When I met fuzzbuzzfuzz in Augsburg last week we talked about the perfect analog tremolo pedal and that it is non-existent. I'd love to see a tremolo built by you, Laurie!laurie wrote: ↑Tue Feb 28, 2023 1:57 amI love the specificityfuzzbuzzfuzz wrote: ↑Tue Feb 28, 2023 1:17 amBtw, how about a nice tremolo pedal build?
Like most effects I love it and have a dozen or more I use...yet I can see room to improve, functionally.
Someting the size of the Architect fuzz (and the rock solid build quality!). (the BBE Tremor I have is about right)
One of my favouritesis actually the Maxon Stereo Box - which is technically a pan but functions as a tremolo in mono mode. The PN-2 gets very close soundwise with less control of the speed.
- 2 independent speeds/depths is the key, hopefully with a "ramp" time.
Wave shape of the basics - square, triangle, sine + "Skew" (that off centre wobble vintage tone is perfect)
Volume/boost/preamp control.
Surf green, white Fender knobs or similar (Like the TC Pipeline maybe?)
Expression jack (to ramp speed or depth)
Of course tap tempo would be the icing on the cake but its not essential.
Clear largish LEDs that flash the tempo.
Thoughts?
(Actaully I also recal I have a Fuchs Creme de la Trem in the junk pile which I loved - harmonic style trem. Now something like that on a mode would be thoroughly welcome! 18v fried the Fuchs, but its fiddly small circuit. They did send two replacement chips but to no avail. I also flipped out the diode but no dice.)
I haven't ever thought of doing a tremolo - I bought a Fulltone Supatrem years ago and it does everything I need.
