Hoffman AB763 Trem-O-Nator Upgrade

Maybe try a 100KA reverb pot

Using a log taper pot is the best/easiest thing to do. Adding a dwell pot is the next best thing to do to tame the reverb.

> I can barley get to 2 before it goes into some deep caverns.  I am using a 100K linear

What does it do at "10"? Is it just A Whole Lot-t-t-t-t, or does it fall into the bowels of the earth?

If it is just WAY too much, take some gain out of the reverb path.

If the "10=Richard Dale" setting works but you can't get a subtle "air", use a Audio taper so "2" comes out smaller.

When you get a chance make a sound clip that demonstrates the TON at several speed/intensity settings. Maybe that will tease Jeff enough to make him get off the pot.

+1    I'd love to hear a new clip!  Something with intensity cranked up and the speed slowed down.

IF I may make a request,  I'd like to hear something like this.

fwiw
80% of my self imposed build errors have been in the TON circuit, did I catch your bugs 

[sluckey]

Maybe a little CCR too...

I'm holding out for some 'lil wing with tremolo

....maybe a stupid question: 

What can I do with the leftover triode? I wish I could get a bit of crunch out of the amp.....maybe using it as a cold biased stage to add some 2nd harmonic.

Is there a layout for the 2-channel....not so important, but would be nice to have and could save some brain-stretching .

Here's one...

...thanks Sluckey! OK, my amp will have the Reverb as well, but it's nice to add a 3rd stage to the Normal channel :-)

Best regards

Here's a thread where the Trem-O-Nator was added to a Pro Reverb amp...

In reply #4 you will find the original Fender schematic/layout showing exactly how the mod was done.

Or maybe you prefer the Hoffman style layout... You can use the Hoffman board to build this. Turret layout is exactly the same. See attached...

Dear Sluckey,


thanks a lot! I got a set of boards from Mr. Hoffman already, so I have a plan now 

Best regards from Germany!
