This man comes from another universe. The class in his playing is crystalline. ❤️❤️

[@jarodreddig63]

Had to come back and comment on that Envelope mode. I just love it.

[@murfmurphy6212]

That harmonic trem sounded incredible in stereo - what a smart idea with the output jacks being configurable, and you don't have to sacrifice stereo operation if you want external expression or tap. This one is going on my list

[@martynkentfrancis]

Beautiful playing as always 🙏

[@forestgreenman]

I just ordered one of these! I have a couple of trem pedals but that ping-ponging stereo trem effect totally sold me. Sounds great as always, especially with headphones! OMG!!!! Great video again! Thanks!

[@PrestonSmithsMusic]

Always fantastic! Great sounds from that pedal. That stereo effect is something else!

[@MichaelZola]

This MXR is very impressive. Definitely getting your money’s worth owning one of these. Fantastic selection of tones. The pedal blew me away on this review. Thanks Pete for another great review.

[@JazzRockswithAdam]

Now THAT is one of the coolest pedals (especially for a Trem) that has been released for a long time. I don't even use Trem, but it makes me want to get this pedal anyway!

[@FusionBear66]

I bought one and the tap pedal because of this demo. Thank you! Works perfect for the gigs I have...

[@riccardofioretti9743]

Man.. your arpeggios and chords voicing always brings me back to Euphoria Mouning🖤 🤟🏻

[@richpesce]

I love seeing that Divided by 13 amp right behind his head. Love those amps!!

[@quiggycarboncat4280]

Thanks for the great demo, Pete. Your playing sends me and your demos are always spot on!

[@Beermaker2000]

Nice boutique-y features from MXR! Sounds fantastic too!

[@SirLoinMagroin]

Kudo's Pete. Hands down the best demonstration on the MXR M305 Tremolo pedal and I've watched a few. Was not even aware of some of the features. The stereo harm was incredible, yet all the variations seem very useable. Best new tremolo out there for the money imho. Seen lots of comparisons but this sold me. Thanks.

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks so much! Glad you liked the video

[@kylehowdy]

that intro track sounded incredible in stereo on a nice pair of headphones. HUGE sound, great demo as always!

[@erielakemusic]

man, beautiful chord work with that trem

[@JasonAyalaSpare]

I bought one after watching this demo. Thanks man!

[@bbbro34]

Nice. I recently got a Keeley Verb O Trem Eddie Heinzelman Reverb / Tremolo and love it. The reverb is simple, but I mostly bought it for the tremolo. They're simple, reverb is real simple, but lush, warm; spring and plate, but you have to open it up to switch that. Can go real surf guitar sound with it, country, blues, rock for sure, has a pitch shifting vibrato mode too, like a Magnatone amp has, as well as a harmonic trem setting, which I totally love as well...I find it cool to have it on but not so pronounced too, just like a soft pulse going on in any tone, overdriven (sounds great there), clean, which is why it's nice to control that level, like this one does. That's a good feature to have. Good tremolos just kick ass in so many directions. Love the good ones. That ones sounds sweet.

[@duaneanderson6393]

A very nice demo of the pedal. lovely playing

[@frownonline]

I've had one of the original Dunlop TS-1 units for years. Been waiting for MXR to release a smaller form factor to join my other MXR pedals. Looks like they nailed it again!

[@naivesteve5722]

Worth it just for the harmonic tremolo alone but you get much more. Also a really nice colour too'

[@Semitotal]

Didn't realize this had envelope! That's tremendous. Great demo, Pete!

[@olavjorvik94]

That guitar would look amazing with a white pickguard, and black plastic on the knobs and the single coils...!😍

[@DocECS69]

I'm sold. Just ordered one.

[@notgonnatellya1350]

Beautiful Pete, had me almost walkin' through the clouds, but I've been a circus mime before. Loved it, buddy. You constantly amaze and impress. ✌😊

[@cerclesvicieux]

I feel like I waited forever for this pedal. Great review. Could you do another video and perhapps go more in-depth about the tap tempo and the expressio pedal? Thank you.

