Danny	Fender Tremelo Mod Has anyon here ever modded the Neon/Photo-resistor type tremelo to the Tremolux style Bias Vary Tremelo???? It looks extremely simple and I would Loose all ticking and gain some gain right?

Lee M.	No one is responding because no one encourages mods on old Fenders.

Danny	i was wondering if anyone had actually done the mod or has an amp with this type of tremelo to see how it sounds....

Danny	I'm sure someone has an amp with this type of tremelo!

Yeah, I have done it. It may give a little more gain. The ticking probably will still be there, but the effect is a bit richer. It is easy to do and is reversable. Use the 6G16 vibroverb schematic as a guide. Or, you can do it like a Princeton does and use the leftover tride to simulate the extra stage a reverb model Fender has. Just copy the circuit with the 3.3M resistor and 10pF cap. (This is the Mark Norwine version of the mod). Supposedly gives more gain.

SpeedRacer	I've done it, and it works great. Do it.
