Magnatron (Simple Vibrato)

[raulduke]

A simple vibrato I built for a customer.

Based on the Magnavibe/Escobedo Wobbletron. After trying a variety of LED/LDR combos, I used a VTL5C3 for maximum 'wobbliness'.

This effect is subtle, in a nice way (its not in your face like some modulation effects), and really comes into its own when combined with a little delay, reverb, and also with tremolo bar use 

Vintage style knobbies from RS in the UK (love em  )

I've also stopped using the connectors on my 3PDT boards, and now solder directly to the PCB. Much neater looking IMO.

Anyway, hope you like the pics!

Your builds always look so elegant.

i love those knobs!  you said you got those at radio spares?  wanna float a link ...  probably prohibitively expensive to get them shipped to the states, though...

[raulduke]

Thanks for the kind words guys.

r.e. the Knobs.

No idea how much shipping will be, you'll have to check.

cool thanks!  do they have a set screw, or are they press-fit?

I need to build one of these. Too many good comments on the circuit!

I really love the uniformity of your pedals. When I see one I know exactly whos it is and thats a good thing. I love my Magnaclone also, great effect. Now that I'm thinking about it I really need to re-box mine.
