 Has anyone tried a Fender style 6g15 standalone reverb in the loop of their OTS w/ or w/out a D-lator?

  I am getting ready to built one in a 1u rack case and I am hoping that it will sound decent. I read an article recently that Steve Kimock stated that Two Rock Built him a Fender style Reverb and that he used it in the loop of his Dumble w/ a D-lator (Krinulator) w/ outstanding results. He said it smoked his half rack digital verbs he was used to using.

 I may Build The Belton Brick into the unit also so I can switch between the 2 verbs or use them n'sync.

I believe I will also have to put a balanced line out so it will work correctly in an effects loop. Also a ground lift of some nature to reduce hum and so there is no ground loop.

 Hopefully this will be a great alternative to digital units as there is nothing like good 'ol tube spring reverb!!!

Don’t bother!
I’ve tried fender reverb, also Roland RE-201 space echo (spring reverb + multyhead tape delay) which is superior to Fender. Wthout and with Dumbleator. Also many rack or pedal devices. NOTHING would work properly in live situation if you don’t use a PARALEL loop divice and also you have to kill FX dry signal.
The best device so far for me is a Fuchs verbrator – PARALEL digial reverb and loopolator in one small box. No tone lose at all.

    My d-lator will have a series/parallel switch and the reverb unit I am building will have a 100k Metal Film resister series w/ pin 2 of the 12at7 to the input jack so It should work properly. The problem with the Fuchs Verberator is that its designed to be transparent ( I Think?, correct me if I'm wrong) therefore not achieving the D-lator effect

. The Fuchs unit also has a Digital Reverb ( I really do hate digital reverbs ). This is IMO of course. Some may prefer a Digital unit, I do not.  I love Blackface style reverb and I think The OTS will be a perfect match.

 Dumble made a tube Reverb unit himself called the Big Tex Reverb. I just wish there was more information about this unit as its about as rare as a SSS  Grin.

Every parallel device, including your D-lator would be transparent. That’s why it is PARALEL. I'm sure you know that D-lator 3D effect only occurs if you have it in series loop with stereo out device (chorus, delay etc) together with second amp. Otherwise D-lator effect is a myth based on small increase of a loop gain which feels like a “bigger amp” with corrupted tone unfortunately.
Big Tex reverb? Non significant after TC 2290 and Lexicon MX400 was created ! not IMO, just fact.

 I've heard many great things on T.C. stuff ( The new and old  ) unfortunetely I don't have the bread to burn on a studio grade Rack verb like a Lexicon PCM or T.C. 

 I do understand your point on the parallel being transparent ( thats obviously why it is a versatile mod for the D-lator).

 I'm not bagin on the Fuchs Verberator, after all he does have a good price on it.

Hey guys.... with parallel switch you put just effect part into parallel mode and not D-lator it self. D-lator is still serial and still affects the tone (in a good way if you ask me).
I'm using Suhr Minimix and it works like a charm,... along with my MPX1 I'm totally satisfied.

A tube verb like 6g15 here would only make sense to me, if D-lator is not needed anymore (impedance/level matching)... and as far as the parallel thing goes - with no digital A/D happening, I thought parallel is not needed anymore... well that was my theory but what do I know.   Wink

I've got the Verbrator...sounds great. It's not a spring but it works well for me.  Prior to that I had the Holy Grail in the loop w/out and buffer and it totally closed down the sound of the amp.

I´m going to by a Verbrator and need some help with how to connect my pedals to my HRM.
I have BJF SW Auto Wha, Budda Wha, BJF BB, Rock box BP, Ethos, BJF DB delay, Red Witch Moon phaser, and soon Verbrator.

 Just run any time based effects in your loop ( Delay Chorus ,Reverb etc).

  And any OD, Fuzz , Phaser, wah,Vibe,trem, Volume pedal, Auto wah,and  Ethos will go in front of the amp.

 The Delay would go into the send/return of the Verberator and the in/out will go to the send/return of your amp.

The Fuches Verbrator is a 'Dumbleator' and 'Reverb unit' combined.

I use one 'in the loop' and really like it.

Most people agree that a buffered FX Send / Return is required to connect standard pedals / rack gear into the Overtone (or most D-Style amps).

The Kleinulator or new C-Lator does this.

The Fuchs Verbrator gives you a buffered FX Send / Return & Reverb at the same time.

The Reverb can be 'dialled out' if required, leaving you with a 'Dry' FX Send & Return.

The FX Send / Return from the Verbrator can be switched between Series and Parallel The default is Parallel mode, meaning that your TONE can remain intact without passing through numerous AD/ DA stages.

I've currently got mine setup with a Rocktron Intelifex providing Delay / Reverb although sometimes just delay with the Verbrator providing the reverb, it works really well.

The consensus is Reverb / Time Based FX do not work as well when placed in front of the amp......there again rules can be ignored!!

Seems to me that there's a misconception that the FX loop as it is, is not usable without one of the buffering units.
I think this is only if you want to put pedals in there, because they're mostly designed to work with guitar level signals. In my experience a line level/rack mount device -  reverb, delay type FX work just fine in the FX loop without degrading the tone/sound quality.
All I need is a reverb, the OTS overdrive can't be beat IMO by any FX pedal.

Still not sure what to do   : /

Andy at Fuchs told me that the Good Verbrations is ok to put in the HRM loop ( its probably bufferd )
I also want to have my Deap Blue Delay in the loop.
Is it ok to have the Good Verbrations and DBD in serie into the loop, or do I have to use Verbrator insted so I can have the DBD parallel true Verbrator in the loop ?
