Mooer Trelicopter

Mooer · pedal

The Mooer Trelicopter is an optical tremolo pedal delivering classic, natural tremolo character reminiscent of vintage Fender amplifier tremolo. The pedal features selectable tremolo modes ranging from gentle sine wave oscillations to classic helicopter-style oscillations typical of vintage Vox amplifiers. The Bias control enables subtle tonal adjustments within the tremolo effect. The optical design ensures smooth, analog tone quality without apparent volume loss and employs true bypass switching to preserve tone when disengaged. The compact footprint accommodates space-limited pedalboards while maintaining professional tremolo tone quality.
