Deltablues	Re: Cathode Bias Switching for a Bias Vary Tremolo Amp? Kevin O'Connor was actually the one that pointed out that the mod in question can't be "completely" done if you want to retain your tremolo. "One consideration that is not critical for every player, or on every amp, is whether a tremolo feature is present (and used). If a tremolo is used, then we must not disable the fixed-bias supply completely, as it is tied into the tremolo as a "mute" control. In this case, we simply want to disconnect the bias supply from the output stage when cathode-bias is desired." Chandler: Does your Brown Deluxe tremolo work when you have it in Cathode Bias mode?
