Hey!
So after falling in love with the sound of stereo tremolo, particularly with variable phases between 'left' and 'right' (like the flux effects liquid tremolo or the 'rt. phase' control on the EHX super pulsar), I've got the idea stuck in my head to design one myself, to my own requirements. Only problem is, I actually don't know how the basic tremolo circuit operates!
If you could share some of your valuable knowledge here, I'd very much appreciate it! I'm keen to learn about LFO design and operation, how to use it to create the tremolo effect, how to add tap capabilities, how to trem two signals with out of phase LFOs while maintaining control over the phase shift, and anthing else you may think is important!
to give some context, the feature set I'd ideally put in is:
*Stereo or mono operation
*Stereo phase control
*tap tempo
*At least square and triangle waveforms
*All the usual suspects (rate, depth, volume, shape skewing)
I'm currently studying electrical engineering (fourth year), so i understand most things about resistors, capacitors, inductors, basic op amp circuits, etc.
I'm happy to spend time reading articles or explanations if there are some particularly useful ones. I'm planning on lots of research before even starting schematic design!
I'm keen to learn, so please be keen to share!
