question about the double harmonic tremolo

[zgrav]

I see this is a stereo in, stereo out project that can also take an input from one channel to output to two channels. does this pedal offer something more than the standard harmonic tremolo if it is only going to be used for one channel in and one channel out?

Not really. You could of course have one channel before the amp and one in the effects loop or something like that, to get some interesting results in mono, but otherwise if you’re gonna be in strictly mono, you’d be better off doing the regular pendulum

thanks. I have built the regular pendulum and liked it enough to order the double. I will probably leave it in the board inventory for a while. Maybe it would be interesting to take the second channel through a phaser before recombining them with an effects loop.

If you don’t mind doing offboard wiring, you could omit the bypass led and then use two separate 3PDTs wired up as normal true bypass in place of the 4pdt (millennium bypass? No schematic yet, but I’m guessing that’s how the led is hooked up) so you can bypass/engage the left and right channels separately. That would allow you to have harmonic trem before dirt, after dirt, or both before and after dirt (or into amp and in effects loop; before/after phaser; whayever) for three different distinct harmonic tremolo tones.

certainly some options there. I may put a couple (or three) trem pedals in the Klein Bottle to see how the sounds interact.
