Title: K. O'Connor Tremolo?
Post by: $uperpuma on March 03, 2007, 04:43:28 PM
I got a semi completed board for a tremolo a while back from a fellow forumite... but I can't remember who.. I got it going last night but I have no idea of the pot values. guessing got some decent sound but it would be better if I had a schematic... I'm guessing its from one of his books... any help?

looks like it's from kevin o'connor's "Tonnes of Tone" book.  it's called a Wide Range Tremolo.  i think the only way you're going to get a schematic is from the book or someone that has it.  $25 was the best price i found: http://www.jklutherie.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=66639 (http://www.jklutherie.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=66639)

how can you not remember who gave it to you?  no PMs about it or anything?

I purge my old PM's if I don't think I'll need them, I have hundreds. I'll probably just hook the board up to the breadboard and start plugging in pot values... it does do a nice wide range of speeds with a  500k speed pot .. I just need to figure out the other pot's best value.
