-Saltboost-sized box, no finish or owt, any LEDs or knobs you've got kicking about that aren't much use.
-Very hard square wave tremolo, proper 'on/off' stuff.
-Dial for rate on the box, volume "ratio" ala the Saltshaker as internet trim pots. Failing that, I guess a slightly bigger case and all 3 dials on the box.
-Momentary footswitch
-Rate to get very very fast, to go way into ring mod territory like the Pulsar.
Feasible?
Just to update on this dude: to save myself some much-needed funds but still have funs, I've had a very basic idea of making a bypass loop with a momentary DPDT footswitch so I can switch in tremolo etc from an existing pedal.
Could potentially be quite an interesting device, especially when used rhythmically..
Apologies for making it look like a SALE originally!

No worries at all man, that's a cool idea! If you're looking for momentary switches I think you can only get them in DPDTs and only from places like Banzai/Musikding/US Vendors.
I made the Trem board today actually to do some playing with it and worked out how to double the rate and tie off the unused controls. I'll probably build it into a case anyway and flog it, I'm sure I'll get a buyer if I manage to cram it into a Saltbooster sized case with Depth, Speed, Ratio and Shape controls with internal gain adjustment trimmer.

Really? I managed to find one on eBay fairly easily, maybe I just got lucky: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0430361016Mike wrote:No worries at all man, that's a cool idea!

Good stuff, hope it will make you lots of monies!I made the Trem board today actually to do some playing with it and worked out how to double the rate and tie off the unused controls.

I've wired one in the past (I forgot for what) and it's nae too bad- just go crazy-go-nuts with the solder and it's aawhhllll good.Mike wrote:Fair play, looks like pins rather than tags so take care with your soldering and make sure you get a nice wrap of wire on each pin for extra strength.
You'll have to make a demo of what you come up with.
Will defo get some kind of demo up- could be quite a fun lil' tool, I feel.
