Let me know how it goes. Didn't you say you intend on adding an expression jack to it?

LFOs with triangle and square waveforms are super simple. It's the same LFO, you just tap it at a different place. From what I've seen, you can make a sine wave by clipping the waveform with diodes, and sawtooth/ramp by using one diode on the triangle wave.

Then, for a tremolo, I'd think you could just connect the LFO in place of the LFO in any tremolo circuit. They tend to be pretty simple (but some aren't).

I'm sorta over-simplifying, and I don't know all this stuff. It's just from some research I did when I was gonna make a flanger with the Ibanez PM-7's LFO.

Took a damn long time, but here are those gut shots: http://www.flickr.com/photos/the_chase/sets/72157623099459311/
I'd post them here in this thread but there are ten photos and that'd be a pain in the ass.
