Runoffgroove’s Tri-Vibe – a very usable vibrato effect
Overview
All credit for the circuit goes to http://runoffgroove.com. You will also find a lot of sound samples and documentation
on their website.
General
This is my attempt on an easy-to-use PCB for this great sounding Vibrato circuit.
This is a great example how switching a parameter can strongly enhance the usability of an effect.
The SWIRL switch enhances the tonal possibilities of this Vibrato and offers different sounds from just one effect.

Building
There are a lot of components on a relatively small space. Take your time and everything will work out well.
Start populating the diodes and resistors first. Then put the IC sockets in next. Last are ceramic and film box
capacitors, then the electrolytic.
The board mounted pots need to go onto the other side of the board. Use
some (double-sided) tape to make sure the pot cases do not shorten any
pins that come through the board. As you solder them it is good practice to
apply some solder to the middle pin first, then pull it back approx. 1mm and
let it harden. Then solder the other pins. This will align the pot horizontally
in a better way and avoid shortcuts of the wide pot pins and the board.
Don’t forget to clip of the small bracket before you mount the circuit.
The short pin of the speed LED goes through the round hole.
