You forgot another glaring issue of this circuit: as you increase the Mix, you lose volume and treble, i.e. the so called "tone suck". That's because dry and wet are both connected to the same pot. Just the way it is. Separate volume controls for dry and wet would fix the issue. BTW playing surf with a PRS is just dystopian :)
I tend to agree that digital cannot adequately duplicate these tanks. You can get great reverb sounds from a Super Reverb by running the output from the tank into the NORMAL channel of the amp (with appropriate cabling and adapters) by rolling off nearly all the bass and running up most of the treble. Sounds fab!
The Boss Fender Reverb pedal is one of the few pedals that have drip. But of course, it has an artificial quality to it. But a decent option for people who don't have the money or space for this puppy chucker.
some single-button footswitches are made with unshielded cable, good ones have a metal switch housing and a round shielded cable that is properly grounded to the switch housing.
Is this your band? The wave from the thanks sounds awesome! Cool the dude is operating it with his foot. I used to do this with a dan electro spring king pedal.
Awesome content! Tube reverbs and reverb units are such a fascinating area. I recently made and uploaded a video featuring my AMT TH-1 pedal (AMT Tube Hall). It might not be all analog or a true unit, but I still love its sound. Combining it with a phaser creates an incredible effect.
@Tom Holderness Hi Tom, I got one, in very good condition, works perfect. I want to sell it, but on „Ebay Kleinanzeigen“ (Germany) nobody is interested. I just used it at home for a few recordings and that was it.
What power issues can you get when you have an amp on the same circuit? Currently get this sound. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ak-vSKzoP_s.html
Ouch, that sounds like either bad tubes or really dirty (unregulated) power. If you have an amp tech/service, might want to send them the clip for a quick troubleshoot. If it's power, might want to check (or have an electrician) check your home for grounding issues and loops. I've had plenty of equipment that is very sensitive to power fluctuations and I've lived in some places with pretty bad electricity.
A single button doorbell style Fender footswitch does work, the ground must be shielded and the footswitch housing needs grounding too. You should really be sure about something like this before you tell the world that it doesn’t work.
Vaild point, but I am sure he only speaks from his experience and you can't expect every youtuber to know everything. That is why whe have comment sections :) Thanks for the correction.
By that point, Accutronics had been bought out by Belton, who moved production overseas...you could always try to track down an older US made tank with the same specs, did that with a blues jr with great results
Surfy Bear Industries makes a couple true spring reverbs based on the G15 circuit which perform comparably, cost less, are more compact and less fragile than the Fender tube reverb. They're viable alternatives to true Fender reverbs, and are favored by many modern surf-rock guitar players.
The tubes stay lit and therefore warm. Standby just cuts the signal to the speakers. If you have a pedal tuner, just use that to turn off volume to the speakers.
@@lauraharmon6508 It does indeed keep the tube heaters on and keeps them warm but it disconnects the high voltage HT supply to the plates in the tubes, or anodes. It doesn't disconnect the speaker.
