Hi there!

Can anyone point me in the direction of a really simple tremolo circuit? Maybe something with just speed/ and depth.

Cheers
Ross

You could build the EA Trem. Simple, nice sounding, and you could make the volume a trimpot on the board if you only want two knobs.

Here's the GGG info: http://www.generalguitargadgets.com/content/view/142/26/
If it ain't broke...   ...it will be soon.

The Kay tremolo is cool

It doesn't even have a second pot for depth, though there's an easy mod to add one.

You can also get an EA trem board from Tonepad.

I like the Colorsound and Schaller/Hearthrob vintage trems,
both simple, great sounding 2 knobbers!

+1 -> this is what I'm doing next week, just waiting for some components to come and I'm gonna paint the enclosure first too! BRIGHT YELLOW :D How does it sound? I was confused at which mod to go with, there seems to be SO many... does the one you did have flashing LED in sync with the rate?

skrunk

yeah I built the hearthrob with 2 LEDs, one for bypass and one for the flashing rate.
its a very simple mod.

Thanks I'll look into those
