TREMSHIFTER

[deadastronaut]

finally got it built...presenting the 'TREMSHIFTER'

everything works great, i will be changing the C10 cap on the filter lfo from a 10uf to 22 or 47uf to get a nice sloooooooow sweep on the filter..

other than that i'm happy...

here's the schemo for those that are going to be building this.. look forward to seeing your builds guys..






i used 2k-24k ldrs.

5mm super blue for ldr 1 / 5mm super green for ldr 2

and used 3mm orange for the lfo indicators....

i used 1458's but i'm sure 072's will be fine..

if you fancy building it, pcb's are available: £11.00 GBP . pm' me ok. (i only have a couple left, but have placed an order for more ok)

Ha ha!     Brilliant video, Rob!  See my comment in the member vid thread re. Petey's Soviet fuzz vid - same applies here.  Pedal looks great, too.  Nice knobs.  (I imagine that's what the girl in the video was talking about...  )

[peterg]

Looks great Rob!

[Mark Hammer]

Asynchronous modulation is a beautiful thing, baby.

Nice work, Rob.

[deadastronaut]

cheers guys....

off to my next project now...ahhhh its nice to have empty breadboards.....briefly...

[WhiskeyMadeMeDoIt]

Rob I love the build it looks great.  Doesn't look like your usual design it has a retro look.

[bean]

This thing is...wowsers.

[tommycataus]

I'm gonna have to send you the furniture cleaning bill because I drooled all the way through that demo... 

[dthurstan]

Great build, I love the dist + trem + filter sound. 

[petey twofinger]

you mentioned you were bread boarding a tremolo , and this is right after i just slapped together an ea with " mods "  

as always i am seriously impressed , great work sir     gristlizer shmistlizer

now to get back to work on the time machine so i can go back , breadboard the stuff i already built  in future , but then attempt to make it half as awesome as you always do .  

seriously , WANT pmed , i can see a few half a dozen songs materializing thru that thing , easily . especially using it with delay , i am thinking it would work very well on bass and synth as well . i may be needing a few of these things .

i may sound lover enthusiastic here but Rob , you really earned it .

[stallik]

  Wow Rob! never been too keen on Trem but simply love this. Great sounds, stunning build and I nearly p****d myself watching the demo intro. Great job all round

[deadastronaut]

Great build, I love the dist + trem + filter sound.  

yeah me too , thats my fav....with delay too...

swapping the C10 out now...for  longer sweeps...


the filter switch, cold be a footswich btw..



cheers guys.  

[slacker]

Sounds great Rob, very nice work

[samhay]

Not bad Rob - looks like the dog's bollocks.
Sounded like you might have been channeling some Jean Michel Jarre at about 11 min. Bet he didn't think that would be possible with a guitar and stompbox.

I don't think the development thread is really quite long enough yet, so for the deluxe version, shall we aim for envelope control and/or tap tempo?

[deadastronaut]

^ cheers sam, 

yeah i gues we could add more n more to it just to make up the pages...


just stuck my phaser breadboard experiment after this...man, its the nuts...very synthy. 

my phaser's next on the list to build for sure...

[bluebunny]

never been too keen on Trem

Me neither.  I mean, what's the deal: volume goes up and down a bit...?

WRONG!   

[Ben N]

Not bad Rob - looks like the dog's bollocks.

That's a compliment... right? 

[midwayfair]

Rob, that's brilliant! And you made a PCB! This is why you're one of my favorite people. Well, that and the sausage pics.

Just out of curiosity, though -- did you intentionally make all the pots backwards?

[jubal81]

Mind. Blown. 

[deadastronaut]

did you intentionally make all the pots backwards?

cheers john, yeah i just couldn't be bothered with ordering up reverse log pots.. its both 'rates' that are 1M log just wired in reverse. (if you want to use reverse logs, just ...erm...reverse the connections. )

but i know what they do..i can live with it. 

cheers guys.
