Re: Fender Brownface "Harmonic Vibrato" (6G12A)

SpeedRacer	Re: Fender Brownface "Harmonic Vibrato" (6G12A) FWIW on the slower issue - I found that with higher B+ (I think I went out to a touch over 400Va) I got better range out of the circuit with stock components. A better engineering solution would be just to replace the osc with a function generator (for ex, and XR8038?) and have more range than you'd ever need. But the stock osc is also a bit lopsided and I can't help thinking that's part of the charm.
