Title: Colorsound Tremolo
Post by: evildead222 on November 19, 2013, 12:25:33 AM
I made a Colorsound Tremolo.  The LED blinks with the speed.  This was the first blinking light tremolo I made and it was a bitch trying to figure it out.  The only thing I don't like is the gargantuous 470nf caps, they were the only ones I had.  Other than that it sounds sweet.

I like this! Very "Grind Customs" sort of look.

Could I ask where you found the layout for this? I've been on the lookout for a good trem and this looks cool.

Nice! Is the effect more on the Fender Amp or Helicopter side of the spectrum?
