I really dig the simplicity of the pedal produced by today’s featured builder, Like My Pedals. The stuff that they’re putting out to the world from Gainesville, Florida is nothing short of awesome, and with the simple but bold enclosures and no graphics or text, their pedals are very easily recognizable, and come with a hint of class, prestige and mystery. Today’s pedal is a newer model (I think we got one of the first ones to test), and it’s called the Richter Scale Tremolo.
With 4 control knobs and an on/off footswitch, the Richter Scale is not going to take you 10 years to figure out to make it work. It will, however, give off some lush, swirling tremolo sounds, as deep or as subtle as you need them to be, too. Speed controls how fast or slow the tremolo sound pulses, Depth allows you to control how present the effect is in your signal, from weak to strong, Waveform see-saws between sine wave to square, or basically smooth to choppy, and Gain gives you more volume when needed. These four controls allow for a multitude of sounds, from a slow, creeping tremolo roll to a fast-paced, wickedly-vibrating effect, with enough power and pulse to scare the hell out of your fans, if that’s something you want to do. The Richter Scale adds a smooth, sonic wash over your guitar’s clean tone, not too overbearing (unless you want it to be), and can be just present enough to add depth, range and sparkle to your tone.
Deep, rich, gorgeous and bold are just a few words to describe the sounds pouring out of the Richter Scale Tremolo pedal from Like My Pedals. If you’re looking for any easy-to-use trem with a bunch of great tones and a great price to boot, be sure to contact them through Facebook HERE for quotes. They do a ton of other pedal setups and custom pedals as well, so think of anything you want, and they can probably bust it out for you. Special thanks to Like MY Pedals for sending this awesome tremolo, can’t wait to review some more of your gear, and find out what’s coming next – cheers!
