We left no stone unturned." - Eddie Van Halen

The Trill - Tremolo Pedal Kit by modkitsdiy.com

http://bit.ly/pVJkuN

The Trill tremolo pedal offers classic tremolo tones in an easy to build kit.

The Trill’s speed knob provides a wide range from a very slow to rapid fire effect. The depth knob varies the ratio between effected and dry signal. Using modern, low noise transistors makes operation of The Trill quiet with no signal drop when engaged. The modkitsdiy Trill guitar pedal uses true bypass foot switching so it is out of the signal path when not engaged.

MOD Kits are designed to give novice and experienced guitarists the opportunity to build their own amps and effects pedals. All kits come with clear and easy to follow well illustrated drawings, easy to follow instructions and use point-to-point wiring. A pre-drilled enclosure and all parts are included. All you need to provide are hand tools, a soldering iron and solder. The effect pedals operate on 9V batteries which are not included.
