Just got the byoc tremolo together that I bought back in 2007! It works. Wondering if anyone knows of a mod to make it slower. Thanks. It’s version 2.2

I believe this can be done by changing the value of a couple of the caps, but I don't know the specifics. But I'm betting someone who does will stop by shortly....

You can replace the .68uF caps with something larger. The current Rev3 trem uses 1uF caps.

Thanks very much for replying - I will absolutely try this. Could I use ceramic or electrolytic for this application? Thanks again

I've always seen it done with film caps (like THESE) but I'd think you could use ceramics or electrolytics. Keep in mind that most electrolytics are polarized, so the negative side would need to go toward ground in the circuit.
