MAKE contributing editor Charles Platt proposed a "Hypothetical Tremolo Wheel" in his article about online DIY guitar stomp-box communities (MAKE Volume 15, page 82, "Stomp Box Basics: Tremolo and Fuzz").

Well, it's hypothetical no more. [MAKE] took Charles' cue and built this Optical Tremolo Box, which reads a patterned disk with a light sensor to create a warbling volume effect (tremolo) that you can custom-program with any pattern you like.