[@Yupppi]

Been intrigued by the release demos by MXR. Seems like a killer pedal, finally a big brand mass manufactured versatile tremolo pedal with harmonic tremolo. And not an insane price either. MXR tends to kick asses with these. It resembles the mxr reverb on the outside, that quality, more expensive series of mxr pedals with solid feature arsenal. For the past couple of years they've released quite a few solid basic sounds with practical design decisions, either versatility in features or small size, bringing some wanted stuff on the market. Like the small Timmy was a brilliant market decision, bringing out the sought after boutique pedal in mass produced fashion and small enclosure with the original designer, for people who can't wait for him to build a boutique version of it for who knows how long. Been also catching up with missed Tone-Talks in the past years and it's so funny to see you pop up every now and then constantly behind David Friedman in the shop and sometimes say hi. And also guest the show of course. Good stuff man!

[@tmitz73]

Awesome Video Pete! Bunch O' Great Tones and Playing!! Can't go wrong w/ MXR imo. Stay groovy!

[@jarodreddig63]

Very cool Pete. I’m really diggin this!

[@-jk-2580]

Finally small MXR Tremolo!

[@tommc49]

If MXR would combine this with there similar size reverb, they would have a strong competitor for the Flint.

[@JazzRockswithAdam]

Good point! I hope MXR reads Pete's comments!

[@erniesfo]

That's an interesting idea. I think MXR's M300 Reverb designed by Jeorge Tripps is fantastic. It simply sounds great. My guess is that MXR will stay with the smaller enclosure for now. From what I see they don't opt for larger enclosures. An example would be MXR's separate Echoplex Delay + Echoplex Preamp + Tap Temp switch.

[@PageCrowes]

Beautiful playing and really good sound my friend. God Bless

[@brucecampbellx]

Great sounding pedal. The gain dial definitely seems helpful. As always, LOVE the demo track. Cheers, Pete!

[@sonicacoustics9176]

That is a cool gadget! Awesome! :)

[@TremorBear]

Mod madness from the Master

[@HarlanHarvey76]

Awesome track!!

[@MedalionDS9]

That intro would go great with Trip Hop

[@FlankinspanK]

Awesome video and this pedal looks next level!!

[@ScottyBrockway]

Instant classic.

[@erniesfo]

As always, great work Pete....

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks!

[@erniesfo]

@@PeteThorn First off, Happy New Year! Long-time fan. You turned me onto Meris with your reviews of the 500 Series 440 Mic Pre (wish they would make it a pedal!), then the Mercury7 Reverb. Would like to see a short vid on how you use Redwirz MixIR3 with Logic in the box. Take care, stay safe!

[@cs780]

Sounds awesome🎸

[@Neverlast2010]

Killer demo!!

[@alcoyot]

very nice, although, pedal is maybe too complex for me. I have gear complexity ptsd I think. One question do you own all those amps?? A really cool idea for a video would be to show each amp and why you have it.

[@druwk]

Thanks for the post! Cool pedal... My amp has no Reverb or Tremelo? I have an Ocean’s 11 reverb, and it has a Tremelo function which is pretty good? Not as on the fly, or adjustable. Hard to set a really present Tremelo with a subtle Reverb. Love the dynamic speed control on the MXR, and the options! Really cool features. Have thought about a Flint, the new Keeley Hydra, or this pedal to add to the Ocean’s. The “white collar” issue is, I don’t have any outlets left on my power supply. Already daisy chaining two effects. If I added this Tremelo, I would have to add more power? If I got a two-in-one, I can keep things as they are?

[@scottnewellguitar]

Love the choppy effect - RAD!!

[@kevroyo]

I so desperately wish I could buy the saddles from your trem man.

[@tiagoserodio1694]

Goddamit, just when I was about to pull the trigger on a Flint. Still, the reverb is very compelling, but that envelope sensitivity option is a dream… Off to look for a spring reverb pedal that has stereo in!

