SpeedRacer | Re: brown trem (was Re: Fender brownface tonestack) Very astute observation! This bugged me as well.. I was trying to get more signal through the effect and bump up the S/N ratio and this was an obvious place to go. Thing is, that mixer being biased into a non-linear range is the *key* to the effect. Put a R sub box in there and watch the magic fade away as you go back to 820-ohms. It's dramatic. I have thought about replacing the osc with something SS.. maybe even a function generator with various waveforms etc. Could be fun, just never got round to it. CTS can still make the 10M-RA pots if you could get enough interest in building them.. otherwise a rotary switch would work (maybe inconjunction with a regular 3.5M-RA pot?) |
