SIMPLE WAA-WAA CIRCUIT
    These values can be changed quite freely till the specific desired effect is achieved.
    When adjusting the unit initially, RV1 is turned to its minimum value. RV2 is now adjusted and fro till a point is found at which an audible whistle ippears indicating oscillation. RV1 is then adjusted till the oscillation just disappears. RV2 is turned over its whole range and if at any point oscillation occurs RV1 is again advanced till it ceases.
    It should be possible to set RV2 to any value over it's range of adjustment without any oscillation being apparent; this should also be achieved with the minimum possible value of RV1. The unit is now ready for operation.
    This circuit can be incorporated in guitar amplifiers or electronic organs. A phase shift RC oscillator makes up the basic circuit. C4, C5, C6 and R6, R7, RV2 make up the components of the bridge that determine the operating frequency.
    Negative feedback is obtained by feeding part of the signal back to the base via C2. The waa-waa effect is achieved as
certain frequencies are amplified more than others. The transistor Used is not critical however it should have a gain of more than 150. An NPN type such as the BC1O8 or BC1O9 is suitable.
    The values of C4, C5, C6 are chosen so as to emphasise waa-waa effect on the higher audio frequencies. This gives the sound its brilliance.
