Searched Keeley Boss TR-2 Tremolo in Reviews

My favorite tremolo pedal!

Ease Of Use	This is a very easy pedal to use, and more importantly, an easy pedal to make sound great. An un-modded Boss TR-2 is a good tremolo pedal but there is an audible volume drop when you engage it. Keeley has added a volume control which makes the pedal much more usable and adjustable. The other controls are wave and rate, which are pretty self explanatory. You just need to spend a little time with it, mess with the knobs, and you are on your way to tremolo heaven!
Sound	My main guitar/ amp setup is a Gibson Les Paul with 490R/ 498T humbuckers and an Eric Johnson Strat with EJ pickups through an Egnater Mod 50 with the Bassman and SL2 modules. I play metal and jazz styles. I also compose film scores. This is a very nice tremolo pedal. It has an excellent transparent tremolo sound that doesn't mess with your tone. To me, keeping your tone intact is the most important aspect of a guitar effect, unless it isn't supposed to. You can go from a nice subtle buttery pulse to a choppy stutter. It is extremely versatile. I do not detect any noise or ill effects of the TR-2 being engaged. I guess the most common or stylistic use of a tremolo pedal is the country and western genres; this pedal would work great for those. Also, you can use this as a excellent clean boost if you just turn down the depth and crank the volume.
Reliability	As you guys know, Boss pedals are very reliable, and I am sure Keeley has made it more reliable by putting in superior components.
Customer Support	Well, I sent in my un-modded TR-2, Keeley modded it, and sent it back. The turn around time was only about a week or so and I had an excellent pedal back in my possession in about 10 days. Great customer service and well worth the modification price!
