Tremolo/Reverb Combo?

Anyone ever make a tremolo and reverb combo pedal that just "worked" tonally? Thinking about doing one of the belton brick pcbs into some sort of tremolo a la Strymon Flint. Love the idea of combining the two, and was just wondering if anyone has any suggestions.

We've all kind of been pooping our pants over Drolo's twin peaks tap tempo tremolo. I have one that I run into my rub a dub deluxe and it sounds gorgeous. I think he still has some left from the recent group buy. It's definitely the most versatile trem i've ever played, hands down. As far the the reverbs go, you know what your options are with the brick. if I were you, I'd go all out and do a box with deadastronaut's chasm reverb and the twin peaks trem. The chasm can be had here: http://deadastronaut.wix.com/index#!__build-your-own-pedal

Currently working on a combined Twin Peaks and Surfy Bear spring reverb. I generally prefer the reverb first (like putting a Fender tube reverb into an amp with trem) but will likely include a 4pdt 'order flipper' switch. Reverb plus brownface trem sounds huge - hard to believe it's a mono signal, it sounds so 3d.

I am willing to build the same kind of combo. Has anyone made any progress?

I sometimes think I must be nearly the only person who prefers the Tenebrion to the Rub-a-dub (although, to be fair, I have not built the new version with the BTDR3 brick.)

Check out Jubal81's awesome revibe build, a pedal combining a surfy bear fet reverb and a cardinal tremolo in parallel, together with a bloviator

JMK PCB's sell an EA Trem PCB. It is my favourite tremolo. Nothing fancy but it sounds great and has a nice sine wave LFO.

1776 sell the Rub a Dub reverb PCB, which also sounds great to my ears. For a little more tweakability the Grind Customs Tenebrion is cool.

You could easily build those two into a 2in1 pedal (tremolo feeding the verb).

That sounds like a winner. I think a lot of term verb combos would sound great and I hadn't thought of a pedal like this before. Makes a lot of sense though given these are often effects combined on an amp

My next build is the phaser/tremolo/verb combo, so yeah, love those sounds!

I am still trying to find a perfect choice for the verb though. Been looking a lot at the EQD Ghost Echo which is basically a verb to my ears, but cringe at the thought of having to do it on a vero...haven't stumbled upon a pcb yet.

I think that fuzzdog pedals' Spectre verb PCB is a EQD Ghost Echo, but I'm not sure (the schematic looks close but didn't check the components).

Are there PCBs available for the Twin Peaks?
