Re: Anyone build Matchless Hurricane/Tornado Tremolo?

which amp are you putting tremolo in? I just noticed that on the area51 site they say that the bias modulation method may not work well with cathode biased 6V6 amps and that you should convert to fixed bias if you want to use the method. I tried the circuit on a GA30 pre/deluxe power amp that I made...

I also put a switch to lift the grid resistors from ground into the intensity pot so that I could turn the tremolo on and off. You can see the same bias modulation tr...

He was using a hammond PT and concluded that it just did not have enough juice to get the...
