KAY TREMOLO SPEED?

[Arn C.]

How can I increase the speed of the Kay Tremolo?   It goes from super slow and slow through most of the range and towards the end of the pot rotation it does increase but not super fast.  I just need a bit more speed from it?  Any suggestions?  I made the one with the depth mod.....

Thanks!

"speed" seems to me to be set by the two 4.7uf caps ? before the speed
pot.
Try 2 x 2.2uf and that should double it, but also double the "minimum"
as well ??
I hope I'm correct about this ....  :oops:

I am curious too,
I have one I boxed up a couple years ago.. but i need the trem to go slower. i will mess around with it a bit if i can find the time tonight.

I notice that the speed control in that circuit is a 1K. If you find that the control of speed "bunches" at the high end, you might want to try a 1K Reverse Audio ("C" Taper) control. I had these made for the Fuzz Face, but they might be useful here as well.
