Schaller are mostly known for hardware these days, but way back when, they used to do electronics too. This one was brought to our shores from Switzerland by a longtime Topshelf customer, and it's in remarkable condition for a pedal that's well over four decades old. Everything works: pots are quiet, the battery clip is working, the footswitch is intact... spick and spam. How does it sound? Gorgeous, honestly. It's a simple and effective tremolo that adds wobble and nuance without messing things up too much. It'd make a perfect little 'secret sauce' for studio applications, although it's robust enough for live use too. Hard to find, easy to love!
