- Analog tremolo effect (digital tremolo effects are rare!).

- Sturdy and small metal housing (convenient if your pedalboard is already full).

-Two controls, input, output, Boss-type 9-volt DC PSU connector (negative center)

- Battery compartment (remove the rubber border to release the aluminum bottom... It seems bothersome but it isn't and it actually takes the same time as if you would change the battery of a Boss pedal...

- Effective logic bypass that doesn't alter the sound.

UTILIZATION

It's ultra easy.

Very effective controls. The effect ranges from a very slow tremolo to a machine gun!

SOUND QUALITY

I read a review in Guitar Part where they praised the device and said they were surprised by its quality... Me too!! Much better than a TR2! As its name implies, it really sounds like a Vox...

I recommend you to try it out before buying it because the effect does color the sound a bit, like a slight tube overdrive would and it boosts the signal 2 or 3 dB. So it's a matter of taste! I personally sold it again because I was fed up with its light distortion! Now I have a Tremulator that's perfect for me!

But I repeat it, it's all a matter of taste!

I heard that if you open it you'll find a trim control that allows you to do some additional settings but I didn't try it out.

OVERALL OPINION

It's a good effect pedal you have to try out before buying it. Excellent value for money!
