Spaghetti Western Tremolo (EA) with demo

[pryde]

Here is a vero build of the classic EA Tremolo with mods made by ROG. I have always read great things about this tremolo so I thought I would give it a shot. I really like it as it is super warm and sine-wave (ala Fender-type trem). This one is simple and hits the mark for me for occasional trem.

Whenever i hear trem it reminds me of classic spaghetti-western flicks so why not  

I also included a very quick demo, excuse the playing and probably bad recording as I am trying to figure out my settings. So:

Fender strat>Egnater tweaker 15 with the tremolo and rub-a-dub reverb in effects loop. Recorded with SM57 and x2u into Audacity software.

I liked the demo quite a bit.

One great thing about the modded EA's is that they can drive a tube amp pretty well too.

Any links to the RoG mods for this tremolo... really would like to add this to my board.

good sounds pryde.
I like that decal too.  It reminds me of Eastwood in A Fistful of Dollars.  "Get three coffins ready."

Great looking build and a nice, clean build.

On a related but still derailing side note.  What size hole are you using that the snap in jack stays put?  They tend to pull out on me, so I started drilling slightly smaller, which broke the tab when I snapped it in.  I ended up hand filing wings for it to enter and then rotating it.

Thanks for the compliments good people. I built it using the attached vero. You can jumper R6 to decrease minimum rate and decrease the 1uf caps to .68uf to increase the maximum rate.



Pickdropper, I drill the 9v jack hole smaller like you but then slowly increase it using a T-handle reamer (Harbor Freight has them). The reamer puts a small 5 degree taper in the hole which helps with insertion. I have not had any issues but there is a little trial-error involved.
