The classic vibrato/tremolo misnomer aside, I had been looking forward to this pedal.
Tremolo is my favorite type of modulation. I had built a chorus, phaser, and flanger mainly to revisit them, but they’re just not my thing.
This one came right together. I drilled it a bit off center, but I can live with it. I noticed my big fat toggle switch was the same thread size as my footswitch, so I put dress nuts on both.
The aesthetic is kind of goofy, but I find the quirkiness endearing.
Blah blah… how does it sound? After a quick biasing by ear, great! The triangle, sine and square LFOs are all very usable. I was a bit surprised that the rate knob went slower with CW turn.
If I could change anything it would be just to slow down the oscillation a bit. I would like to be able to go slower, and I don’t need it to go as fast as it does. Maybe I’ll look into that.
