Title: Deluxe Reverb build reverb and trem not working
Post by: GusBasset on February 05, 2023, 12:08:58 pm

I’m building a Deluxe reverb style amp. It works, except I don’t have reverb or trem. The reverb knob does add a slight hiss when turned up. I appreciate any info.

That's a nice amp when working properly. You didn't give us much info to work with. Maybe it just needs bigger knobs.  :icon_biggrin:

Hi Gus.  Tell us more about this DR "style" build?   Please provide some pictures of the inside of the chassis and a schematic. 
Here's a source to help troubleshoot the reverb https://robrobinette.com/Tube_Guitar_Amp_Troubleshooting.htm#Spring_Reverb (https://robrobinette.com/Tube_Guitar_Amp_Troubleshooting.htm#Spring_Reverb)


did you build a kit  or assemble the parts yourself?

A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!
