Classic Tremolo ... with Hot Glue!

I've been trying to learn CCR songs lately and needed a tremolo effect to get me in the ballpark sound-wise.

I built up a JMK PCB's Classic Tremolo with graphics inspired by a boutique reverb I'd seen that fitted the effect:





2 LEDs: 1 for on/off, 1 for rate.

I had some trouble with nasty cracking, popping, grounding-type noise, but it turned out to be a trannie siting loose in a socket (solved with hot glue).

Much thanks to Jacob (jkokura) and Ben (rullywowr) for some coaching and confidence-building on this one.

Great little effect!

A little pink lettering on that thing and Don Johnson will steal it from you.

Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

Very "vice city" looking. Glad you got it sorted. I dig!
