Jennings Repeater

sounds like this:

The Repeater is a 'chopper' type square wave tremolo. The foot 'swiveler' controls the rate, the LH switch is bypass and the RH switch adds a bit of treble boost.

It's actually not a square wave but a reverse sawtooth: hard attack and a short decay.

It sounds just like the Jen/Vox Repeat Percussion (I have both).

You can say they were innovative in the 70s! Now you just have copies of the same stuff, cased in the same boring Hammond standard size..

Wow loads of mojo going on in there. Wonder how different the circuit actually is to the repeat percussion.
