Moonshot Tremolo Gain

[Quirkey]

I've had a mostly working Moonshot Tremolo on my bench for a while now and though 'It Works' with the gain knob at max it is still quieter than unity. This might be normal (?) but seems weird with two op-amps in there. I'm guessing there's some R value I can tweak somewhere or maybe tweak the gain pot to give me more total output? Are there certain resistors I should check? Thanks for the help as always.

The resistance of the LDR will have an effect on the amount of gain.

You could increase the value of R3, or the Gain pot, adjust the distance between the LED/LDR, or swap the LDR for one with resistance.

Also, post pics of your build. Maybe there's an errant resistor value somewhere...

I think it was the cheap LDR I got, but I ended up swapping the value of R3 for a 330K and that seemed to boost the gain a bunch.

Thanks!
