For your humor. Here is a few pictures of a scrap box tremolo.

I started with a roller and flywheels from an old treadmill.

Removed the flywheels and cut down the roller.

Cut a Tee slot and pressed back together.

Some bits of scrap wood, a pile of hot glue, a little string, two 1/4" jacks, a mini 250K pot, and a cap out of the bin.

No duct tape?

Crazy build! Sound clips would be cool!

:cool: It even works. Give the wheel a kick and it will spin for 8-12 cycles. It automatically slows down and tapers off, and it will adjust to come to a stop at full volume. The stroke is adjustable to give a mild effect or a near full stop to stop turn of the pot.

Speaking of pot, no, I am not a user :smile:

I forgot the duct tape:oops:

I'll see if I can get some sound clips in the next few days.
