The pink part is an inverter. The rest is obvious: duplicated variable-gain stages.

There are MUCH more elegant ways to do stereo-trem, but this is what the thread-topic wanted to use.

Maybe a "long shot" but I'll try anyway !

PRR, can you link to one or more of these "more elegant ways" - I need such a circuit build into my guitar too ;-))

Pretty sure the absolute simplest way would be that you can Just feed the depth pot output to a p channel FET for the second side. It'll oscillate backwards from the n channel. You'd have to match them but it's an ac signal coming out of the oscillator so it should work with either type of FET.

Rod Elliott's project 21, http://sound.whsites.net/project21.htm, has some ideas on stereo mixing that might be useful. I saw Jean Luc Ponty play his fiddle through a Mu-Tron Bi-Phase which got really boring after the first few seconds because it was a uniform sweep with one side inverted, despite the brilliance of the music. Varying the sweep speed into two channels and possibly mixing a bit of each side to the other yields cancellations that contribute to the shimmer, imo. The room will have a lot to do with it.

Please, llet's see a link to these "MUCH more elegant ways to do stereo-trem" - I'm very interested !
