Built this one with no problems at all!

This is an absolutely beautiful sounding trem circuit with two problems as it’s presented here that are easily fixed: with a B10K pot for volume the control is all but useless, unity gain is like 2/10 and the taper is all screwed up. Same with the rate pot, the whole sweep of the pot is all bunched up at the end with the B100K that’s called for here. The first 75% of the rate knob does almost nothing, then BAM it sweeps through the whole gamut of speed right at the end. Very fiddly and annoying in a live setting.
Swapping the B10K volume pot for an A10K completely fixes the volume problem, and a C100K instead of the B100K for rate fixes the rate problem. A100K (log) makes the rate problem even worse, but C100K (anti-log) fixes it completely.
With those two simple fixes all 4 knobs have lovely, smooth tapers from start to finish. I’d rate this build lower due to those issues, but the circuit sounds so damn good with the right pots, I’d put this up against trem pedals I’ve paid hundreds for. Absolutely killer.
