Members music321 Posted December 27, 2007 Members Share Posted December 27, 2007 I saw specs for building an amp w/ tube reverb. is it possible to have stand-alone tube reverb, or must it be incorporated into an amp? i've looked around on the net, and the only mention of tube reverb is in conjunction with amps. a friend says that tube reverbs can only be built into an amp, as they have an intimate interplay with the amp tubes. ?

Members DanJep Posted December 27, 2007 Members Share Posted December 27, 2007 Guyatone did it. http://www.stevesmusiccenter.com/GuyatoneFR-3000V.html Edit: Fender's reverb is tube also http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/63TubeRevBT/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mirrorball Posted December 27, 2007 Members Share Posted December 27, 2007 Your friend is wrong. Fender makes (made?) a separate tube reverb unit. http://www.fender.com/products//search.php?partno=0217500000 Edit: (and I see others posted while I was typing mine. Woo hoo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members monsterbot Posted December 27, 2007 Members Share Posted December 27, 2007 The '63 tube reverb reissue is pretty popular. There are others out there by both old and new companies including Alamo, Valvetrain, Premier and others. Here's a link to the '63 reverb reissue:http://www.elderly.com/fmic/items/FRV-BRN.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ejk Posted December 27, 2007 Members Share Posted December 27, 2007 I think the space box is a discontinued Soldano affair, could be pricey. Then there's also this little doo-hickey, whatever it really is: http://www.pedalspluseffectswarehouse.com/AMT_Electronics_Tube_Hall_p/amt-th.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wingfijm Posted December 27, 2007 Members Share Posted December 27, 2007 Soldano also has the Surf Box. It has tremolo and reverb. I remember seeing Widespread Panic on Austin City Limits and Mikey had one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The Gainster Posted December 27, 2007 Members Share Posted December 27, 2007 ... Problem is reverb is best AFTER the preamp, NOT before... Had a real 63 and could never get it to sound good live. Too much verb almost all the time. Had to keep turning the knobs when changing pedals and such... .02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fender 'verb is best thought of as an effect, IMO - certainly not the best choice for subtle reverbs or high gain situations. I don't use mine as my main reverbed sound, but in situations where you want that particular tone nothing else touches it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Echotraveler Posted December 27, 2007 Members Share Posted December 27, 2007 i think tube things are mostly hipe to get $$$....most pedals that use tubes, simply use the tube as esthetics....or maybe they do produce sound but simply dont have the power they need.. and why use tubes to create delay??? or reverb..or envelope filters.... there was a guy here in the forums who built a lot of prototypes....he had everything with tubes....

I think he has it in the direct chain to the amp but I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty Belle Posted December 27, 2007 Members Share Posted December 27, 2007 the fender tube reverb is the best,the original and the standard by which all reverb is judged, anything other than fender reverb is a copy of the real deal! ({censored},i sound like a salesman.lol) buy the 63 reissue and swap a tube and youl be dripping wet! with the stock tubes its ok but as soon as you swap in one NOS or high quality 6k6(?) it sounds basically identical to the vintage units, most people cant tell the difference anyways! btw, reverb sounds best clean and with thick droning fuzz imo.

I don't think I can use anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
