The topic pretty much speaks for it self. How to do the tremolo mod for the tonepad small clone?

Thanks

Belive me I allready search alot.

The reason I ask is because I have no idea where you put the 1K pot/resistor. My small clone is the tonepad one, so it doesn't look anything like yours.

Right...  I believe it will work if you wire from pin 1 of the LM358 and pin 5 of the 4558 you should be set.  It doesn't matter which side has the resistor.  TO use a pot instead, substitute the switch for a 5k pot.

Im gonna do the speed mod allso so I was thinking about what the new pot controls? And how should that be installed?

THanks for all your help and fast answers

If you put the 5k pot there, then you can null out the thumping that gets worse when it gets faster.

If I just install a SPST toggle switch. And the speed mod is done. Do I then need the 1K pot you mention in the toturial you have made?

Yep.

Okay but this new pot(1K) will this control the same as the 5K would?
And does it matter how that pot is wired ie on to lug 3 and another wire to the wiper?

Thanks

Basically yeah... except I don't think you can null the tremolo all the way with the 1k at higher speeds, I can't remember.

Wire it as a variable resistor-just like you said, except it doesn't matter which lug is lug 3.  Pick based on which way you want th eknob to turn on the finished product.

Okay thanks alot for all your answers.  
You have been to alot of help. So I just wanna thank you.

And I will look at the feedback loop tomorrow, andthen wright you back in that thread.
But I have a question for you on that subjet, which feedback looper/TB box would you advise me to build? Im gonna try a new one. Just the one in the tutorial thread?

thanks

No problem at all, I hope it works out, it's a cool mod (just did one).  I recommend the feedback loop diagram posted right under the tutorial...  that one uses the cheapest parts and has lots of options.
