God, I'm so glad I'm more into the on-board reverb than I am into stand alone tank reverb, I was worried I was going to have to spend money.

When you get that dripping sound from a vintage reverb it’s just so fantastic!!!

Biggest takeaway: "Damn, RJ plays the shit out of some west coast blues."

This is one of the best demo’s of the difference between stand alone reverb and internal. It would have been really cool to do a similar demo but include like the solid state Mustang or other non-tube non-spring compared to spring. There is to me a huge difference and why I want a stand alone to go with my 74 Champ. Thank you for the demo!!

RJ, I skipped this video a gew days because it didn't seem interesting to me, but I did watch it now and was actually really surprised at how much more versatile the standalone reverb unit is. Thanks for another great video!

The best demo I've ever seen on anything. Thank you!

DAMN! I needed a towel after that demo. So much lush, wet, drippy reverb goodness!

This is the best demo video I have ever seen. You did a great job.

That was awesome. The more I listen to the telecaster, the more I fall in love with it.

Absolutely love the video. Has me seeing reverb in a whole new light tbh. From both the combo amp and the standalone unit.

Informative as always and just awesome playing! Love your work RJ.

I never realized how awesome the old tanks were till I saw Kid Ramos play with the Tbirds live...if I can ever stop buying guitars I’ll have one. Lol! Great demo brother!!

That was some REALLY nice playing at the end. Mahalo for sharing. Now i REALLY want a stand alone reverb!

RJ, I could listen to you play a West Coast Blues all day long! You sound great on a Telecaster!

Great tutorial.. Sort of rare, but I have a 1976 Silverface Stand Alone Reverb Tank, love it! I also recommend folks looking at the Premier Tube Reverb Units, they have a cool sort of dark tone.

Another awesome video my friend! Keep up the good work RJ!

Didn't even know about this! Great video man. I always dig in-amp spring, love it so much.

Great video Thanks !! Really shows the difference between the two. Can't wait to get a stand alone unit !!

I just happened to get a reissue from the 90s at a garage sale for like $150 😂 I just have to say I am so glad that today we don’t have to carry reverb units around with us. Jeez I see how small my HX Stomp really is now!

"re-VERB"! Ok ... here's what you do with that in-board re-VERB unit in your combo amp! Unplug the input at the amp, that leads from the tank (the tank output wire). Buy a female-to-male RCA cable to be used as an extension. ALSO, buy a 1/4" male jack that has a FEMALE RCA jack on its butt. Plug that extension into the RCA-female-to-1/4-male jack, and plug that into the FRONT of the amp, channel one. Roll off all the bass, but maybe ONE or TWO. Increase the treble to your liking, maybe even push up the "BRIGHT" switch. Channel ONE essentially becomes your re-VERB control, so set the volume where you like it in relation to your DRY volume, in channel TWO. You will love the sound!! SO much better than the normal re-VERB sound! Try it, you'll like it!

Can be more subtle and still giving the best reverb tone? Hendrix would be an example of perfect clean to dirtiest tone.

Just discovered this channel. Great work RJ.

The Reverb Spring Tank Units were probably built by (or licensed by) Hammond as the Non-Necklace style units first appeared in 1960 in Hammond A-100, L-100 and-100 Organs, they were predated by the Necklace Reverb units that appeared in Early A-100s and PR-20&PR-40 Tone Cabinets (the problem with the Necklace Units is that they Rattled too much). These were predated by the Hammond Oil Reverb tanks that appeared in Hammond Tone Cabinets from the late 1930s to 1958 and could be found in HR-40 Tone Cabinets until 1963. These Oil Reverb tanks were partially filled with Automotive Brake Fluid and had a sort of "Slap Back" Sound. So without seeing the inside of a Stand-Alone Fender Reveb, I would assume it had a Hammond Tank. I have a Late 1960s Conn Organ that has a Hammond Reverb Tank. Baldwin (for their home organs) had a Reverb Unit called a "Panoramic Tone" that somehow got around Hammond's Patent, it also used a Spring, but it was a suspended spring (similar to the Hammond Necklace, but it was a larger Coil spring resembling a Slinky but only half of the Slinky's diameter. I pulled the Reverb Tank out of a later Panoramic Tone that had a different off shaped spring in a small metal box. There were also Tape Reverb Units (Schober Organs and the Echoplex) and Plate Reverbs used in the Recording Industry.

