Wanted to know how it works the attack time setting of the UA 175A, and what I should mod to get slower attack times.

Thanks,
Val

schematic

Output signal is rectified in the 6AL5. The 0.1uFd capacitor is charged to a negative voltage, enough to reduce the gain of the 6BC8.

The 25K Attack pot slows the charging of the 0.1uFd cap.

> what I should mod to get slower attack times.

Change the Attack pot to 100K or 250K.

Or if you also want longer Release, chnage the 0.1uFd cap to 0.3 or 0.5uFd.
