i didn't try any others. It sounds like the trem on my Princeton which is all I wanted.
Even better value used.
It has three variations of trem and I like them all. Worth a look perhaps, as the reverb is excellent too and replaced my RV-6.
My over arching feeling was £250 for a flint vs £20 I paid for the joyo which sounds good, if I spent £50 on a used holy grail nano I'd be £180 better off!
I don't buy into the strymon thing im afraid. They sound really good but I just think there's a bit of 'make a pretty box, mark the price up' with them, which guitarist seem to love! I had an El Capistan for a while and tbh the Belle Epoch i A/B'd it with actually sounded more like a tape echo. As far as the flint goes, the trems sound nice but the reverb isn't exactly like springs no matter what they say. Nothing ive played yet beats physical springs vibrating!
The best trem I've heard so far is off my Vibroverb. I found out that it's Bias tremolo and if you look in the back you can actually see the power tubes flickering back and forward in tandom. Almost as beautiful as the northern lights. Lol.
Im just looking for something pedal board friendly, as i like to adjust the pots between songs etc..

Great range of modes/shaping, easy to use, and sounds absolutely superb.
I also think these cut through a mix much better than other trem pedals which can get a bit lost in certain chains.
EDIT: Just read the above post, so...
Thirded!
That and its digital, if it matters to you.
I also had a trelicopter which was to my ears a bit bland - similarly had a Cmatmods tremoglo which was just too much of a perfect sine wave and so really pretty bland.
I really like the Zvex Sonar, vexter versions are not too expensive but it’s harder to dial in the wave-shape than on some other pedals - though that is also its advantage, you can get very creative with it. Plus you get an onboard Machine and SHO and tap tempo.
