When the pedal is on it does sound good. Real clean sound to it. But when you turn the pedal off it makes a clicking noise. If you turn the speed knob down low it goes away. If it was true bypass it would be a great pedal.

Finally got THAT sound!

After trying many many tremolo pedals, including one's that cost very much more than the Pulsar, I am very happy to report that I finally managed to get THAT sound: the one that's just like my old and dearly departed '60's tube monster amp. I have no reservations in unconditionally recommending this tremolo. The only possible drawback is that you'll find so many great sounds, and have so much fun, that you'll do nothing but experiment with it for hours on end - as I did.

I have been extrememly pleased with my pedal. I would definently recommend buying an AC adapter so you can leave it plugged in. This tremolo pedal sounds better than any pedal that I've come across so far. Easy to adjust it to how you want it to sound like and reliable.

This peddle totally changed the sound of my rhodes stage piano making it into a vintage suitcase model sound. All my band members were commenting on how great the pulsar made my parts sound. It's very simple to use and has different types of tremolo cuts which could be use by the flick of a switch and turn of a knob. It's worth it buy it!

This is a really excellent modulation pedal. The only problem I've ever had is that it may well be too deep a pedal, it can give you anything from a deep vintage sounding growl to a slow wave. It can even make your guitar or bass sound like a B3 organ!
