Go with the LFO.

tap tempo

Just a quick post.

I’ve been building a tremolo for a friend, I usually make something based on the Schaller tremolo pedal, but after a bit of searching I found a very cool, pre-programmed microcontroller from Electric Druid called the STOMPLFO .

I know I’m late to the party, and there are even more advanced versions of these but I couldn’t help but still be a bit excited!

… now I haven’t finished building it but my tremolo design is breadboarded (it’s a word, honest) and tested. These things are awesome! I’ll hopefully be posting some demonstrations in the not too distant future!

If you’re a builder yourself, I suggest trying one of these things, they also should be great with analog chorus (or maybe echo too, for a cool effect) and phasers.

A tremolo with multiple wave types and tap tempo, with some waveforms being indistinguishable from analog LFO’s I’ve built. It also provides random wave forms and excellent swells.
