Zeppelin Design Labs Quaverato Harmonic Tremolo with Tap Tempo

This one I built from a kit, but Zeppelin Design Labs also sells this as a completed pedal. If you are into building kits you can save some money and have the satisfaction of building it yourself. Either way this is an outstanding Tremolo pedal with great features. It allows for you to adjust internal DIP switches (and even re-programming) to change the character of the pedal to your specific liking.

DIP switches allow you to modify the frequencies used for the harmonic tremolo to your taste

Quaverato Harmonic Tremolo just completed and tested on my workbench

The kit comes complete with very detailed instructions. I put this together in a few hours and found it quite easy. Although, in a past life I spent years doing bench repair of broadcast audio and video equipment at component level. So I do have a lot of experience, but that was years ago. These days I hardly put up a soldering iron except to maybe fix a patch cord.

I think that anyone that is just a little motivated, has some basic soldering skills, can read and follow the detailed instructions can build this pedal without much trouble. Zeppelin Design Labs does a remarkable job with the parts and instructions to make you highly successful. If you are not into building this pedal, Zeppelin Design Labs sells it already built for a great price. Not too many Tremolo pedals have as many features and Tap tempo. This one will be on my main pedal board for a long time I suspect.
