not uch interest at the other forum, so maybe someone can help me here?

so i built the colorsound tremolo from andrew carell's layout and i'm not completely pleased...

it sound more like a vibrato to me, at lowest speed, almost like a rotating speaker. is this normal?

i used the 100kA en 250kA pots and only got change in sound in te last portion of the pot, so i replaced both with higher value B pots, but i still only get a difference in speed and intensity when the pots are almost fully open.
where did i go wrong on this one?

this trem is a little different than the regular variety.  It is a bit like a trem and a vibrato combined.  I actually thought it sounded cool.  as far as the pot prob, try tapering resistors.  the secret life of pots article over at GEO will explain how to do it.
