5 from 5 Another awesome kit.

First off, the pedal sounds amazing. It is extremely versatile, being able to dial in a huge range of different sounds.

The build for this was relatively simple. The board was a very easy build as it doesnt have a huge amount of components. I did struggle a bit with wiring up all the pots back to the board, there is a lot of wires and as I am very pedantic with neatness it took me quite to get it how I wanted it.

Another great pedal kit from musikding with nothing to fault. Highly recommend it.

5 from 5 Très bon Kit

Très bon kit qui fait bien ce quon attend, juste un détail après montage je trouvais que la pédale atténuait le signal, javais le son qui baissait lorsque jenclenchais la pédale même avec un réglage au maxi de R4 (Gain), jai changé la valeur de la résistance R2 par une 15K, maintenant un réglage de R4 au milieu correspond à un gain unitaire (même niveau entre pédale activée ou non).

Very good kit, do exactly what expected. Just on detail I found that the pedal volume was lower when the pedal was on even with R4 at maximum value, I changed the R2 value by a 15K, now when R4 is at the middle the gain is 1 (same guitar level when the pedal is ON or OFF)

5 from 5 Super Tremolo !

Très beau Trémolo, précis et riches en réglages ! On appréciera le potard interne pour le réglage volume... Petit bémol, malgré le boitier commandé déjà percé il faut jouer des coudes pour tout rentrer dedans... Je vous conseil de commander la led arc en ciel qui réagit selon la vitesse du trémolo, magique :)

5 from 5 funny and versatile

I had a broken wah wah pedal, so I decided to use the chassis of the wah as a expression pedal for the tremolo effect.
To reduce the space I mounted the effect directly in the wah chassis. The effect is really fine, and pretty versatile, and even more funny with the expression pedal.

5 from 5 Vraiment super

reçu 4 jours aprés la commande, monté en une aprés midi ( agencement et perçage inclus ), ce kit est excellent: simple et efficace.
Jadore le tremolo et cest là ma première pédale du genre. Je crois que jamais je naurai besoin dune autre!
le son est denfer, la flexibilité est là aussi grâce aux 5 paramètres de réglage... tout est dit. On ne paie là que lessentiel et ça les vaut indiscutablement.

Merci musikding!

4 from 5 Recommended.

In English
The PCB is made in a very professional way, on the board you have to mount many components and make the connections of the potentiometers is not easy.
I would rather mount the potentiometers directly on the PCB.
Not recommended for those people with little experience
The sound is very nice, and I recommend to realize it because you can pull off very sound alternative.

Recommended.

In ItalianIl PCB è realizzato in modo molto professionale, sulla scheda si devono montare molti componenti e realizzare i collegamenti dei potenziometri non è semplice.
Avrei preferito montare i potenziometri direttamente sul PCB.
Sconsigliato a tutti quelle persone con poca esperienza
Il suono è molto bello, e consiglio di realizzarlo perche si possono tirare fuori suono molto alternativi.

Consigliato

5 from 5 Great kit !!!

Everything is really well packed, only the 25k pot was missing, but a priority mail and 2 days after I noticed it, the gap was filled.

The undrilled enclosure is perfect, almost ready to be painted, you can choose the geometry of your pedal and that is great. then the PCB is a really well manufacterd and the composants are marked, impossible to be wrong !

Really easy to solder and the sound is what I was looking for. Just have to set the output level of the pedal with the adjustable 25k trim pot and you are ready. A slight sound of start/stop appears when turning the P5 to the min or max; but I guess that is normal due to important cutoff in this configuration.

Thank you very much Das Muzikding, go on !!

5 from 5 great sound

This tremolo sounds great.
I Just had trouble with to fit correctly the optocoupleur nsl 32 delivered in the kit. The cathode off the Led is marked with a colored dot on it. I set it in the wrong side and no sound was outing of when tremolo was on.
With colored dot on - everything works fine.

5 from 5 the ultimate tremolo

this tremolo is amazing, and much smaller than my old electro harmonix! it even fits in a small B enclosure. to reach the wide range of time setting of the electro harmonix, i added a simple switch to select between two different capacitor values, and now it can go from helicopter to super slow. all the knobs make it really polyvalent, no need for an another one!

5 from 5 Ottimo kit

Di facile costruzione, suono perfettamente modulabile, senza i vari difetti di tanti effetti tremolo sia in kit che commerciali (ombra di ondulazione anche in bypass, ecc.).
Molto comodo il controllo di volume, eventualmente trasferibile come potenziometro esterno, mediante due cavetti.
