Fitting a tremolo in a Morley Wah enclosure, optical circuit

Ok, you got your soldering iron and nothing is going to hold you back, but you have no clue where to start or what to build. There were others before you with the same questions... read them first.

Hi all,

I am about to buy a used Morley Wah Pro Series like this for cheap:

I want to put a Tremolo circuit that is already built (Tremulus Lune clone from Musikding) into it ,after removing of the wah circuit, to adjust the speed of the effect with the treadle of the Morley.
The sweep mechanism of the Morley is an optical LED+LDR circuit, and I'd like to fit it in the tremolo circuit or wire a new one to replace the speed pot of the tremolo.

Do you guys think it is something doable? If so, my skills in electronics are not sufficient to determine where to isolate the optical circuit of the Morley to adapt it to the Tremolo. I know that I need to isolate the LED and LDR of course, but I don't know if I need the caps and resistors wired around. Can someone help me please?

Here is the schematics of the Tremolo:

and the schematic of the Morley:

Thanks ! :wink:
