Anyone know where to find a square wave tremolo or vibrato that has an expression control?

Custom Shop MXR tremolo comes in a wah type housing to control speed... IDK where to find one though.

Also, the 4MS Trem Lune can come with an exp input for speed, I think its only an extra 15 bucks or something. The Trem Lune is a GREAT tremolo.

None of those seem to be what I'm looking at buying. Do you have any idea if a schematic exists?

Doesn't the Randy's Revenge ring mod do square wave and have expression input?

That thing is too much. Ideal I'd just get a MF-102 and use that. Way more to do and way less.

There's the Dunlop TVP1:

I have one. They're hard to find, it seems. Info and samples certainly are.

i decided against youtube cuz i can't be bothered to make an account. instead, i made an audio demo and uploaded it to soundcloud.

here it is:

and although I said "sine wave" in the recording, it's actually a triangle wave.

aaaaaaaaaand I just realized that the pedal 'saves' your volume level when you kick in the tremolo... no random volume jumps! that's pretty kickass.
its amazing that i've had this pedal so long and never figured that out until today. :lol:

kinda makes sense tho, since I don't use it much (or at all). all my trem needs are pretty much covered by my amp or occasionally, a stereo pulsar.
