Title: Helicopter/stuttering tremolo
Post by: midwayfair on February 11, 2012, 09:55:48 PM
Is it possible to build an optical or TR-2 style tremolo to actually stutter? I'd love if someone at least pointed me in the right direction. Stock models never actually get that deep, and at least a couple forum posts have indicated that they won't.

I did find a schematic for the Vox Repeater, which presumably I can mod to be like a Hummingbird, but I was wondering if there was anything else out there to consider.

trem lune does stutter, sine, up/down ramp etc. easy and super versatile.

Check out Taylor's Tap Tempo Trem over at musicpcb. That one is killer. Might be what your looking for.

Somehow I missed that in the Trem Lune. I guess I was watching the wrong clips.  :-\

I'm not sure there's any way I can fit that circuit in a 1590B though, not even if I use all mini pots and transfer it to perfboard. I guess I can cut some controls ... Taylor's Tap tempo is definitely too big.

OOOH it will fit in the smaller enclosure! http://nickfuckinggill.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/photo0050.jpg
