Wiggler & SHOclone strange behavior

[Stratomaster]

Hello,
   Whenever I use my Wiggler with an SHO clone I built (subbing in a JFET for the MOSFET) I get very bad crossover distortion.  This has only started  happening recently, as it was fine and heavenly before.  My money is on the problem being with the SHO clone.  Could the JFET be going bad on it?  Thanks.

My wiggler does that on the ac30 setting.  It sounds quite bad if you listen close.  It's a bummer.  Be careful if you open yours up, it transforms the 12vAC to about 80v if I remember right.

Does yours have bleed through from the LFO on the output?  On mine the LFO signal is showing up in the audio, sounds like this subby sine wave tone.

The problem ended up being a bad transistor in the booster.  I swapped it out and all is well.  (It was causing some funkyness with my distortion box that I had just chalked up to ratty preamp tubes that got fixed as a by-product.  Rock on!)

My Wiggler is just fine now that this has been fixed.  It's weird that it made the problem so much worse though.  \

About the distortion you get on the Acey setting, puretube responded a while back to one of my questions about the Wiggler about how to get rid of that distortion.  He basically lowers the gain with a resistor change.  That may be just what you need to get rid of that.  It worked great for me.

Recently, I found a mod on the webz from a certain station,
who wired a 100 Ohm resistor from lug1 to lug2 of the (1k) RATE-pot,
to get a more evenly spread range of lower speeds from the LFO,
which seems to fit better to his needs...
