My problem with the gk3 is that I wish the actual tremolo itself was better. The lack of a volume pot is criminal and the depth curve bothered me a bit. More nitpicky is my wish for it to have a tap multiplier, so it can be sequence at half or whole notes more easily. Then I guess I would make it 8 steps, but then at that point it would have so many knobs it would be unwieldy (Pfft, as if.)
I would still love one to put in the loop of my superego.

Dude. The GK has a volume knob on the back of the unit. hahahahahahahahaha LOFL!!!
Now I will say if you're using the GK for a straight trem, there are WAY better options. If you're using it for noise making and random craziness, it's hard to beat. It takes some diving in for sure, but it's a fucking amazing pedal if you take the time to learn it. I love that thing. I've owned one what like 5 times now? Currently own one and don't plan on getting rid of it anytime soon.

I had to have that volume knob maxed at all times and I still felt it was too quiet. And if I ever went for weird noises, it always ended up sounding the same on the majority of the modes. I just didn't find it that impressive of an effect for the price people want it for.
Hahah, watching that video does not make me want one of these at all. Good for my finances I guess .
I do respect Peter Blasser, he makes his own stuff and that's always good (he's also a nice guy in person) but most of his designs don't do it for me, though I can see the appeal.
