KNIGHT SCHOOL TREM - DIY KIT
Have you always dreamed of building your own fully analog multi-wave tremolo? We have just what you need! Our Knight School Trem kit gives you everything you need to build a fully customizable tremolo pedal that goes way beyond the norm. With two different modes and a Warp knob for the waveform, you can choose between two types of sawtooth waves, a triangle wave, and a square wave with adjustable pulse width, with a simple flick of the finger and a turn of the knob. Tired of tremolo pedals that are too fast or too slow? The Knight School Trem gives you the best of both worlds with a wide-range modulator that will satisfy all your needs. Add to that an adjustable depth control and you get a very complete tremolo that does exactly what you want, and that you built with your own hands! While most guitarists know the word “transistor” as the fundamental component of amplifier effects pedals, these have several other functions depending on how they are used. transistor" as the fundamental component of amplifier effects pedals, they have several other functions depending on how they are wired. One of these functions is that of a switch. When voltage is applied to the base pin of a transistor, it “opens” the switch, i.e., it connects the other two pins together. This is how Boss and Ibanez bypass switching works, in a nutshell. But what would happen if the input signal of a pedal were connected to the collector of a transistor and the emitter of the transistor were connected to ground? When voltage is applied to the base of the transistor, the signal is discharged to ground. When the voltage is cut off, the signal passes through. What if you found a way to send a rhythmic positive voltage to the base of this transistor? This would modulate the signal rhythmically. Oh oh, that sounds like a tremolo! Of course, there are many ways to achieve this effect, but this one is best suited for DIY. The most rudimentary form of this effect was first developed by Jordan Electronics with its Vico Vibe plug-in unit, which does exactly what I just described, but the LFO speed range isn't very interesting and only offers a single waveform. BO-RING! Our Knight School Trem offers you SIX distinct waveforms, a wide speed control range, depth control, and an LED frequency indicator LED indicator that mimics the selected waveform, all in an easy-to-build, fully analog enclosure. Let's go!
Features:
- Rate: amplitude modulation frequency.
- Shape Switch: allows you to switch between Tri/Saw mode and Sq/Pulse mode. Then adjust with the Warp knob.
- Warp: distorts the waveform according to its setting. In Tri/Saw mode, the Warp knob at the bottom corresponds to a sawtooth wave or ramp-up, while at the top it corresponds to an inverted sawtooth wave or ramp-down. ramp-down,“ and 12:00 corresponds to a traditional triangle wave. When you sweep this knob in ”Tri/Saw" mode, it may sound like the tempo is changing, but this is not the case; the peaks of the waveform are simply at different positions. In “Sq/Pulse” mode, the Warp knob fully raised reduces the “activation time” of the square wave, producing tiny sound pulses separated by long pauses. When fully depressed, the opposite occurs: the off time is reduced, resulting in small bursts of silence between long periods of activation. In the middle position, the activation and pause times are identical, resulting in a traditional square wave. Information about the DIY kit The printed circuit board has markings indicating the location of each component. The image below will help you identify the different components. You will also find a video below that shows you how to proceed.
