My swamp trem thing

Sorry about the horrible playing.
Built in on univox 305r
s very loosely based on a princeton reverb. Has 7591 outputs at about 480 on the plates using fender HRD OT at 16ohms for a 8k4 load and a vintage PT thats pretty stout for a pair of 7591s not sure what ots rated but its way bigger than the original univix PT.the trem is pretty much from the univox and its hooked to a bridged T notch filter. Haven't measured wattage but it's way way louder than my 5e3.
It's mostly the trem circuit from the attached univox schematic
Hooked to this. "In" is from the first stage coupling cap. Then out from the volume to the next stage grid

Thanks buddy, You could tell what song i was tryin to play. so i consider that a success. I can do better but once i hit that record button i forger to breathe. I totally forgot what i was gonna play on the faster setting and i could have turned the intenisity dowm quite a bit I think.

That thing sounds great!! It is extra phasey. I'd like to see what it is. :)

That sounds good. Lot more going on besides just amplitude modulated tremolo effect. Did you build this? Can you share the schematic?

Thanks guys, It means alot coming from such astute builders
don't have a schematic. I'll tell you more about it after I get off work. Please don't be too critical I know the hamsa mess but I've built about nine different amps in here with the same hearts and wires so there's burnt insulation and more I know it's pretty bad

after i drew that crude schematic i got to thinking maybe some offset cap values might give a little more warble. More univibe like