[@andrewsmall4865]

Get the MXR M300 used and you're probably into this and that for less than the Flint, with way more options.

[@Peetie_Wheatstraw]

Hey Pete, is this tremolo in stereo something you could add into a W/D/W rig with the Reverb and Delay, all into the Wet sides?

[@JazzRockswithAdam]

I'm sure you could. You just need a good splitter that has phase cancelation, and isolated so you don't get ground hum.

[@wakjob961]

I wish more pedals used TRS ins/outs for a single cable stereo solution.

[@thumperhunts6250]

What is the fretboard wood?

[@timothymallon]

7 tones...if you add the option of holding down the gain knob and then setting the minimum speed... then you can select any of the 6 trems and have fun

[@Roddo731]

Oh snap...well ahh I have to

[@secondamendment]

Groovy

[@Placeholder544]

The control switch on mine to chang from the tap, ctrl, audio is incredibly recessed in, makes it hard to really switch without the use of a small screw driver or toothpick. Cannot tell if this is intentional, or a defect? Not sure if anyone else has this experience

[@chucksmyth2598]

Does it auto-pan? It sounds like it.

[@Dunk0The0Punk]

Nice song Pete reminds me of Pink Floyd

[@DirtyMikeTM]

Actually 7 tones if you count the hidden envelope one

[@richmanfilms]

I clicked on your apple/itunes links to your music..... BUT, all of them say: Item Not Available The item you requested is not currently available in Apple Music in United States.

@@PeteThorn Yeah pete the cd-baby link is dead since march, I really want to buy your first album!

[@mykhedelic6471]

All this is missing is a ramp wave and I would've sold plasma...

[@michaelmattson3515]

Wonderful music as usual. I have noticed even you battle the plague of background hum, noise, & buzz. You have the the newest high tech studio with all the best gear & still can’t get rid of the gremlins. I don’t feel so upset now with my setup.I’ve learned how to deal with latency, have a few beers. You know what my favorite beer is? About my 7th.

[@oldnikix]

Single coil pickups buzz. Not having isolated power supply on all pedals in a chain causes weirdness. Also try a regulator instead of a power conditioner.

[@mikeyj3512]

Look at ME DAMMIT

[@PeteThorn]

Just look at you! LOOK AT YOUUUU

[@mikeyj3512]

@@PeteThorn cheers mate, love your vids 😂

[@heymrguitarman7637]

The tremolo game ended for me with the origin effects revivaltrem. This sounds decent but still nowhere near the revivaltrem. It is more versatile though so for those not too bothered about having the best trem and prefer flexibility then it seems to beat the Strymon flint trem sounds to my ears.

[@mediumtalented9250]

I have always loved their pedals, but the quality has taken a shit. I've had like 5 of their pedals in the last few years develop issues. I never had any problems up until a few years ago.

[@raxxtango]

WHEN I HEAR YOUR PLAYING - I HEAR LIFESON, GILMORE, STP'S DELEO, SATRIANI, HENDRIX LITTLE WING, LYNCH. YOUR GEAR DEMOS ARE ARE WELL FOCUSED AND ARTICULATE AND DEMONSTRATE THE PEDAL/GEAR AS WELL AS YOUR SKILLED PLAYING...AND YOUR DESCRIPTIONS & DIALOG IS PRESENTED IN A WAY ANY LEVEL OF PLAYER CAN BE INFORMED

[@PeteThorn]

Thank u!

[@andrewsmall4865]

I know MXR isn't a small builder by any means but I just feel like they don't get enough credit compared to some of the other, trendier builders these days. Pete, do you remember if this pedal was pretty quiet or if there was any added noise?

[@PeteThorn]

They are making really cool stuff!

[@davidmerlin3344]

Never been a fan of them pedals.

[@yomuthabyotch]

that first riff sounds a lot like a deftones riff.
