This is my first attempt at creating a more complicated PCB. The inspiration for the pedal was plentiful. My girls (and I) like the Band Camino. It is a pop band, but they do a good job. They have a song called Daphne Blue. The song begins with a simple chord progression, but the the magic is the vibrato played by the guitarist that makes the opening sparkle. The second inspiration is a guitarist called Matteo Asato. He is phenomenal. He can shred, rock, but then write the most melodic pieces. With these pieces, his vibrato is front and center, making the music more interesting. The third inspiration is Hendrix, so need I say more. Those inspirations led me to use a Univibe for the first circuit. I used AionFx's circuit because it had several modifications that are fantastic. The mods include a cancel switch, so you could use the pre-amp only, and darlington transistors for the bulb driver.

The last inspiration was @Chuck D. Bones's Emperor circuit. I used the one segment of his Emperor circuit, which is an optimized King (Prince) of Tone. I like the changes he made, but also optimized the circuit with more common parts. I made one error with the PCP with this part of the pedal, but I was able to fix it with a simple jumper wire.
