How about this:

I dunno how to do that Doog

I'm not sure how much interest there will be in my Tremolo anyway, we'll see how it goes. I think it's versatile enough with Depth, Speed (and potential volume) controls with a switchable Speed. Any more controls and it would have to take up a larger case all on it's own.

Mine only works because it's vintage style and cribbed to shit. A squarewave one is a lot harder I think.

Before you shelve it try taking your trem signal and using it to fuck with a MOSFET booster.

That's bloody brilliant. That's the NAMM entry quota in one go.

I'd be interested in a 2-in-1.... ;) Either that or the trem by itself...

Some great sounds !!!

Cheers Owen, keep an eye on the whorehouse thread and the classifieds, the 2-in-1 prototype should be finished over the next week or so. I plan to demo it and maybe put it on sale.

Or alternatively I could make you your own version at some point.

Great !! How easy would it be to lengthen the pulses ? that's the only mod I'd want maybe...

but otherwise it's spot on.... would you be able to incorporate the chop mode on a tremelo alone ?

cheers

Unfortunately not, the chop mode is specific to the Vibrato design (or how I broke it). I might be able to play with the Trem design in the future with regard to pulses and choppiness but for now what is demoed in that video is what I'll be building.

I don't have a lot of time for R&D unfortunately

No worries, How about a 2-1 with chop... ?

If not, the trem how it is alone is good enough for me...

You mean the chop on a footswitch? Or just on a toggle?

Currently the 2-in-1 is going to look like this:

i.e. a footswitch for tremolo on/off, a footswitch for vibrato on off, and toggles for Chop (vibrato) and Double Rate (tremolo).

Oh i know it seems like it. Someday maybe you'll have kids, though.

Chop on a toggle is just fine... please reserve me one of them when you're done ;)

Wow. That trem sounds great. For $160 shipped, I may be interested in one of these if I am in a good financial situation when you're done building. The double rate switch gives it a lot of potential.
