Upgrading the VHT "WATTS" Circuit
#14
Last night I affixed the VCK inside the amp chassis with velcro tape, and toted it to a rehearsal. Twelve watts is just barely enough to keep up with a drummer and a bass amp taller than the bassist so there was no need to adjust WATTS but the tremolo depth was too weak to be useable for psychedelic garage rock.

When I initially tried to calibrate the VCK, I noticed that the amp was set to HI (420V B+ for 20 watts) instead of the stock setting but I have always preferred this with 6L6GC pair for a more articulate and dynamic guitar sound.

I think this time I'll just try recalibrating it to get the tremolo back to normal if switching to HI doesn't solve the problem for me.
