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

Re: Tremolo schematic
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.
