jon	Re: Harmonic Tremolo in a pedal? Hi Scott, One further suggestion for layout: don't mount anything permanently at first (velcro?) or plan on trashing your first few enclosures (it took me a long time to work out a general layout scheme that works reasonably well) with tons of holes till you find the best orientation for components to minimize hum, oscillation, etc. I dry-fit everything at first (can't draw anything to scale).) The good news is that tube effects when done right tend to enhance "tube feel". I even like my solid state amps better with them... cya, Jon
