Variable modulating 100k resistor for delay.

A delay I am using has a time control, and I was wondering if I could couple the 100k time pot with a resistor that somehow varies at a set rate like vibrato. Anyone ever done this?

You could set up a blinking LED that shines onto a photo resistor. The timing could be controlled by a 555 timer.

ok awesome, could that led also shine for the user to see?

acehobojoe

it just needs to be something that ever so slightly modifies the time control. because too much would sound awful.

I was thinking, just a 555 timer adding a little of resistance to the already potted value.

If it was fast enough the "memory" of the photo resistor would be small enough to add in series to a 100k resistor (or whatever value) to achieve the effect you want.
