Members jomaco Posted April 16, 2011 Members Share Posted April 16, 2011 Hi Can anyone tell me about the guyatone RM-5. It is a stand alone spring reverb unit from the 1970s kind of like a fender unit I believe. It goes between the guitar and amp, are these units any good/what do they sound like? Cheers Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members hecticone Posted April 16, 2011 Members Share Posted April 16, 2011 Cool little units you see them everyonce in a while on ebay for 50 or so. For the money its a great little reverb unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jomaco Posted October 25, 2011 Author Members Share Posted October 25, 2011 The reverb wasn't really to my taste in the end. I think it might be because I put it into the front of a bluesbreaker style amp but isn't this what they used to do with the old plexis (w/a fender reverb tank)? Having heard the youtube clip of the (similar) carlsbro unit (see my other post - don't think it's been approved yet) I thought it would be ideal but i'm just not sure about that power cable... at worst perhaps I could make one! Here is the ebay auction: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190589176003?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_500wt_1413 - what power cable do you think it might be?
