Title: Blackvide Reverb dwell pot??
Post by: Jalmeida on November 30, 2023, 11:55:27 am

Hello,

So I am in the middle of planning a Blackvibe reverb with Tremolo deleted. I want to add a dwell pot to the front of a Fender style chassis, but on layout with the blackvibe board the wire run between the dwell pot and the reverb drive tube are long. I know most people put the dwell pot on the back of the chassis which shortens that run significantly.

My question is, any issues with this solution as an alternative?? Or any other suggestions for shortening this run?

Use shielded cable.

Ignorance is bliss I suppose,

I never really considered that wire run might be a potential issue, & have done both front-panel & rear-panel dwell controls, without noise.


Edit: Apparently not completely ignorant, just peaked at two front-panel dwell controls I added to find shielded cable back to the grid...
