Is reverb in the Fender Deluxe Reverb Reissue analog or digital?

[gene12586]

Very basic question I'm realizing I've never really known the answer to. I have a fender deluxe reverb reissue. It has a "vibrato channel", which has reverb in it. I know tube amps are analog, and so my guess would be that the reverb in the amp also has an analog circuit... But I also know that reverb effects pedals are rarely analog... So is the reverb in the deluxe reverb analog or digital? I'm assuming it's analog, but I thought I would ask to be sure.

Thanks.

I'm 99% certain that the reverb circuit in the Deluxe Reverb Reissue is the tube-driven spring type. Very analogue.

Turn up the reverb and then kick the amp. That’ll answer the question.

Gee... THAT never happened to anyone in the past!

I have to say... my Strymon Blue Sky has an amazing spring reverb emulation. But being digital.... it won't pass the kick test.

Simple way to check. Look at the bottom of the cabinet. A spring reverb will have the reverb tank, usually enclosed in a tolex bag.

Strymon Flint is quite lovely as well.

RFR quick question from a Brit. What is Tolex? We’ve probably got a different word?

 

[TalismanRich]

Tolex is the black vinyl fabric used for covering amps. It's got fabric inside, and is often used to enclose the reverb tank to keep dirt and dust from getting into the spring unit. My Peavey Classic 30 has one, I guess since the companies have reels of the fabric, it was handy to just sew up a bag for tank.
