Revibe build - tube tremolo and spring reverb

[Travis]

Just finished wiring up my Weber Revibe build today. This thing is a Fender 6G15 outboard reverb unit with the 6G12 harmonic tremolo crammed into one chassis.

With dwell, mix, and tone controls, the reverb is capable of being subtle or way more intense than the built-in Fender reverbs. It is freakin awesome.

Then there's the 6G12 tremolo which is like a tremolo and 2 stage phaser/vibe at the same time. It is mesmerizing, deep, and just cool.

That's unreal!!  Great work Travis.

[Travis]

Thanks dude! Can't wait till I get home so I can play with it some more!

Had to put some nice black Davies chicken heads on instead of those cheap white ones that wouldn't sit all the way down on the pot shafts. Lotsa potential innuendos

That thing is gorgeous!

[Kinski]

beautiful! Anyone know if there is a tube-to-fet design for the phasey tremolo?

[Travis]

Thanks aishabag and kinski!

I haven't seen a FET version of the 6G12 trem but it could be cool. This trem circuit is picky about tubes though, not sure how that will translate to using FETs

I do remember seeing a solid state version of the reverb though

Yeah the Surfy Bear Reverb. I built it. Its really fantastic sounding.

[Travis]

I freakin love this reverb circuit! It can be really subtle or ridiculously over the top. I tamed it a little bit by swapping out the JJ 6V6 with a Hytron 6K6

The surfy bear looks cool, how are you housing the circuit and spring tank?
