There´s a sucker born every minute - and too many of them end up in the bootweak pedal biz.

OK, so it's an op-amp based tremolo, coz I don't see any optical components (or tubes). Didn't Bajaman build something like this with his Trem-bu-lator? Getting this into a schematic should take a lifetime.

Anyway, not the nicest build in the world, but I'm really not one to speak :lol:

Thanks for the gut-shots. Does anyone know what it sounds like?

All the best!

I wonder if this is based on a 555 timer ? :hmmm:

I'm surprised that nobody has really paid attention to this thread. It's a good sounding pedal, I just haven't had the free time to trace it yet. The photos I added should be plenty though.

If you can note the wiring (in/out, etc.) I can add this to my "make a schem" pile with my fulltone tremolo. I can try to get to both this weekend.

I no longer have the unit available to me. The switch photo should help, and I'll look for any other pictures I may have in my files though. :)

Guess it might be similar to the EA trem with an op-amp LFO?
Testing, testing, won too fwee
