Hey.

Another 'how do I remove the dry signal' thread.

What do I have to do to turn the CS5 into a Vibrato?

Looks like clipping C30 would do it.

thanks so much, it worked perfectly!

killing the dry signal turned a useless effect into something pretty cool.
also, I found two trim pots inside that I didn't know of :)

One or both of those trimmers might be set for something like optimal noiseless function, so changing may cause unwanted distrortion/buzz. I'm sure you have a meter, just check before twisting.
