Do any of you have recommendations for a good tremolo pedal?
I've been yearning for one for some time but I'm now going to get off my butt and get one. I was planning on getting a used Boss TR-2, but then I came across the Electro Harmonix Wiggler and made me think otherwise.

It's got a vintage vibe is just amazing and the tones it can produce are just seductive! This pedal is tube driven and commands a steep $189 price tag. That's almost $100 more than I can currently afford. If I have to bite the bullet to get one I will, but before I do I want to check with all of you to see if there are more affordable pedals with a similar tone that I may be overlooking.
Here's a demo (http://img3.musiciansfriend.com/dbase/media/product/video/153320.wmv) of the Wiggler and some sound clips (http://www.stevesmusiccenter.com/EHWiggler.html) to hear it for yourselves. I'm warning you... if you listen to these sound clips I swear you'll fall under its spell. Could I be suffering from PAS? (does that even exist?) ;)
