I've got my chassis cut for my next build. I can still pivot if need be, but was hoping to do a PSE Tweed Princeton and wanted to add tremolo.
Do I copy a Vibro Champ and swap out the tone stack for the volume and single tone control? - Or - Copy the 5F2A Princeton and graft in the tremolo from a 5E9a or VibroChamp? Going to be cathode biased so it would have to wiggle the cathode the second gain stage.
Are there any voltage considerations I need be aware of? Meaning, if my plate voltages for the trem are lower will it not oscillate? If so, is it okay to pull that voltage off the B+ instead of B+1?
I've got the AES/CE Dist/ Amplified Parts House Brand Power Transfromer which is a clone of the 290AX which is a 325-275-0-275-325 HT secondary and a 5V winding so should be pretty flexible regarding plate voltages. I've got some older new production tungsols that I'd like to use but I think they don't like too high a plate voltage if I remember correctly. Can get some TAD or EH if needed.
Thoughts? TIA
