Mooer Trelicopter Optical Tremolo Pedal – Used
Description
Quick Product Summary
The Mooer Trelicopter is a compact optical tremolo pedal designed to deliver everything from gentle vintage-style pulsation to deeper, more pronounced rhythmic modulation without taking up unnecessary pedalboard space.
This used example is in Good condition, showing visible signs of previous use consistent with a pre-owned effects pedal. With dedicated Speed, Depth and Bias controls, it offers more adjustment than its miniature enclosure might suggest.
What Makes the Mooer Trelicopter Special?
The Trelicopter uses an optical tremolo design to produce smooth, musical volume modulation reminiscent of classic tremolo-equipped amplifiers. Speed and Depth provide straightforward control over the rate and intensity of the effect.
Its distinctive Bias control alters the response of the optical tremolo circuit, changing the relationship between the on and off portions of the modulation cycle. This allows the feel of the tremolo to move from smoother, more relaxed pulses towards a tighter and more pronounced rhythmic response.
Who Is It For?
The Trelicopter is ideal for guitarists looking for classic tremolo sounds in an exceptionally compact format. It works particularly well for blues, surf, country, indie, Americana, ambient and vintage-inspired styles.
Its small footprint also makes it an excellent option for crowded pedalboards where space is at a premium.

FAQs
What type of tremolo is the Mooer Trelicopter?
The Trelicopter uses an optical tremolo design to produce classic rhythmic volume modulation.
What does the Speed control do?
Speed determines how quickly the tremolo cycles, allowing everything from slow pulsing movement to rapid modulation.
What does the Depth control do?
Depth adjusts the strength of the volume modulation, ranging from subtle movement to much more pronounced tremolo.
What does the Bias control do?
Bias changes the response and pulse character of the optical tremolo circuit, allowing the modulation to feel smoother or more tightly defined.
Is the Trelicopter suitable for vintage-style tremolo sounds?
Yes. Its optical design works particularly well for traditional amplifier-inspired tremolo sounds used in blues, surf, country and vintage rock.
Does it use true bypass?
Yes. The Mooer Trelicopter features true bypass switching.
Is it suitable for a small pedalboard?
Yes. Its compact Micro Series enclosure takes up considerably less space than a conventional full-size effects pedal.
Can it run from a battery?
No. The Trelicopter requires an external 9V DC power supply.
How much current does it draw?
The pedal draws approximately 5mA, making it very undemanding on a compatible pedalboard power supply.
Is a power supply included?
No. No power supply is included with this used pedal.
What condition is this example in?
This example is graded Good, with visible signs of previous use consistent with a pre-owned effects pedal.
