Title: One Tube 6GW8 Reverb
Post by: TIMBO on January 09, 2016, 04:12:50 am

Hi guys,This one tube 6GW8 reverb has been used in the Diason Hybrid amp that I posted  http://el34world.com/Forum/index.php?topic=19108.0 (http://el34world.com/Forum/index.php?topic=19108.0)
This circuit works very well with plenty of reverb.
It possibly has too much reverb so adding a dwell pot might tame the boing, I will try a 220k/500p combo at the foot sw. as well.
I have used the fender reverb driver and 8ohm tank with the 6GW8 with good results.

I like the simplicity of that circuit. The tube is a bit pricey though.

Marshall 25w Specialists used that tube for reverb.
