Standalone reverb
What's the best option for 36w build? Id also like to use it in front of my 3w amp which doesn't have a loop. Looking at the fender type tube kit from tubetown or the also have a solid state lndverb which is cheap! I have a spring tank as I tried to make a spring pedal years ago but it never sounded any good. I need something tried and tested with layout/ schematic etc as I'm far from expert. Any suggestions?
I have to make an order from tube town this week for a few small parts to finish my amp, shipping is over 20e to Ireland so I could order my Christmas reverb present at the same time...

Re: Standalone reverb
Yes, I asked about the circuit on another thread but you probably didn't see

Re: Standalone reverb
The one I posted the video about is current driven, so your tank won't likely be any good.
It is my take on the Lamington reverb unit, but with some extra's and tweaks

Re: Standalone reverb
My son, Isaac built what we think started life as a Weber Revibe kit and I was quite impressed with it. I am usually not a big fan of lo-fi effects. I much prefer rack effects for most things, especially reverb but this Revibe sounds pretty good. It was clear, and fairly natural and fairly tweakable. I could live with it for most of my guitar tones if I had to.

Re: Standalone reverb
As a reverb freak I will never get what I need out of rack units, for the same reason we want tube amps.
The downside of the stand alone units is the extra noise when you put it in series with the amp, pushing its front end. With my current builds the unit is built in the amp, well, it’s a different circuit though. But these amps don’t suffer from extra noise. I can’t explain it, but what I feared the most just isn’t there. Very quiet reverb noise floor.
