Title: Magnatrem (Tremolo + Vibrato).
Post by: raulduke on March 13, 2014, 05:24:43 PM
I built one of these as a custom job for a client.

I really liked it, and it came out well, so I've built myself one too.

Two of my favourite mod circuits in one pedal: EA Trem and Magnavibe Vibrato.

Lovely enclosure courtesy of Ben Coles. I also used a Vactrol rather than LED+LDR combo (I prefer it this way).

Hope y'all digging it  :)

Very nice, and I'm with you on the vactrol thing, though I built up a 2 in 1 STM and Phasevibe and put the LDRs all very close to each other, and you can get some interesting effects from the cross talk between the circuits like ghost pulses on the trem.

Love it, have to try those circuits yet.

Dig those rows of standing resistors.

That is a great idea! Well done!

Wow it's so pretty! Does the switch do trem or vibe or is it for something else?

Thanks for the kind words guys!

The switch is just for switching between Vibrato and Tremolo circuits.

Have you any pcb left or have you planned to share as an oshpark project?

I would like to give this one a try if possible

I would love to hear it....?

Thanks for the comments guys.

As for PCB's, I have one left but it is reserved for another potential project unfortunately.

I have a load of stuff I need to send of for small batches (Tonmeister, Fuzzmites etc.), so I could get a small batch of these if there is enough interest (min 10 people).

Oh yeah. Tonmeister and Magnatrem for me, please.

And if we don't get up to 10 for the Magnatrem, then I'm in for 2x Magnatrem and a Tonmeistr

Cool. Thanks for letting me know guys.

Need to get my arse in gear and get them ordered!
