What do you use for Reverb?

RV-5 in my case  :Smiley



It's not that bad, but definitely not the best out there.

Thanks for the help! I ordered my Overtone a few days ago and counting down till it's here. Nike said there was a 9 week wait.  I have read some good reviews on the jackson Mr. Springgy reverb.

I had and sold a Mr Springgy. For me, it didn't work thay well in the Overtone loop. I tried it in front of a Fender and it sounded great. So, I'd say it belongs in front of an amp not in a loop. I plan to get a Nova Delay to use in the loop. A little delay works better for me than a little reverb anyway. Just my preference.

I am working on something which I will add to my plexi 50 clone. This should also work in an overtone as well. If you haven't ordered anything ask Nik to punch a few extra holes in the chassis for preamp tube, this uses one 12AT7 and a reverb tranny (which nik has) and a *AB***** reverb tank.

Also see if you can get Nik to punch a few extra holes in the front for pots... In fact if I ever get the overtone I will ask for an oversized chassis (like the ones used on the Plexi 100 superlead) with a few extra holes.







I used the switch box because I could not find any space inside my plexi 50 chassis and I couldnt find space for an extra tube too, this assembly will be bolted right on top of the main chassis... I am also "disabling" the presence control (it does nothing on my amp) by removing the pot from the chassis and securing it elsewhere... like the back.

wouldn't it be fairly simple to add a spring reverb?

A spring reverb requires a reverb transformer and a tube, usually a 12at7, and additional resistors and capacitors.  See rahimiiii's post in this thread - that is a spring reverb he's talking about.

You do not have to necessarily use a tube... solid state counterparts could be used but make sure the impedance matches. Not all circuit requires a reverb transformer but the Fender style ones seems to be the most straightfoward and reverb transformer is cheap and Nik sells them. Like I said I could install this inside the chassis but I'd have to do some major overhaul to make space as well as punch holes for an extra tube...

i use a lee jackson mr springy but any pedal you use will need a dumbleator of some type. I may be getting a t-rex reverb pedal to try. I really like the lee jackson though. It's the best I've heard in a pedal and sounds good for clean or high gain. It's so good, I turn the reverb off in my vintage style BF amps.

I couldn't agree more, I'm using that same pedal and am totally happy with the sound, seems to be working fine by itself in the effects loop as well, without  help from any Dumbleator like item.  Smiley

hmm the experts agree on the quality of the Springy but seem to disagree a bit on it working well in the FX loop.
I'm curious about this. I do love the simplicity and vintage sound of the pedal!

You will lose some gain and a bit of tone using the springy in the effect loop but you can still get some great sounds with it. For most playing, you can compensate with the tone controls of the amp but the dumbleator will make it sound even better. I have a klein-ulator coming later in the week.

I think Nik is going to offer a dumbleator in a couple months. It'd be cool if he made a klein-ulator available as well...

By the way, the digitech digiverb and Goudie Delay work pretty well in the effect loop. You lose a little gain but I'm pretty happy with the results. here's a clip: http://www.sheetsofsound.net/demos/ceriatone8.mp3

I think it'll be better with my klein-ulator though...

thats interesting. I was looking at the G-major as all-in-one unit.

Do you have a volume drop when you insert it in the loop?

If yes, can you offset the volume drop with an output control of the G-major?

thanks