I got the Boss Clone of the Fender Stand-Alone Unit for one of my Hammond Organs, hoping it would be able to respond like the Electrotone Organ Mate Aftermarket Reverb kits for a B-3, but it could too easily be overdriven by the organ (it would work on a very minimal setting only, that was a bit too soft for my tastes), so I put it in my Guitar stomp box kit where it sounds at least close to the original.

No question, the tank rocks! The West Coast Blues really sparkled. Being able to dial in the amount and character is also a huge plus. The sound of the guitar is just better. Have another tube preamp pushing the amp also sounds nice. Out board seems like the way to go? The only question I’m left with is outboard going direct in, or in the effects loop?

@RJRonquillo

Direct in the front of the amp.

I feel like the real difference is that the stand alone is running into the front end of the amp and through all the gain and eq. If the tank was in the fx loop, it would probably sound similar.

Nice.. An honest look

Great stuff!!

Definitely hear a difference between the two units (subjectively one is preferred over the other). I think a reverb pedal thrown into the mix would basically have the same

MAN that sounds so cool, I love a super wet reverb sound! Sadly, these tiny computer speakers dont truly show what all this stuff sounds like..

Remember also that the stand-alone tank hits the front of your amp. Amp reverb comes after the preamp. Stand-alone’s create a whole different feel than just plugging straight into the amp’s inputs.

Well done as always. Personally, my Strymon Flint works for me, either in front or in the effects loop, still experimenting. The price of a tank is pretty steep on for one effect.

Decent amp. The reverb units will make any amp sound surfy and in this ballpark. The choice of clean amp makes a slight difference and tone connoisseurs may or may not be able to pick up the difference by sound alone.

I would imagine the standalone would probably sound even better through the effects loop of an amp

nice video

There's 2 songs I'm searching for the setup for. The first is the lead in Inna Godda Dovita (Iron Butterfly), and the second is The Pusher (Steppenwolf). I'm pretty sure they are both using a Maestro Fuzz Tone and stand alone reverb- any thoughts?

Whoa... is there any pedal that even approaches the drip on the tank??

Hey RJ - I have that amp! (can you believe I traded a '69 Princeton Reverb for it?) and I found/find that the onboard verb is hard sounding. not like any of the previous bf/sf fenders I've had. I also traded the speakers with a pair of eminence 1028K (same speaker as the blue frame alnicos) but anyway...... the stand alone unit has always been THE sound to me.

Joe Jabon the cleans are very good

I prefer a more clear reverb as it has less blur and more note articulation in its response......a less wooly reverb drive. So in the stand alone unit as you demonstrated the dwell knob.....it comes up fast to really drive the tank hard, so that part of the circuit needs adjusted to have a better and more useable sweep......it basically has way too much gain plus its a 12at7 tube which actually should sound a lot cleaner.In a reverb combo amp, the dwell is set by a fixed resistor connected to the grid of the 12at7 reverb driver tube, and that's a 1 meg resistor. To tame down the reverb would be to swap a 470k in for that 1meg dwell resistor so to not overdrive the tank input and cut the saturation. You might have to drop it to less than a 470k.....but that's a good starting point. On the other side of the tank is the reverb recovery tube which is a 12ax7. /on the reverb recovery tube, you'd change the cathode resistor from the 1.5K to a 3.3K to tame down that tubes gain via its bias and substitute either a 12ay7 or a 12at7 and preferably a JJ12at7 tube for this reverb recovery tube. The reverb driver tube is well suited to be a EH 12at7......and you could also swap the 500pf reverb input cap with a 1000pf cap or translated to a .001 polyester mylar type cap as to let more low mids and lower end pass thru the tank and warm it up richer in dynamics and have way more clarity in the reverb. Another good point is ti swap the fender accutronics 2 spring long decay tank with a MODtype 2 spring long delay tank as these tanks have a richer tonal response vs the accutronics. The actual reverb knob control is a mix type control for the combo amps, but you are dialing in the wet reverb signal on top of a fixed level dry signal and the circuitry has a fixed ratio between overall dry & wet signal. So the adjustments let you come up higher on the dial with the reverb knob which means more signal is going to be driving the phase inverter and power tubes. I find that a lot of my client just use a touch of reverb where they set it at like 2 or 3 on the dial. I like to play off the reverbs so I set mine higher to maybe 5 or 6 on the dial......as any higher gets too overdriven and saturated. With the adjustment to the reverb circuit, you'll get a better sweep of the effect on the reverb dial....with more useable range with the reverb......but yet when maxed out on the reverb knob..... gives the saturation of reverb effect. I occasionally use a 12ay7 in the reverb recovery position to subdue it more and get more clarity. And I'm also known for occasionally changing the fixed ratio resistors to add more reverb but also makes both signals of dry and wet more stronger in hitting the phase inverter and power tubes for a more aggressive amp response.

