Is it good?  I see it only has a Rate knob thats 1k which is great because thats the only pot I have left for a few days, and I have all of the parts.  I dont need the Master Volume at the end, because I never really use it.  I want to use Dragonfly's layout for it.

I think the vero is verified (is it?).  Also is it a good tremelo?

Thanks, Kerry

it's verified :)

if you like "choppy" tremolo's, the kay is pretty cool...kind of "stuttery"...pretty cool.

if you want "warm", "smooth", and "buttery" sounding tremolos ("buttery"...what the hell am I saying :)  did I mention adjectives suck  ? ) then look elsewhere....

cool.  It looks nice and simple.  It may be on my to-build list.  I say may, because everytime I look at a new thing, I want to build it...  ;D

K-Trem is great, very choppy, I made one about 18months ago from Andy's vero :D
However, for the "Ultimate Buttery - choppy" and all inbetween, the Tremulous Lune is hard
to beat !

I have to vote for the EA myself.....
I like the Lune, I built it and boxed it but, I'm still partial to the EA circuit....maybe 'cause I'm Old-School.
-or- just old  ::)

The EA Trem is very nice.  I might try the Kay trem too, I just ordered a bunch of Vero.

/End of sucking up  ;)
