Hi All, I'm new to this forum and fairly new to building pedals, but not a complete novice. I want to buy a tap tempo tremolo pedal, but they all seem fairly expensive, so I was wondering if it was possible to do a tap tremolo mod on the BYOC tremolo?

If i'm reading it right and maybe someone could correct or confirm. It looks like you would need a chip that could drive changing the resistance at vr2, best option would be one that could bypass so you could use the rate knob and tap tempo at the same time.

It's not going to be particularly cheap or easy. The control voltage from the tap tempo chip will bleed into the audio without filtering, so it's a lot of extra circuitry.

Church the electric druid site for the chip you need. Small bear sells it (it's $10).

MusicPCB sells a tao tempo tremolo project that's very similar to most boutique projects. It was my first fully complete working build. kind of expensive overall still .. About $70.

I agree, seems like good options though. Still a lot cheaper than a boutique tap tempo

Thanks everyone! I have to look through it and see if I have the skills for something like this. I'm still learning circuits: I'm good with recipes, but putting something together from scratch is still a stretch for me.
