Title: Tremolo with shape control?
Post by: Pedro Fontacos on June 06, 2013, 09:02:07 PM
Hi all, will there ever be a Madbean tremolo with shape circuit?  I built a GGG EA Trem and like it except for 2 things.

1. Too compressed sounding
2. No shape control for a nice "chop"

I ended up buying a Boss TR-2 because it didn't have the compression issue and has a shape knob.  The pedal more than gets the job done but I know it can be better.....at least I think so.  Any ideas?

Yes. I'm working on it right now as a matter of fact. You will be able to select triangle, square and sine waves. Plus, another really cool trick.

I'm very excited to hear, is there a time frame in mind or is it still too early to tell?

I can't say a release date for sure, but I would expect pretty soon. I just figured out the last little bug on it today so I'm ready to prototype it. It will be called the "Phobos". It also has dynamic control over the trem rate, which is pretty fun.

Dynamic control over the rate?  That sounds awesome.  I'm guessing there will be a sensitivity knob for this?  Can't wait to see the build doc!  Good luck with the prototype 😊

Yes, it has a knob that controls the sensitivity from pretty much off to wacko. It's a really fun trick.

Damn you, you're like the soldering iron version of blue balls...
