It's this one: http://www.musikding.de/product_info.ph ... o-kit.html

Like it says on the schematic, it's the gain setting resistor for that final op-amp stage.

Are those Musikding kits anygood? They look like good value if all the bits are included.

Also is it choppy enough?
DO AN DEMO

Thanks!

@ rps-10
They're great, actually. I've built their Factory Fuzz clone, Green Muff clone, and Optical Tremolo (which is a Tremulus Lune). I've also built a feedback loop and a bypass loop with parts from them. The documentation in their kits is pretty easy to understand, as long as you assemble and solder everything methodically and have some patience. They also have great customer service and probably some of the lowest prices on pedal parts in Europe. I recommend them wholeheartedly.

And yeah, I will do a demo. Though, robably with an iPhone, so don't expect CRISPY soundz...

Cool, will probably get the kit next month, its great fun making tour own pedals.

Not too worried about crispy sound quality, just more interested in squarewaveness and speeds

I see.
It can be very square or very sine. It can also be something in between. I more or less like everything with it. Will try to do a demo tomorrow.

It's actually a Square Wave or a Triangle Wave.

You can't make a Sine Wave Tremolo like that.

I have a Way Huge Red Llama clone that I bought off ebay already made from a Musikding kit for not much more than the price of the kit, it sounds really good.

Ah, okay. Always confuse sine wave with triangle wave.

Here it is. Sounds like shit due to the iPhone camera and mic. And I'm not playing anyting but some ringing chords. But hey... It's something.

Thanks, gives a good indication of what it does, to the backdrop of a JC160

Not sure I can live with a flashing LED though, might have to totaly mod with a "rainbow LED" for RAVE times.

Well, finally got around to soldering up my Muskiding Tremulus Lune kit this week. I did in fact substitute the stock red LED for a rainbow LED for RAVE times.

It worked well for about an hour, now it's gone all intermittent on me. Signal still passes but no effect and no life in the LED when it does this :'(

Damn gimicky raving rainbow LEDs
