So I seem to have made a tremelo pedal where you set the timing of the modulation by two presses on a tap tempo footswitch. Bearing in mind that most people tap '4's in time with music, is it OK doing it like that - when you have a '1 times' and '4 times' button as well? (ie on '4 times' you get four wobbles to each press). That way you could get a '16s' effect when playing along to a drummer...
Would you really miss a 'speed' knob?
(BTW You can reset the speed by holding the tap button for 1 second...)
Also, if it did only sawtooth wave forms (ramp up and ramp down) but the depth, and the 'mark/space' ratio were adjustable (sound to no-sound ratio) that'd be OK, yes? After all, my Twin Reverb (sawtooth, ramp up) just has 'speed' and 'depth' controls, and muddles by OK somehow...
I'm re-doing the Minor Concussion pedal, and realise there's a whole other side to it... Though there are some limitations.
Whaddyathink?

As far as trem pedals go, I like choppy (as in, on-off-on stuff), as well as softer stuff (a la amp style). Anything extra is good, but I'd mostly use the hard square wave setting. It's not used much in metal, but a simply melody turns into an out and out ripping solo sound with that and modulated delay.
However, kudos for being different. I like the subdivisions thing - I think 1 and 1/4 is limited, a triplet one as well would really complete the package.
It's going to be weird, different - and limited from a tremelo perspective - but make sounds you can't get anywhere else.
Will also work from a bass drum mic, or 'CV in' and have a 10 LED pulse meter on the top.
This is the side-chaining bit...

Will check out Memory Boy Deluxe and Diamond Tremelo.
What does 'hard tremelo' mean?
