The Tractor Beam by Poison Noises is a highly customizable tremolo.

The parameters that you can control with the Tractor Beam unlock some creative uses for tremolo.

Symmetry (ENCOUNTER): Moves the zero point of the amplitude modulation. Turned fully clockwise, it seems like this goes from unity gain to a boosted singal. In Amp Tickle, you can hear the amp breaking up periodically.
Depth (PROBE): Choose a subtle modulation or an intense pulsing
Shape (WARP): A continuous control over the shape of the modulation curve, from rectangular (chopped, abrupt volume change) to sine (smooth, more subtle)
Volume (INVADE): Makes it easy to adjust for perceived output volume. Interactive with the ENCOUNTER knob to control how it interacts with the rest of your gain staging
Ratio (ANNIHILATE): Go from long silences and short boosts to short breaks and long volume bumps.

This makes this a great make-your-own-tremolo pedal. Once you understand the knob layout, you can quickly create your signature tremolo sound.
