So i've taken apart the tremolo module and found that it lights up.
I've also realized that the tremolo works on this amp. However I can only hear it when the intensity knob turned far clockwise. It is very faint at this setting and turning the intensity pot right also lowers the volume of the amp quite a bit. But when i do this I can hear the tremolo (it lowers the volume so much that I have to turn the volume up on the amp). as i turn the intensity knob left the amp gets louder and the tremolo effect fades away until it is not there at all (not that there was much there to begin with)
Also the speed changes but it does not change much- it goes from fast to very fast. There is also a loud tick in time with the bulb flashing as I turn the volume of the amp up to compensate for the the effect of turning the intensity knob to the right.
I've replaced the capacitors in that part of the circuit. Anyone have any idea what else this could be? I assumed it was the module because I emailed the guy at flip top amps these notes and he said "yeh its definitely the module" (but that was back when he was selling them)
Any input would be greatly appreciated!
