Craig Anderton Tremolo
To say Craig Anderton's body of work is vast is probably an understatement. But within that body are several DIY classics, and this tremolo is no exception. This is a modified/updated version, specifically in the power section with a +/- 9v charge pump. The vactrol in the original is VTL5C1, but some combination of home rolled LDR/LED combo will probably work (you'll just have to experiment a bit). Schematic here. It'll be snug, but it should fit in a 1590B.
Nice project. Thank you! Just realized this uses 3 inverters form the 4049 and Anterton's Tube Sound Fuzz uses 2. Maybe a fuzz tremolo...
ReplyDeleteIt's a cool idea, but I would try it on breadboard first. Since the 4049 in the trem is being used as the LFO, there might be some LFO leak into the remaining 2 inverters. YMMV
DeleteDavid, There is wrong pins with 4049 Ube. Absolut no the same with that schem...1,2,3,4,5 legs go wrong, 1 have to go 9!I see we can change places 5,4 & 3,2 but 1 have to go 9
ReplyDeleteverified, just connect 1 to 9 lug ube!
