Hi All, I've already posted this in the 'effects' category, which means that loads of people have read it, but so far no response. I've got an old CE2B this i need to up the rate of the chorus sound on for a more "lesley" effect. I've been searching around for how to do this, and apparently it's possible by replacing two resistors. I've got circuit diagrams and I think I know which ones to alter, but not sure about the values of the new resistors. Any experiential/educated guesses would be appreciated.

Resistors are dirt cheap, you *could* just experiment with different values until you find the combination that suits you best.

If I was doing this then I'd probably solder a couple of leads from where the resistors were originally soldered and temporarily put a couple of pots in their place (using centre and one of the outer connection points).
Once I'd achieved the effect I was after I'd disconnect the pots and use a meter to measure the resistance imposed by the pot and then stick in the appropriate value resistors as the permanant solution.

As a starting off point I'd probably choose pots that were double the value of the resistors I was looking at changing (so if it was a 4.7K resistor I'd use a 10K linear pot). That way you have the option of varying the resistance by 50% in either direction.

Sorry if this sounds vague but you're looking to adapt a piece of equipment to make a sound that you have in your head - not the easiest thing to come up with definate answers to :)
