Hi guys! I'm looking for opinions and thoughts about the Copilot Fx Polypus tremolo pedal, or for recommendations about a tremolo pedal that can meet a number of desiderata I've got.
I'll give some background on my situation. The current tremolo pedal on my board is the EHX Super Pulsar. It does what I need it to and it sounds good, but I am looking for something to replace it for two reasons. Firstly, the Super Pulsar is a huge pedal and takes up a lot of space on the pedalboards; secondly, it has a lot of knobs and settings, several of which I don't use. It often leaves me tweaking endlessly in a way which I find slightly frustrating and uninspiring.
So here's what I NEED to have in a replacement pedal:
(1) The classical square and sine wave options. (This requirement is satisfied by most contenders.)
(2) A volume knob or setting to counteract the perceived loss of volume.
(3) A waveform option that emulates the Vox Repeat Percussion effect (see my username). I've never been quite sure what kind of wave this effect is, I THINK it might be a triangle wave, but I'm not sure..
(4) The pedal NEEDS to be at least somewhat smaller in form factor than the Super Pulsar, otherwise I guess I could just keep that one.
Here are some things that I would LIKE to have in a replacement, but which are negotiable:
(5) Tap tempo functionality.
(6) Expression pedal input.
(7) Stereo out functionality.
The Polypus ticks all of the above, except for 7 (as far as I can tell). Plus it looks rad, which is always a plus.
Are there any other good contenders? I'm thinking maybe the Seymour Duncan Shapeshifter, which I think satisfies all of (1)-(7), but which is bulkier than the Polypus (though still somewhat smaller than the Super Pulsar), and don't have the weird randomized waveforms that the Polypus does.
If anyone has any relevant experiences of the Polypus that they could share, or have any suggestions for a different tremolo that might fit my desiderata, I'm all ears!
Made a new post since I found a few more that fit the bill. Basically I'm looking for a reaaaaalllly controllable tremolo.
I'd like to work out a trade+cash for one, but I may just buy if the price is right.
If you have one, lemme know and we'll go from there.
Cheers
I'm looking for a tremolo pedal, and I'd prefer it to have tap tempo. Most of the tremolos that have tap tempo are $250+, which is more than I'm willing to spend. The polypus is only $150, but I can't find many videos or reviews of it online. Does anyone here have any info on it? Other pedal recommendations are welcome too!
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
They’re on standbi
Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
When I got home, they were still there.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
Where ever you left it 🤷♀️🤭
You take away their little brooms
There hasn't been a post all year!
It was about a weak back.
