Question re: Fender Tube reverbs (6G15 vs. CBS later SF
Question:
Anyone have experience with the later CBS tube reverb unit? (Black tolex, silverface panel, tourquoise threaded cloth). Looking at the schematic, it appears there is an extra tube stage post reveb pan. Maybe they thought too much was lost in the reveb pan. Anyway, I was considering a homebrew and that got me thinking of adding the additional stage and adding some tone control… Any thoughts would be appreciated. Tim

I think the silverface sounds better-but then I think most silverfaces sound better than the blackfaces. I think the biggest factor is the reverb pan. They come in various varieties and sound different. I wonder if a stereo unit with one short three spring and one long two spring would be cool? The can that Mesa used is the best of the bunch to my ears. I think this is the short three spring.
