Hi!
I've been trying to build a tremolo I found a schematic for.
**broken link removed**
When I power it up I get a pulsing LED, although fairly faintly, but the output audio is terrible. Almost as if the signal is too strong, It's pretty much only the lower tone strings that get me some sound. Higher tone gets me a click here and there.
The schematic says it should be trimmed to 4.5 - 5v. I can only get 1.26 - 2.55v. Maybe I'm doing it wrong. I've used a 2N3904 instead of the 2N5088 and a 220k pot instead of the 250k.
I'm guessing this might have something to with it. But I have no idea.
Maybe someone knows where I'm going wrong?
I can post pictures of my rather chaotic breadboard if it will help.
