6g15 Fender reverb unit

[Colas LeGrippa]

Hi my friends,I plan to build a Fender external reverb unit and I am wondering if I can substitute the 6k6gt tube for another one  (eg 6V6gt) with the same efficiency.
Thanks for comments

yes

Could you add tremolo with this 6AV6 circuit based on Rob Rob's 1/2 tube circuit?  I have been thinking about building one but I would like tremolo too.

Yes, and decrease the cathode resistor for the 6V6 (1k is way too cold).

Do I have the pinout right for the 6AV6?

If you are dreaming of adding tremolo, take a look at Hoffman's Revibe.

Ok thanks

Yes, and decrease the cathode resistor for the 6V6 (1k is way too cold).

1K works very well in Revibe

1kΩ works very well in the original 6G15 reverb units.

They don't need "max power output" (1 watt +/- is good enough), and they need to not-distort even on strong signals (the schematic shows 24v of bias).
