Trem pedal
Hi NYbill
Glad to hear you got the trem pedal working.
It came from ebay. If anyone wants to try and build one just search for.
DIY Tremolo Pedal All Kit With 3PDT Switch and 1590B
I may grab one for myself but first I've got to finish rebuilding my guitar.

No delay
Bill! Thank you so much for closing the loop on this project. You really left us hanging with part 1 of it. Very glad to hear that you got it working.
I'm sorry to report that I ordered a similar kit from China for a digital delay pedal for about $20, and after assembling it, all I got was a loud hum and couldn't even get the case to close right. I don't think I'm cut out for assembling small electronics. The "instructions" were exactly like yours, simply a photocopy of the circuit board without any real instructions.

Hit and Miss
Thanks for cluing us in on the source, Timttmy.
Jon, these things are a trick. I really think some manufacturer orders 10,000+ of these from China, assembled, then brands them all for resale.
The factory making them might as well sell a kit with all the parts and make some money on the side. :P
However, you're left on your own to figure the thing out.
Then again I do like a challenge. It was a fun project.
