Electric Biscuit Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 My new amp doesn't have reverb, what would you recommend for a rack reverb unit? Keeping in mind I loathe digital "reverb" I hear it's possible to buy a 20$ Fender replacement reverb tank and wire it up to use as an external effect, anyone know anything about this? real men just jam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. Dan Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Really a reverb tank is not a practical option. It requires it's own drive circuit from the amp and a recover stage (possibly transformer coupled) to mix it back in. Does your amp have an effects loop? You can probably find a BBD type analog reverb that would be suitable, but a reverb tank would probably not apply to that application. Dan Acoustic/Electric stringed instruments ranging from 4 to 230 strings, hammered, picked, fingered, slapped, and plucked. Analog and Digital Electronic instruments, reeds, and throat/mouth.

02R96 Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I remember seeing an ad in GP from a company who makes an true spring reverb effects box. I did a quick search and found this, but your amp would need an effects loop. http://www.demeteramps.com/products/reverb/index.html This might be your easiest solution... Danelectro also makes a real spring reverb box called The Spring King. Dan "I hate what I've become, trying to escape who I am..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electric Biscuit Posted November 19, 2010 Author Share Posted November 19, 2010 I do have an effects loop, so that's not a problem 80s-LZ - I'm not opposed to making a project out of this, rather than taking the easy way out I've also found this http://www.vanamps.com/ might be worth looking into real men just jam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caevan O’Shite Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I found this: used Lexicon Reflex - $120 on CraigsList You might look out for a used Demeter Real Reverb analog/spring reverb, or a Peavey Valverb. There have been many other rack-mount spring reverbs over the years; there are bound to be some deals out there... Does it have to be a rack-mount reverb? Consider the Van Amps Reverbamate and Sole-mate spring reverb pedals... GPF member miroslav loved his Sole-mate... You might also consider installing- or having someone install- a real tube/spring reverb in your amp (more feasible if it's a combo, than a head).

You'll also noticed I linked the vanamps site in my previous post My amp is an Egnater Tweaker, and it's pretty tiny (a head, not a combo) so I don't see how a reverb unit could possibly get installed in there I know a local shop that is a Danelectro dealer, so I'm gonna see if I can check out the Spring King some time (and while I'm at it, the Reel Echo looks pretty cool) real men just jam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caevan O’Shite Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Yeah, when I started typing up my previous post, there hadn't been any replies yet, and I'd been going back and forth from the computer doing stuff here, before I finally wrapped it up and hit "Reply"...

Electric Biscuit Posted November 20, 2010 Author Share Posted November 20, 2010 anyway, seems the only way I'll be able to get a Vanamps reverb over here is to order it online, (30$ shipping...), so I will have to dwell on that a bit I've found a couple of other used things for sale that might satisfy me for a while if I buy them... one, an 80s DOD analog delay pedal, two, some guy's bastardized Leslie speaker that he sketchily wired up to use as a guitar effect (after ripping it directly out of an organ). I'm gonna check it out, if it doesn't look like it will kill me I might get it real men just jam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desertbluesman Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 I have a Digitech Digital Reverb stomp and on one of the settings it sounds better than any spring verb I ever had in any amp (amps I have had here and there since 1964). http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/DigiTech-DigiVerb-Digital-Reverb-Pedal?sku=150822 I use the number 3 verb. The rest are not to my liking but that one is the best yet. dbm If it sounds good, it is good !! http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=143231&content=music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
