Caevan O’Shite Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 My new Suhr Jack Rabbit tremolo arrived today, and it is warm, transparent, vibey, subtle, yet authentic sounding. Green like the Diamond pedal that it is probably most inspired by, it wasn't originally my first choice as I didn't know about it given that it's pretty new. But I ultimately decided the Fulltone was a bit too coloured for my tastes, and felt the Suhr was likely an improvement on what Diamond offers. Niiiiiiiiiice... ! Do you place it in front of your amp's input, or in your amp's effects-loop? Do you have the option of feeding the Jack Rabbit Tremolo with reverb, from your amp or a pedal? How 'bout feeding echoes into it? (Reverb > Tremolo is THE CLASSIC sound, and I've come to LOVE Echo > Reverb > Tremolo, with the echo-repeats and tremolo-rate timed to pulse together on various beats, or rub against each other... !! ) Tell us more about the Jack Rabbit's Tap-Tempo and Strum-Tempo features, as well...

Mark Schmieder Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Well, last night I was only trying it on my brand-new Bassman LTD '59 reissue, which has no effects loop, so there you go. :-) I didn't try the tap-tempo or strum-tempo features yet. I printed the manual from the web but was too lazy to search for it in my stack. Mostly it was late at night and I couldn't disturb neighbours or housemates so it was just a quick test session. Good hints on feeding amp reverb to the tremolo pedal. I'm also thinking about experimenting with it in conjunction with delay, to get that "How Soon Is Now?" sound of Johnny Marr, even though that isn't how he achieved it.

Mark Schmieder Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Ordered the Xotic reissue of Robotalk, which arrived today. Too late at night to try it out, unfortunately. This is an envelope filter plus arpeggiator, but from what I can tell is a pure analog pedal (I saw nothing to the contrary). Demos are great. I know the original pedal isn't new, but I think this R.I. model is from 2015-2016.

Mark Schmieder Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Nope that's the old model. The new one has clean and tidy silk screening compared to that model of Robotalk. Just tried it with my Tele on the Bassmaster, and it is definitely the warmest, most transparent, and articulate envelope filter I have ever tried on guitar. A very different effect than wah or auto-wah, so not at all redundant. The arpeggio mode is a bit weird, but I didn't put much time into it yet as I am backlogged on a lot of things. Mostly it seems hard to control the feedback if you play any low notes, but I didn't play enough with the frequency dial to see whether it can essentially be dialed out so that the full guitar is usable in that mode. Overall though, I get the impression the arpeggio mode is just a variation on delay, or particularly tap tempo delay.

Mark Schmieder Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Yep. I much prefer the new look. The sound seems a bit better too... even if I shut my eyes to remove the visual bias. But as they say, they improved the filter tone.

But as they say, they improved the filter tone. I know what you mean about looks having a lot of appeal like that! Two pedals that I really want were recently done in a limited run with custom art that just killed in comparison to their previous incarnations, and now I really want them with THOSE paint-jobs. They've all been sold off, but fortunately, I might be able to score one or both as eleventh-hour blems. We'll see. As for that Xotic Robotalk, It sounds very good, very promising, in that video demo, and others; I can tell it's an excellent pedal. But personally, though, for an envelope filter type pedal, the Pigtronix EP2 Envelope Phaser is just the ticket for "my" sound, sounds that I want under my fingers and toes, so's to speak... I'm sure that you're satisfied and that the Robotalk is what YOU want for YOUR sound. Win-Win for both of us.

Talk about an offer you can't refuse . . . Sooo...did you get this yet? I don't recall hearing the end of the story. Lots of things got in the way, recently. Nothing too critical, here at home, but just getting life back on track, more or less. I'll check back with the maker this week, see what's up with the box. At one point, he had two slightly different models to A/B. Follow-up later . . . Quote "Monsters are real, and Ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win."
