Honestly, I have no idea what the impedances are here - I actually ran into impedance issues, which is why I installed the boost/buffer before it. When I was trying to figure out the issue (huge volume drop, tone suck etc) I figured it was probably an impedance issue, and I spent a long time trying to calculate it (or find someone else that could help me to calculate it) and I didn’t end up getting anywhere.

I’m not sure if the dry signal ‘sees’ the 1M to ground or if it only ‘sees’ the 220k resistor. I tried bypassing the 220k and it made no difference to how the circuit functioned, however. That’s when I gave up and installed the buffer.

I think either way it is going to be an experiment. It’s quite a nice sounding reverb in the amp, so it might end up being decent. I also built the Wampler Faux Spring Reverb though, and that sounds nice through the front end (although it’s belton brick rather than spring).
