Hoffman AB763 Tremolo working on both channels??
« on: July 31, 2012, 01:58:41 pm »
Hi guys,

a few months ago i finished retrofitting my DRRI with a Hoffman AB763 from the Airtight Garage. By the way, I added a switched pot in the tremolo 'intensity' to disconnect the tremolo circuit and add some gain when necessary as per the instructions found here: http://www.el34world.com/Forum/index.php?topic=13453

What i noticed while playing yesterday: the tremolo circuit is actually working on both channels. The reverb only works on the second channel. Is this deliberate or have i screwed anything? Thanks a lot!

You are perfectly fine.

The tremolo on the Hoffman-style boards is applied to the output tubes, rather than on the reverb channel only (as in the original blackface amps). Therefore, you will hear the trem on both channels.
