What does "affordable" mean? Usually it's not synonymous with "good."

That circuit is not exactly a simple design. The Tremolo TMB is a single channel 18W tremolo circuit, but it's not really a beginner build. The reverb version is more complex.

Maybe Bieworm will sell you one of his?

Thanks,
Josh

Lol! I will build another one when one wants to have one. But how low budget is low budget? And where does OP live?

depends on the materials cost and how much you take for your work , the amp has two sections , power amp based on the fender musicmaster bass amp , using GDS set transformers 18w , pair el84 , interstage transformer phase inverter drived by 6SN7 dual triode with two inputs , and the tremolo section is individual harmonic tremolo 6G4 , one input , one output , so make your calculation on material with cab and without cab , how much would it cost

Ok. That's way beyond my abilities. You need a very experienced amp builder. Those vibrato's are a pretty nasty build.
