a video of my boss tr-1 tremolo pedal that has been modded so that a volume swell pedal controls the rate.

Can you tell me your trem settings?

@JStephens320

Yup, wave set full clockwise and depth all the way up

Can you tell me how to connect the tromolo to the expression/volume peal?

thanks

@ChrisPlugged Actually its more of a mechanical mod than an electrical one. If you open up the tr-1 the pots for "speed" "depth" and "rate" are soldered right to the board. So if you de-solder the pot from the board you can mount it right inside the volume pedal so that the pedal turns the poat back and forth. Then connect it back to the tr-1 by soldering a balanced (three wire) cable from the three prongs of the pot to the three holes on the circuit board.

all i really did was move the pot into the volume pedal via a cable, so i would think it would work the same on any tremolo.

man what a big foot

[ibanezman007]

So in theory, you could do the same for any unit, as long as it's a rotary knob.........Maybe even an amplifier.........Thanks for the ideas!

[dude4good]

Do you have pictures of the inside of the pedal? Or a how-to-do??? Cheeers
