The Gravitas is really, really awesome. Not cold IMO but what do I know.

You're probably right... but it's a lot of money to spend if I don't like it (like all the other CB pedals I tried).

Have you tried putting them on a hot plate? Or knitting them a tiny sweater?
gonna knit a sweater for mine and return with the results. (how can it be not warm tho, its got both a tone knob and a built in boost that overdrives)

But maybe (maybe?) easier to sell than the Twin Peaks??? You sure the TP is right for you? Seems maybe a store near you somewhere might have the Gravitas to try possibly?

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I haven't found that with the ones I've tried :idk: and I would have thought the tone knob on the Gravitas would do the trick there.

OBNE Whitecap?
J Rockett Josh Smith dual trem?
Zeppelin quaverato?
Coppersound Loma Prieta?

The gravitas rules though.

The Supro Trem seems to be the one that sound the best... but no wave shape setting. Gristleizer seems very interesting.

FWIW I really don't find the Gravitas cold sounding. Actually its a little gritty sometimes. And you can find them in the $200 range. But if its just not your thing then its not your thing.

Did anybody mention the Subdecay Tremcoder? That might have what you're looking for.

I actually really like my Mattoverse Tremstortion. It's got a bunch of waveforms and it's great having the extra dirt
