How is it?

You guys are brave, I'm starting my first DIY.....a BYOC tremolo, thought I'd start small.
But I am switching all the resistors from carbon to metal and rewiring the LED to pulse.

I'll try the jfet after a couple more stompboxes.

I love mine, the board is dated 1978. There's more info on them here: http://www.sevenwoodsaudio.com/

The first time wasn't so smooth. I tried to remove the capsule from the top housing, big mistake. And I managed to break the spring clamp, fortunately two halves hold as good as one whole.
