Title: Cardinal Harmonic Tremolo V2
Post by: pryde on January 23, 2016, 10:50:27 PM
Hey gang I just finished this one up, my first 2016 build. Jon's Cardinal Trem I won from him in a PIF. I don't build to many pedals for myself these days but this one is a keeper. The harmonic tremolo setting is really something special. Very pricey to build this one but worth it I think.

I had this blue 1590B for a long while and finally found a good circuit for it. I used the optical bypass also from 1776. A tight fit to get everything in there but in the end turned out pretty clean. Obviously went for a vintage, cupcake-type thingy and covered it in ET. I like it.

Awesome! I love your graphics.

I cant wait to get my tap tempo Cardinal ready. Funny thing: I printed the graphics literally two hours ago and used the exact same name. ;D

Super classy, Jeff. This is beautiful work. Good for you for building one for yourself. I think it's a worthy circuit and I plan to follow suit.
