Ok I think I figured out my new problem. I lifted a trace on the 15k resistor. The problem is I have no schematic and I can't tell what connections need to be made. The left side still has trace and I can see it goes directly to the reverb switch. The right side trace is lifted and I haven't had...

So good news, parts showed up, I replaced the vactrol with the LDR/LED and now the tremolo works perfectly. Bad news, I somehow screwed up the reverb side. Now when I engage the reverb I just get a loud static sound, ughh.......

Thanks, yeah I am probably going to try the LDR/LED route. There's a couple of other components I need to make it right. At least I know it works properly.

Thanks. I went with the vactrol based on these comments from Aion: "The Luna sounds best with a VTL5C3 workalike. Since the original VTL5C3 is no longer made, you’ll likely need to find a substitute. Xvive and CoolAudio make their own version under the same part number, VTL5C3, and both are...

here are some pics

Just finished the Sproing Deluxe. Everything is working except the gain is below unity even when the gain pot is maxed out. I used the VTL5C3 - Xvive VTL5C3. I tried changing the 220k resistor to 390k and then 470k. Any thoughts on what to try next?

Thanks I will try it out.

So I built this without this info. I used the Silonex NSL-32SR3. It doesn't seem to be functioning as it should. Will the 500k LDR/5mm clear white LED combo make a difference?
