I've been trying to learn CCR songs lately and needed a tremolo effect to get me in the ballpark sound-wise.
I built up a JMK PCB's Classic Tremolo with graphics inspired by a boutique reverb I'd seen that fitted the effect:
2 LEDs: 1 for on/off, 1 for rate.
I had some trouble with nasty cracking, popping, grounding-type noise, but it turned out to be a trannie siting loose in a socket (solved with hot glue).
Much thanks to Jacob (jkokura) and Ben (rullywowr) for some coaching and confidence-building on this one.
Great little effect!

A little pink lettering on that thing and Don Johnson will steal it from you.

Very "vice city" looking. Glad you got it sorted. I dig!
