Got mine and after fiddling with it I made this demo! Judge for yourself!
Aroma Mod Station is a cheap China pedal, with several modulations like Tremolo, Uni-Vibe, Vibrato, Phaser etc ... I chose to demo only the ones I prefer not all of them. Amplifier is a dirt cheap Harley Benton CG-15, dirt cheap Harley Benton ST-20 strat, neck pickup used on all is a cheap China goldfoil pickup used on acoustic guitars (works great on Strats too), dirt cheap Chord 07 microphone, dirt cheap Behringer U-Phoria UM2 interface, dirt cheap Reaper DAW.

As some of you know I was after a Fuzz/Dist pedal and this Modulation pedal was just an extra buy thinking that I need so many modulations and yet money is in short supply, I decided to go for this one only because of the 5 star reviews. Seems this is a Mooer copy which also has good reviews. I did not expect much from a multi Modulation unit. It could not be that good but if I can make it sound on at least one preset Im happy bunny. This pedal has surpassed my expectations big time! ! ! Did I say BIG TIME?! Yes The built quality is fantastic and the look is great, satin kind of green looks awesome. The knobs are firm and the foot switch is not as loud as on my other NUX pedals. There is some noise but not of the annoying sort and I am very much sensitive when it comes to annoying noises. The presets/options/Modulations; Lets say there are the modulations to the left and modulations to the right. I dont think I will use the ones on the left. These are the Chorus, Flanger fx. The Jet is utterly useless, the Flangers also and the Choruses are so so ... but not great or maybe I have to find the sweet spot for them. Where this pedal excels is the right side of the rotary big knob: Vibe, Uni-vibe, Phaser, Opto Trem, Bias Trem and ... nah the last one is also useless because it introduces too much annoying noise, the A.filter. My very favorite is the Opto Tremolo. When I dialed that one and played it on the Goldfoil neck pickup into my HB CG-15 first thought hat came to mind was Supro Tremolo-Drive pedal that I heard on a you tube demo some time ago. Very rich, organic, melodic , ... very pleasing Tremolo. Let me say this; in one old thread on this forum I mentioned that Trem and Vibro fx are the ones I like least and find them irritating. They could easily make me feel nauseous and dizzy, but those fx were from Multi FX units, not that great. This Aroma Mod Station has nailed that Tremolo to the bones I LOVE IT ! I hope the Tom'sline G-Fuzz will also be of this kind of sound quality (it should arrive soon) ... in case these 2 pedals (and the Rowin Big Muff copy) deliver I am big time only buying these micro pedals from now on. Oh and the packaging is very nice with protection and both the velcro and the "carpet" part are there which is just great I find.

Due to musical differences I've decided I can't work with myself any more.

When you say Tremol copter you mean the Bias Tremolo right? That's the one. It was the best part of the noisy Behringer Tremolo Panner that I sent back. I can see there's going to be lots of experimentation with this one. That Jet does seem to introduce a lot of noise but might be ok for a quick mid song effect - definitely not all the way through. And I'm struggling to imagine where the vibrato effect will work. It seems to be a tone up bend but I'm not sure I can use that regularly and my fingers will do that nicer anyway. I'm sure I'll find a away to incorporate it but it will need a lot of trial and error (mostly error). I Believe Robert Cray used a Fender amp with a vibrato unit on his last album (a Vibrolux?) so I might have a listen to that. What is it about Leo Fender? If he knew what vibrato was and could put it on an amp, how did he misname his whammy bar? Perhaps he thought everything was vibrato...even hair curlers, "You're looking lovely tonight darling. Have you put some vibrato in your hair?"

yes that foot bar sure hides those two! Not the finest effects anyway so you didnt miss much in my opinion. I find that the left side FX should not be cranked much otherwise they go into weirdness territory. The right side of the nob from Vibe to B. Trem things can be cranked nd get some interesting stuff. Most certainly a great Tremolo pedal. What say you about the Opto Trem? (my favorite)
