Hey all

Here's my build of the Twin Peaks trem. First of all hats of to Drolo for an excellent PCB, build doc and all the help he has given me.

I previously built the Music PCB tap tempo tremolo but could never get rid of the ticking. Whilst there is some ticking in this build its only on the deepest, harshest settings on a couple of the wave shapes so I'm happy. It's gone straight on my board.

It nails the How Soon is Now sound too. Will try and record a demo at some point.

Really like the bass/treble mode too. You can get almost a vibrato or rotating speaker sound put of it. Really musical.





Guts (if I have too)



I really recommend giving this a go. Don't let the two board layout put you off. The build doc really does a good job of explaining how to solder everything together and you can obviously make things easier on yourself by using board mounted pots. The PCB is a dream to solder too. Thanks David!

Cheers

Looks great, I especially like the graphic representation of the modes!

 :o Killer artwork man! I love this build the knob layout is pure awesomeness. What's the extra control for?

What a great looking build!!! 

I just went through my pile of PCBs only to find I never bought one of these.   :(

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

I also would like to know. Is it the volume trimpot mounted externally?

Guybrush

Cheers guys.

Yep, the extra knob is the volume trimmer wired externally.

Thanks guys.

Here's a clip of me playing How Soon is now by The Smiths using the pedal. Maybe not the best demo of the pedal as I only use one setting but hopefully of some interest to someone. [soundcloud]https://soundcloud.com/martin-samuels-7/how-soon-is-now-26042015-1653[/soundcloud]
