No, it's a tap tempo controlled tremolo - just have a second look on it. ;) I guess you'll gonna do that after a second glimps: :slap:

Very nice!. I assume that the THAT2180 it's a VCA. Can you take pictures of the other side of the board?

The whole pedal revolves around the programming of the microcontroller. Everything else you see is just the analog audio path and the infrastructure to all the pots and jacks from the microcontroller.
