Re: Josh's 18W Tremolo TMB Builds
The jacks I use come with isolation washers:
I'll try them out on my next build and see if it makes a perceivable difference on this circuit.

For you? Nah. But for anybody else that wants to use my PCBs, here's the mounting holes.

Re: Josh's 18W Tremolo TMB Builds
I finally got around to recording a demo of the 36W version with the PCB, and Mercury Magnetics transformers: https://youtu.be/L0p04n1pSio
Or here's the shorter instagram version: https://www.instagram.com/p/CQRGsyjgwzu/
The demo also includes the "2020 Special" JoshuWah pedal series.
Thanks,
Josh

Re: Josh's 18W Tremolo TMB Builds
Board 1 is done. I'll do board 2 tomorrow, then clean them up and take some real photos.
Though I do find the dramatic lighting on this cellphone pic pretty funny.

Re: Josh's 18W Tremolo TMB Builds
Here's both amps complete:
They both sound awesome, I'll be recording some demos soon enough. Both have switches on the front to mute the tremolo, and also to change the tremolo speed range. Inserting the footswitch disables the front mute switch.
I also used these photos to create a build guide that I will share after I get some feedback on it.
Thanks,
Josh

Re: Josh's 18W Tremolo TMB Builds
Haha, sort of...mayyyybe already sold? A local / talented musician bought my 18W Trem TMB Reverb combo that I previously shared, and wants at least another combo, maybe also the head. So we'll see if he grabs them before somebody else or not. I can probably make more.
BTW- did you get my email? I sent you and a couple other members the build doc to review.
Thanks,
Josh

Re: Josh's 18W Tremolo TMB Builds
I just saw it. I was on holiday on Tenerife (canary islands.. nice!)
I will read and look at it thouroughly and report back. Thanks for considering my opinions!
That local talented musician.. is that the dude with the 3 pickup LP? He was surely playing it!

Re: Josh's 18W Tremolo TMB Builds
Hahaha, no. The guy playing the LP is a friend of mine that lives in Ohio, maybe 800 miles away? His guitar was the blue ASAT (and a couple others he brought over for new tuners/setups). The guy that owns the LP...is not quite as skilled. The good local(ish) guy is supposed to record a song with the TremTMBR, I'll share the link when he does. He has a great sound, singer/songwriter kinda thing.

Re: Josh's 18W Tremolo TMB Builds
Well, that blows. I just recorded 2 video demos for the 2 new amps, with an awesome boutique guitar. No audio recorded though. Whooooooooooooooops. I guess at least the playing looks cool? ![π€·ββοΈ](//cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/twitter/twemoji@latest/assets/svg/1f937-200d-2642-fe0f.svg)
