Kay tremolo clone - pushing the LFO into higher frequencies

First off hi, I am new here  ;D

I've been building stuff on and off for around 15 years or so, recently got into it a little bit again when I realized there are a ton of quick, easy to build circuits floating around on the web.

On to my question...

I recently built the Kay Tremolo clone from the schematic at GGG. I was wondering if there was a way to get the oscillator that controls the tremolo speed to go up into higher frequencies in order to produce more of a ring-modulation style effect in addition to the cool/weird tremolo that this thing does.

I tried some experiments with resistor values, and also looked up twin T oscillator designs to see if I could see what combination of resistors and caps were used to get higher frequencies,  but couldn't get anything to work by substitution of single components.

Any ideas?

Maybe reduce all the capacitors to the left of the leftmost transistor (GGG schematic) by a factor of 2 to 10.
