Temple Tone, for Everything Everything

Another commission! Hot on the heels of Dutch Uncles, another friendly local band asked me to make a tremolo as a suprise birthday present for their guitarist.The band is question is Everything Everyhing who really are out there making some highly interesting and eclectic music and Im proud to say they are from Manchester. There debut album Man Alive is really great, check them out: Everything Everything


Anyway, a tremolo you say.
What better to base it on than the evergreen Tremulus Lune!?

I used one of the vero's floating around on the net and added the modifications (fine rate control and waveshape symmetry). This was one hell of a build.

Here are the guts:


The graphics were the guys choice:


This thing sounds soooo good really I dont say that cos I made it. The options offered by the controls are vast and comprehensive. The symmetry to vary the waveshape from sine like this \/\/\/\/\/ to ramping like either this l\l\l\l\l\l\l or l/l/l/l/l/l/l/ is awesome.

Looking forward to working with more local bands as and when.
For the future ive decided to invest in some PCBs

From MadBean I purchased some zvex boards (MAchine, 2 in 1, Fuxx Factory) a CE-2 called the pork barrel and a BJFe Honey Bee.
From Guitar PCB I have custom ordered Lovetone Ring Stinger workalike called the String Ringer, the EA tremolo (though I reckon itll suck compared to the Lune) the MIA Crunch Box and a couple of MAgnus Modulus. Ill be building forever!

Over and out.
