Pulsor Tremolo

This was the second pedal that I made. It's based on a vintage (and rare!) ElectroHarmonix Pulsar Tremolo, it's got Rate (Blue) and Depth (Brown) knobs, and a "chop" switch (center) - it changes from a subtle tremolo to a "helicopter" type effect that moves from fully on to fully off.

Check out the rest of the pictures here.

It's a great sounding pedal! I get the enclosures pre-drilled, but this one I had to drill the hole for the mode switch in the middle. It was actually quite easy.

The build went pretty well - I learned from my mistake of grounding out the volume pot of my first build by insulating the pots from the enclosure (with post it notes- they're pretty thick!). However, I did manage to put the Op-Amp in the socket backwards. That took a little bit to figure out, but after burning my finger on the chip (which is not usually a good sign) I put a new one in and it worked like a charm!

Here is a New Sound Sample, recorded using Chris' Custom Pulsor, running directly to protoolsLE and using AmplitubeLE as a cab simulator:
