- This pedal haven't slow rate like original vox percussion tremolo. (It is possible to decrease rate in home? I have some pedal-effects master in my city, in what part of shematic we must do some changes, or maybe replace some transistors?)

It's not really a straight clone of the vox repeat percussion, sorry if that's what you thought you were getting. There are plenty of people who do straight clones. However, it's pretty easy to change the speed by swapping a single resistor. If you email me a photo of your hummingbirds PCB I can circle the resistor to switch.

- Problem with overlapping in mode "1" -the highest rate is to slow and not enough for the so slowest rate in "2" mode!! It's BAD!!

There isn't actually a problem here, it's how the pedal works. Perhaps it's not for you? Unless it's not chopping at all, it's not bad.

- The light (on/off) don't blinking synchronised with rate. It's possible to upgrade it in home? maybe some add in shematic? THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING!


No, there is no way to do this with this circuit. I've tried every possible way and it results in a dim LED or no sound and a blinking LED.
