Who's gotta favorite?
I've been looking at the Cusack Tap-O-Whirl.
It's $275 on the site (expensive imho for a tremelo) but it does have some nice features like tap tempo etc ...

You might think this silly, but Dano Tuna Melt sits very proudly on my board - it's odd man out for sure, but it suits me just fine.
Bought two of them - not pleased with the plastic jacks, but I've yet to have a problem.

Other pedals on the board are a Dunlop Wah (no button - bought for physical reasons) into Divided by 13 Switch Hazel - The lift is worth the price of addmission, modded Boss CS, Kelly mod Boss Blues Driver, Peterson tuner, Dano Tuna, Ibenez Rotary and Ibenez Chorus (these are both the AD flying finger stuff) - a special thanks to TV for the Chorus - it still sports the cats eyes.

I like the look, size and price of the the new Lovepedal, but why change?

Good luck with your Quest - the chase is always fun .

Well due to the generosity of my wife I now own the Cusack Tap A Whirl.
I hadn't planned on spending the 275 but she did and gave it to me as a gift.
I've only tried it out for about 20 minutes but like it so far. Some of the subdivided wave forms are quite fun.
You can get a horse gallop style tremelo. Way more wave forms and features then I will ever use but they are fun to play with at home.
For a live setting I would probably use the sine wave most of the time and probably 3 or 4 other waveforms.
Great pedal but maybe a bit expensive if you don't need 24 different wave forms.
The tap tempo is a great touch though. Might be worth the extra cash just for that especially if you play to a click track live.
