pipeline, Mooer, Ibanez. Maybe.
It's crazy how different they all sound.
So different they emphasize different nuances of the source sound.

@@whatabouttheearth I figured it was something like that. Not many things are original anymore
Is it just me or does the Electro Harmonix Pulsar seem to maintain a crisp high end? It sounds good
It does preserve all the presence of the sound.
Boss & Pipeline
Thanks!!! Appreciate the vid
Way good demo ! cool intro too
Why isnt the danelectro?
Well they actually sound the same
Not at all!
boss tr-2 has the infamous volume drop. have bought and sold it twice. there is always a point in time where becomes prohibitively frustrating.
The new ones have a trim pot on the circuit board
In the last round, tr2 had the nicest sound. Not only the lows pulsating but a sixties vibe with highs pulsating too. Then Ibanez. Carl martin didn't seem that bad . For the other rounds I heard less difference. But indeed a behringer would have been nice to compare to also.
I have the Boss. You lose high end when you switch it on. No volume knob.
coolest looking = pulsar
Very often I am overwhelmed by the amount of Lawful statements from german's be It on eBay kleinanzeigen or be It over here...
Must you do this?
Is it me or did the joyo one have some serious clipping issues? The pipeline sounded best to me.
Most of those pedals sound great. I have owned the Mooer Trelicopter and I'm here to say it doesn't.
Boss TR2
To my ears the pipeline and the boss are in their own category...the others are far from transparent and the tone they add....well...it isn't good.
sorry about your ears...
Still BOSS, sound and durability, it screams Southern Rock. I was not too happy with the T.C. Electronic customer service....but I'd go for the Pulsar made in USA, buy USA.
cmon ... wheres the UT300 Behringer .. thats the one to beat at the prices and quality - basically same circuit as TR2 .... so cant compare apples and dragonfruits
Ibanez sounds the best
Why are these so cheap?
because why not xD
They are not "cheap".
They are not. Maybe joyo but i wouldn't say the boss and the pipeline cheap. Neither some others on video
Why are others so overly priced ?
that is the question
