Subject: Re: GX1 tremolo

Of course I'm talking of ELP version in the album Works, side four.

It is related with heavy distortion and different harmonic content so, not even sure it can be just a tremolo effect...

Is there any clone of this circuit or similar? I remember very old Yamaha guitar amplifiers that had a stunning tremolo effect but no idea if there may be a similarity with the GX1 design.
