SO, I've got a couple of nice trems--a tremulus lune, and a trem built off the Music PCB tap tremolo (I think?). I want to add Brownface style "harmonic tremolo" to my board and I'm seeing it pop up everywhere, but I don't want to add another trem to the board, and I want all the schmancy tricks I get out of these trems. Seeing dminners beautiful harmonic trem build gives me an idea (and the idea ain't buy his, bc I just looked at the bank balance and the bills and nothing of mine on b/s/t is sellling evar, apparently /endwhine).
Would it be possible, do you think, to work out a daughterboard to provide the out-of-phase alternating low freq and high freq amplitude modulation but slave it to the lfo already in one of these trems for a clean "harmonic" mode addition and all the bells and whistles? Or is that wishful thinking? You can tell I ain't that sophisticated circuit-wise (read: not at all beyond bread-boarding some proto-fuzzes) to even be asking this question, this way. Wouldn't it be cool if it worked, though? Maybe some genius has already developed a project I could take a hack at?
Thanks DIYnauts!

Re: Stupid(?) DIY Trem idea
Have you looked at the Jon Patton Cardinal Trem project from 1776? Group buy just closed at Madbean forums for boards for a tap tempo version of the same with documentation that is probably redundant but that might help out if you want to tie it to an existing LFO.
