Stand alone vibrato
« on: June 02, 2010, 11:54:13 am »
I have a lot of extra small trannies laying around, and am interested in building a tube vibrato. A stand alone unit would be nice.
I don't need the reverb. Has anyone built something like this ?

A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!

I also found this one that is a bit more legible.
