Quite happy with it as a LFO for a tremolo unit. A good smooth volume control with the MC3340 VCA Top left is a very old guitar tremolo as you can tell by the germanium transistors. Classic oscillator that works just as well with newer npn, but square wave output though Top right is an old one that uses a light bulb. OK, but chews through the power and works by brute force - shorts the input to ground through the pot Bottom right is the Wein bridge using an RA53, which had got expensive the last time I looked -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
