Deluxe Reverb build reverb and trem not working
« 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:
A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!

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


did you build a kit  or assemble the parts yourself?
