EA Tremolo

[Funky_Tomo]

Hey, I've had my EA tremolo for around 6 months so far. Havent had much wrong with it, but all of a sudden it stopped tremoloing.!

I did change one of the 1 uf capacitors to a .22 uf to make it go faster as i had a spare one from making the pedal in the first place. Is this why its broken? I have replaced the .22 uf back to a 1 uf but it still wont work. When i put the tremolo on, nothing comes through. Its completely blank. Any ideas? Thanks

Also I made one for my friend who just told me the volume doesnt work at all! Its loud as much as it can no matter where he turns the vol pot. Any ideas thanks!

Reflow your joints and, ahem, brush up on your soldering skills?

Either you need to retouch the solder joints on the capacitor or something else came loose you were trading out caps.  Although it could be anywhere, touch up the joints on the input and output jacks as well as the volume pot for starters.

Are you the Tomo of "Accelerate Your Guitar Playing" fame?  If so, I enjoy the DVD.  I just need to get away from building pedals and into building a better practice routine.  Good Luck!

Haha, no im not that Tomo. But I am equally as badass.

Thanks guys i might try that. Ive had the same thing happen before and I managed to find a capacitor loose. So maybe thats why. Ill tell you if i fix it, thanks for helping out a young padwan noob.
