Features Unique to Diamond Tremolo
Shark Fin Wave
Sine Wave
Chop Wave
Half/Double speed
Chaotic Mode - Random speeds based around a certain tempo. Good for glitchy effects

Rhythm Mode - Features 2 Rhythms.
Has a much greater range of speed than the Empress trem

Features Unique to the Empress

Tube Mode (Would typically be a sine wave, but this sounds quite a bit more choppy, triangle is actually the smoothest wave form on the pedal)
