"My own humble opinion is that the Ultrem is a device for a key instrument. This because of the fact it's in stereo; keys are amplified in stereo whereas guitar players don't often amplify in stereo. Most guitar players will find the tremolo of the Empress much nicer and more useful. Also because of the tube setting. By the way, the Empress is also excellent for keys. The Empress gives the lover of freakwork a nice deal with it's 8 wave patterns to choose from. We decide to keep jamming for the rest of the test session. After all, there are a few things as funky as a nice Fender Rhodes. With a tremolo of course."
