VIBRATO for musicians
Phase vibrato
Jan Drexler

The phase vibrato is used to periodically change
the phase angle between the input and
output voltages of the transistor amplification
stage. The transistor in the basic layout
of the vibrato (Fig. 1a) works simultaneously as
an inverting non-inverting element with greens Uk (Fig. 1b). This changes the phase angle

voltage vector moves along the Thalet

from the connection of the sine circuit
RC) of the right thel form (Fig. 1b). The
phase shift between the input and output voltages
is determined by the relation

Is it me or does this look like basically a 2 stage uni vibe?

There's a similarity for sure but that's optical phasing with transistors...

Here's the lfo close up.

I don't have much experience with Eastern Block schematics.

I am I correct in thinking that a M22 resistor is 220k and a 20M capacitor is 20uf?

Also what is the value of P5. It says M1/N, is that a100k?

I hope I'm right about this. If 2M2 is 2.2uF, then M1 is 0.1uF. The G2 is not the schematic number, it is its value. M is for MEGA, G is for GIGA. G2 should be 200uF.

strange, I made the LFO part to try it, but not working at all
here is my schematic

But not working. Did I messed something? I posted a link to the image on FB, cannot manage to have it posted here

C1 should be connected to C5, not to gnd. T1's emiter to gnd, It's not clear what have you done with dual gang pot.

I use an external connection for dual pot to prevent overcrowding PCB. Thanks, yes I didn't even noticed my error on C5, silly me... I corrected the schematic on the FB post and added the PCB image to give you an idea how I wire a dual pot with only 2 lugs and a ground
