VT3 VINTAGE TREMOLO
Even though Guyatone made a
staggering 44 pedals in the micro
series, I’ve only decided to feature
a couple. Unfortunately, that’s the
limit! All the other pedals in the line
either have enough exposure or
simply aren’t readily available enough
in the states to garner any sort of
rating—good or bad. In a perfect
world, no Guyatone pedals would be
on this list, they’re all so good! The
VT3 Vintage Tremolo is no exception.
Amazingly, and in such a small space,
Guyatone has managed to come
up with a through-hole version of a
beautifully deep and warm blackface
tremolo sound. And if you’re into this
sort of thing, the Guyatone buffer is
the stuff of dreams. I’ve heard my
share of buffers but something about
the Guyatone just warms everything
it touches. Combine that with an
already warm sounding tremolo, and
magic happens. As a bonus, this thing
goes slow, much slower than almost
all trems on the market.
