I don't see why it wouldn't work as long as there is room for the turret board in the chassis, and it looks like there is.  I've read a few guys saying that the DR circuit loses some of its mojo with SS rectification. I looked at pics of the reverb rocket 2 and its strange Ampeg would call and amp Reverbrocket and it doesn't have reverb, but has an echo unit? whatever that is.  Did yours have all octal tubes?
