Awesome. I was just telling someone I love tremolo effects in my sound.

Interesting that this one has just a hint of the shift that makes it a true vibrato -- much less than the Maggie or other vibe pedals but enough to give a different color to the tone compared to a normal trem.

Thanks for sharing.

Well now you just burst my bubble. :cry: :wink: Anyway i am dieing to try one of these. I have an empty enclosure and tubes just waiting on the time to give it a go. I appreciate you posting these. I have been fascinated with the old Magnatone Vibrato and I have seen a few takes on using the LDRs to replace the unobtainable copper varistors. But your version with the sub minis is just icing on the cake. :D Too cool!!!
