General Guitar Gadget EA Tremolo. (I need more depth controll)

[sevenisthenumber]

I built the ea and love it. The depth knob is VEEEERY subtle. How can i make it more noticeable? I would like to dial in a little more chop sometimes.

Firstly have a look for cold solder joints and solder bridges. It should have quite a big effect....

If that isn't it, try changing the values around the depth pot..

if you made the original one, try reducing the 560k resistor that connects to the depth pot, say to 200k or even less

I will look it over! thanks!

you shold read about the ea trem before building it.. it is not meant for chop tremolo..
anyway, you can gat more depth trying different fets, source resistors and depth pot.

.... and removing the "speed" LED if you included it. I built mine without it, then when I added it I noticed this loss in depth. now I'm back to the 15K no led config.

i did the led that flashes with the tempo. does it affect the depth alot?


dschwartz:
any suggestions on swapping those components? values?