@mikecamps7226

I've recently gone to tweaking the solid state reverb circuits in the blues deluxe and deville amps.....which I find to actually be a more versatile reverb once I adjust it. I add a dwell pot to adjust the dwell plus a switch that has 2 profiles for the reverb response.....if you think of the reverb as a room.....you can switch it to be a bigger room with a more bigger deeper response and more saturation like the 63 outboard style unit. I'll be tweaking it further to add tone controls. I find that the typical TL072 chip in the solid state reverbs to be too sterile clean, so I swap it out with another IC chip in the family that is more juicy and musical in response and having a richer tone

@@frigglebiscuit7484 The tube reverb doesn't respond to tweaking like I can get with the IC based solid state reverb. I have found an additional point with the tube reverb that I'll be playing with......and then see if it will translate to the solid state reverbs. I look at it from a signal strength perspective. The tube circuit uses a really padded down dry signal to mix with the wet signal. AND the solid state has the same situation...... You have to have the right ratio with the wet and dry with the circuitry as is. When there is just a single reverb control......it adds on to the dry signal at the preset ratio level and the reverb control is basically a volume control pot to add the reverb signal on top of the dry.......its a parallel effect situation. SO to get the reverb signal boosted up high to compete better with the dry since the dry has to be padded down drastically......you'd need an extra tube for the tube type reverbs so that means chassis space. In a solid state reverb....it means another IC. BUT you also have to pay attention to the phase of the signal which is easier in solid state since its less chassis space and real estate. I'm looking at it in the end result not for just the effect.....but the signal strength coming out of the merger of the wet & dry signal and how it hits and drives tube stages down stream. In the present system of the circuitry......its a soft signal due to padding down the dry so much. The merge resistor for the dry in a tube reverb circuit in a reverb combo amp is a 3.3 MEG usually......so thats alot of resistance to pad down the signal....thus weakening it.......and translated on the wet side....the reverb signal is that weak so where you have to pad the dry down that much. You can't jack up the gain on the reverb recovery tube as then it will start to compress and go over driven and distorted and you want clean.....as the signal then goes to another gain stage as the mixer amp for the wet/dry signal before it hits the phase inverter and power tubes...... The 12ax7 reverb recovery tube has a hot operating point as its set up, so going to a lesser tube will take the wool off.....so a 12at7 or a 12ay7 is a lesser gain but has more signal push as those 2 tubes put out more current than a 12ax7

I’m sure this is probably a wild question… since your signal goes through the reverb unit before going into the front of the amp, is there a good setting for getting a good lush reverb when overdriving your amp? Maybe even with fuzz. I’ve tried using it and it seems that these reverb units are really only good with clean guitars. Putting an overdrive or fuzz pedal in front of a reverb seems like a bad time. I would really like for it to not be so.

Reverb Unit has limited output of wet signal, because it originates from tank. Dry singal goes just throught buffer, otherwise unaffected. So hotter the input signal, less audible reverb, because that dry signal overpowers wet signal
