Options for Trem and Leslie sounds
Looking for a good Trem that will do both normal Trem and harmonic Trem stuff like the flint, but that has tap tempo with subdivisions.
Also looking for a good Leslie simulator/maybe vibe/maybe vibrato
Does the mobius have TT with subdivide?
Any other options?
I like analog but I know a lot of the Leslie simulators are digital so analog isn't a must. Just good quality

Re: Options for Trem and Leslie sounds
I'm not up to date on tremolo pedals. I'm still using my Duncan shapeshifter.
as for leslie, I think many agree the minivent is a great sounding compact pedal. Then, there's the $400 real deal.
If you're not super picky, u COULD get something like the line6 m5. I know the m13 had several trem models including one based on the "goatkeeper" and it had a Leslie and a fender style rotary as well.

What is acoustic? Oh, you means a grandpa's guitars? A grandpa's guitars? That's for pussies and grandpas. I think you know it.

Re: Options for Trem and Leslie sounds
Tremolo is my favorite effect, but that combination of features isn't common in ONE tremolo.
EQD Night Wire - does regular and harmonic trem, but no tap tempo or subdivisions.
Chase Bliss Gravitas - tap tempo for sure, and TONS of options, but not sure about harmonic.
Seymour Duncan Shapeshifter - tap tempo, harmonic-like (w/ wave shapes?), no subdivisions. Stereo phasing option too.
EHX Super Pulsar - not sure about harmonic, but does have tap tempo and subdivions.
Cusack Tap-A-Whirl - not sure about anything besides tap tempo, but Cusack makes really cool stuff, and I've heard good things.
Diamond Trem - not sure about anything else here either, but does have tap tempo and subdivisions. Seems to be an old standard.
Empress - tap tempo for sure.
Here's what I think might do the trick for you:
Stone Deaf Tremotron - tap tempo, multiple wave-shapes (so maybe harmonic-like), tap subdivisions, programmable. Cool as fuck.
Walrus Audio Monument - tap tempo, subdivisions, standard and harmonic trem, expression jack, external tap tempo jack.
For vibes, the EQD The Depths sounds amazing, though not based on classic vibe circuit. For Gilmour stuff, the standard is the Dry Bell Vibe Machine. It sounds REALLY good, but I haven't played one personally. It's about as authentic of a Uni-Vibe circuit as you can buy from what I've heard.

Also, I had one of the m5s for a while. I liked it, but it's not what I'm after.

Re: Options for Trem and Leslie sounds
The Walrus Audio seems to be a good looking option. I saw a stone deaf at vintage king in Nashville but the guy said it was a very extreme sounding effect and I wasn't looking for a Trem at the time. Hindsight I should've experimented with it, because I usually don't buy effects to be subtle.Shadoweclipse13 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2017 4:03 amTremolo is my favorite effect, but that combination of features isn't common in ONE tremolo.

Re: Options for Trem and Leslie sounds
Not necessarily sure if vibe is what I'm wanting.
Here is a clip of a sound similar to what I'm after. Starts around 8:23 with the guy playing the telecaster

Re: Options for Trem and Leslie sounds
My recommendation was for the digital Leslie pedal.

Dry Bell Vibe Machine could TOTALLY do that sound (first clip, and 2:48)

Re: Options for Trem and Leslie sounds
I can tell you with absolute certainty that the guy playing the Tele is using an EHX Lester K.

Re: Options for Trem and Leslie sounds
Pigtronix makes an analog leslie sim called the rototron. I've not played it, but the demos sound good, and I think they were selling them really cheap earlier this year. I've yet to try a pigtronix pedal that wasn't fantastic.

Re: Options for Trem and Leslie sounds
I would choose EHX for both, Super Pulsar and Lester K.
I think when it comes to a pedal with tons of useful, interesting and unusual features with a great user interface and overall great sound, nothing beats the Super Pulsar (but I'm a bit of an EHX fanboy).
If you're more after classic amp style sounds you could look for the Diamond TRM-1 which has also a fully analog signal path:

For Rotary sounds I would consider the Nux Roctary as well. We have a few Nux pedals in our band and they are both cheap and well made with a more than decent sound:

Hughes & Kettner Tube Rotosphere has a cool sound. It's a heavy pedal though.

Re: Options for Trem and Leslie sounds
After months of ogling various vibe units and falling in and out of lust with various makes, I just purchased the Drybell. It seems like the V2, with all its tweakability, can cover a fair bit of ground. The discount they're currently offering was the clincher. Greatly looking forward to it.
Tremolo is next on my want list, and currently I'm digging the Keeley Dynatrem. Haven't played one yet, but the YouTube vids make it seem pretty impressive.
Cheers
