I have breadborded one based on the GGG Improved EA Tremolo, and thats working fine - but i couldn't get this on working on vero....

The LED seemed to be around the wrong way, so i reversed it but it just stayed on solid.....double checked transistor pinouts etc and reversed them just for the hell of it

I traced around the whole board following the schematic from the ROG site, but I have not been able to find any threads over here in which people have used this layout??

Seems I do most of the answering on my own threads!  ;D

For the sake of completeness and to help any others who may come across this thread in their search for answers, here is what I found out....

After some searching, I found a few threads at the other place with people having problems with this very layout (various issues, so it may not be the layout). The LED is definitley backwards.

One person had clamied to have made a few boards sucessfully, but did not then reply to any further requests for pics etc. So as far as finding someone who has used this layout, I am still at a loss.

However, I did manage to find a link to a lot of Torchy's old layouts (at last!!) one of which being the ROG EA Tremolo. The parts count is almost identical apart from a reverse log 100k rate pot. Each lug of each pot (apart from volume lug 2 for output) has a dedicated hookup to the board, unlike this layout. The torchy layout also fits into the enclosure better and has more room for the 3 huge 1uf caps.....

I slapped it all together and it worked first time  :icon_mrgreen:
