MF-101 + MF-103 to get Fender Blackface Vibrato

[facon]

I spent some time today replicating the vibrato (tremolo) on my '67 Fender Vibrolux Reverb. It's extremely close. In fact, neither my band members nor I can tell if I'm using the Moog or the amp's vibrato unless we check to see which is in use. I'm using a Mf-101 Lowpass Filter and a MF-103 12-Stage Phaser, but you can use any triangle LFO (CP-251) in place of the phaser.

Patch cable from MF-103 LFO Out to MF-101 Mix In

MF-101 - Engaged
Amount: 0
Mix: 0 to 3 (Intensity)
Cutoff: 1 notch to the left of 250
Switch 4-pole
Resonance: 0

MF-103 - Bypassed
Switch: Hi
Rate: A hair under 4 to 8 (Speed)

The rest of the settings don't matter. Of course, you can go outside of these ranges, but this is exactly what's available on the amp. Just thought I'd share for Fender amp guys that want an easier way to replicate and control tremolo on their pedalboard.

I used to have a precise, scientific definition of each of those words, but I like discovering how amps manufacturers implemented tremolo/vibrato in many ways
