Hi all,
I'm just thinking out loud at this stage, but I'm tempted to add one of those little 9" reverb tanks to my deacy amp.
For those who don't know, the deacy consists of this circuit with this treble booster before it, all contained in one cabinet.
I'm thinking the reverb has to go right at the beginning of the path because sometimes I disengage the treble booster.
I've seen plenty of schematics for this kind of thing but they've all been bi-polar psu.
I'd rather build something which operates on 9V DC, as that's the power supply the amp is using.
I'm thinking I can use an lm386 to boost instrument level and drive a reverb tank, but I'd need something to set the output back around instrument level, right?
Also, I'm open to the idea of putting the reverb unit after the main amp if that saves the need for a dedicated drive unit.
I'm not sure how that would sound, though.
I'm a little out of my depth, but with some help it's seems like it might be doable.
To be clear, this'll be a permanent reverb tank install : There wont be any jacks and I wont be using any other effects in this loop.
Any info is much appreciated.
