<3 his designs.

Indeed, they are a very cool starting point. I've only tried two of them out but the vibrato one was nice enough for me to think "I can do something with this".

Tremorelolz sounds awesome.

Wow those are ace! I love the chop thing! :D

that's sounding really nice mike, your proper good at this building stuff.

Finalised Trem Circuit

i want one!!

I want TWO!

It would be nice to own something that's not a dirt pedal, got my sights set on one of these and the student loan is ripe for pickin'.

i was going to ask about volume drop... the boss ones are terrible for it. i bought one, used it for half an hour then took it straight back. rubbish. yours sounds rather good, i must say.

top banana, mike. sounds awesomely awesometastic.

quote my ass on shipping. 94536 in california.

The trem on it's own will probably be £70/$140 shipped to anywhere.

I'm making a prototype of the trem and vibrato in one casing for a bargain knock down £80 for both pedals in one case! I MUST BE CRAZY

well punch me in the face and call me AUG. that sounds amazing.

livesley, you are a man among men.

Well it'll be a little while before I can get my act together making these into pedals, I need to test the water and see what people want.

In fact I've added some info to my pedal thread in the Whorehouse.

That really does sound excellent, Mike.

Cheers. At some point I want to have some toggle-able Diodes to drop into the signal to add some grit.

Slick tones by Mike doing it again. NOICE.

The Moollon Tremolo does a itsy bitsy micro boost as well, and live users have given us props for how useful that can be on stage. Just the same, we get a letter every now and then that asks us if it can be done away with altogether. I find it quite refreshing, really.

Yeah, I'm in the same camp, there is nothing wrong with a little push to say "Hi, here I am", when the tremolo is on.

I built it with the chunky wide-range MOSFET boost input stage to ensure it never got sucked down and I really like it. I think trimpots for the volume for the small boxes and a volume control for the larger implementations will work well, people can even drop the depth and cop a solo boost if they want.

Sounds great dude. As a trem fan, I'd say putting some kind of waveform ratio trim in there would be a good call, it seems a little lopsided in the harder modes, making there more OFF than ON. Just a thought, yo.

I'm not really sure how to do that. I can maybe look into it.

I wouldn't have a clue, but it's defo possible- the EHX Pulsar amongst others have a dial for that, so you can have rising or falling sine wave in the triangle mode, or control the balance between "on" and "off" in square mode.

I've no idea how interchangable those kind of ideas are between designs, couldn't find a schematic for the Pulsar, alas.

The Pulsar uses a completely different method for the LFO than my Tremolo does.

Mine is literally a npn Bipolar transistor based switched-Capacitor LFO, a MOSFET booster input stage which is being modulated by a JFET.
