A tremolo effect in the spirit of old Magnatone amplifiers. This produces a subtle tremolo effect that has a nice wobbly tail.

This is a very warm and natural sounding tube tremolo/overdrive. With vol, gain, speed and depth controls you can get a variety of sounds out of one box. When depth is set to zero you can use it as a normal booster/overdrive pedal with vol&gain controls. Turn depth clockwise to add some smooth tremolo and turn gain a bit down to clean it up. Or just leave the gain up there since tremolo + overdrive sounds very good :) Speed controls the rate of tremolo (flapping of wings).

This is a common problem with older Boss TR-2 pedals. There is a volume drop when effect is engaged. If you replace resistor R9 with a 10k trimpot you can adjust the volume to your taste. Nice and simple! Get your tremolo from here -> Boss TR-2 @ Amazon
Lately I’ve tackled some challenging projects. Fitting a tube tremolo and modded mxr phase 90 clone into a 1590BB-size hammond box proved to be challenging indeed! But results are great and this little red box deserves it’s name! Tube part is based on modded Matsumin Valvecaster tube booster/overdrive with added phase shift oscillator (designed by Rick Holt) to make the tremolo effect happen. Nice and warm vintage sound! Phaser is a good old mxr phase 90 -type circuit with added depth control to mellow/deepen it if needed. Mode-switch selects between phaser and tremolo and Engage-switch bypasses the whole pedal.
