but alas my hands are big and fat, and i would use a chissel.
I was rubbish at first, once I discovered solid core wires and built a whack load of boosters I got a whole lot better.

it's a shame that it can be fussy, because it is such a lovely delay pedal, well worth the money.
i've ordered a trex fueltank jr to power everything.

i am well chuffed, though toying with rehousing the reel echo or downsizing the delay.

Tremolo/Vibrato Demo Video, it's for sale for £80/$160 shipped. Which is cheap as chips for two such effects in one case. If I build anymore of these to order, bear in mind they will be more like £90/$180 shipped.

how much would you do just the tremolo section for out of curiosity?

Trem on it's own I think I would be able to fit in a small case (probably) and it would be £70/$140.

bit steep for 1 pedal, i'd defiantly go for the 190 for the vibrato goodness
add 1 more to the interested list

Well I won't build any more Trems or Vibratos unless someone orders one explicitly.
There was a lot of interest in the 2-in-1 prototype which I have in Classifieds at a very good price, but noone really seems interested when it comes to the crunch. So I'm not going to speculate to accumulate anymore, I'm only going to build pedals when people actually want to buy them and make a proper request for one.

I guess this is where differentiation comes between you building clones and your own designs...Your own will need prototypes for people to hear/see them.
But you're probably right on the clone front - build to order.

Hey Mike, I will definitely have the pedal.... I like it a lot !! ... I just need some funds first, had a few too many spends recently.
Don't suppose you're interested in trades at all... ?
