I wish I knew how to do that ... :P
Here's my favorite one tube tremolo. Includes sound demos from some TAG members...

That is very cool, and sounds good! Thanks. Any idea if the speed demo'd is anywhere near minimum speed? I like it sloooooow.
Just plug it in, man.

My solution (to disconnect the heater of the unused section) offers improved economy, due to eliminating the unnecessary consumption of electricity and valve life :D

I wish I could see the duck fly away... :?

No way I can build a one triode tremolo along the lines of Sluckey's one, without the 3M3 a-log pot?
(it's for an AC4 style build)

Make the 3 caps bigger (eg 47nF) and use a 1M audio pot wired backwards, ie so slowest speed and highest resistance is at CW.
