What I want is basically to be able to turn on a pedal and have it stutter very fast like a killswitch. I figure I might as well make a tremolo and be able to do other things with it. The main thing though is the ability to do a very choppy and fast tremolo. Suggestions? Thanks in advance
Oh it's too obvious, but I'll go for it.
Kinda like a circuit box with burst switch?
Sorry.
Pulsar and schaller tremelo both are choppy. the schaller is more versatile.
kay tremolo!!!
the Gristleizer gives ridiculous chop
+1 on the Gristleizer.
Hi blooze_man,
My double tremolo is derived from the Colorsound Tremolo and sounds from subtle to chop, with no volume loss, no throb noise nor hiss, and "à la vintage", not like a Carl Martin Surf-trem. Sorry, I don't have sound samples means to get you to hear it. I use it in my R&B band with a DOD250 in the chop mode, on the treble PU, for some psychelelic leads... A killer effect, indeed...

A+!
My Tremulous Bear will do that, and the PC Board is $15.00.

If you only want chop, you can simplify it by leaving out the triangle wave function.

Hi Tubelectron,
Your design looks interesting, but I don't quite understand what the 3pDT switch does. Is it a speed doubler?
EDIT:
O duh, should have looked a little closer. I get it now, it's two trems in one box and that switches between them, yes? Very cool idea. I may build this.
I looked up the Gristleizer. It does exactly what I want. I will look up layouts for it

That's nearly it : one trem with 2 switchable sets of controls... If you listen to the tremolo guitar on Pink Floyd's "Money" (The Dark Side of the Moon), you'll get a very good idea of the effect it gives when maxed and preceeded by a DOD 250.
A+!

3 words....

I have an old Boss Tremolo/Pan pedal, and it does exactly what you're talking about. In the square wave setting, it sounds like a sequencer. I used to play around for hours just doing stuff with that setting. I'm not sure if there is a schematic around for it, and you wouldn't need the pan part of the circuit, but it's a great choppy trem in that setting.
