SF Princeton (NR) Trem Mod Question

[plumcrazyfx]

Sorry for not having pictures, I'm bad at uploading stuff.


I have a mid-to-late 70s SF Princeton (No Reverb).  I'm going through it getting it ready for a sale and noticed a mod that I'm wondering if someone can help me figure out what someone did and why.  In the trem circuit there are a couple resistors (a 220K and a 1M) that tie directly to the oscillator caps (.022, .01, .01).  Someone completely bypassed the 1M resistor with a wire  - so they directly connected the 220K/.022 to the .1 going to the intensity pot and the .022 going to ground.  Why?

stronger tremolo

Makes sense.  I was thinking of cloning it.  Guess I'll include the mod.  I like trem.


Thanks.

I would plan the layout to include that 1M and .02 cap but use a 100K and .01 cap instead.

Just replacing those with your values does effectively the same thing as the wire bypass?
