  • Page 3 The build consists of 2 boards that were designed to fit in a BB enclosure with top mounted open jacks. PCB1 holds the pcb mounted pots and rotary switch. PCB2 holds the main circuit.
  • Page 4 The 2 boards are connected together like this:...
  • Page 5 The pots best suited are Alpha 16mm Right-angle PCB mount Pots: And one mini rotary 2P4T switch like these: They can be ordered in batches from different places like: http://www.befr.ebay.be/itm/300881322642 http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free-Shipping-20-x-Plastic- Band-Switch-2P4T-Rotary-Switch/996781872.html Of course you can use other parts and not mount them on the PCB. Then you will probably need a bigger enclosure.

  • Page 8 Here are the steps I would recommend to assemble the boards: 1) Populate the boards with all parts, starting with the smallest to the tallest. Solder in the pots and rotary switch last. Notes:  Use sockets for the IC’s, at least for the TAPLFO ...
  • Page 9 2) When you have finished populating the boards, solder all needed outboard wires (not the ones connecting the 2 boards together) already in place leaving enough length to connect to their destination later on. 3) Fit the 2 boards back to back with a piece of cardboard or other insulator between them. Don’t use anything too thick but also not too thin that component leads could poke through and cause a short.
  • Page 10 Controls: Rotating from CCW to CW, the rotary switch selects the tremolo modes:  Bass and treble modulated in phase (normal tremolo)  Bass and treble modulated out of phase (Harmonic tremolo)  Bass modulation only, with fix treble  Treble modulation only, with fix bass Pots: ...
