The “Ultimate” Super Reverb. Please note that many of the pictures were taken during the years that it was built.Here’s a list of what I got in it at the present time: - AB763 circuit - WeberVST 6A40 Chassis & Fiberboard - Original NOS Fender Rear Panel - V1/V2 - GT-12AX7M - V3 – GT-12AT7 - V4/V5 – GT-12AX7R - V6 – GT-12AT7 Matched Phase Inverter - GT-6L6GE output tubes - GT-5U4 tube rectifier - All Mercury Magnetics Transformers - CTS Pots - Switchcraft ¼” jacks - Gold Solid Pin RCA Connectors - Ceramic base tube sockets - Spring Tube Retainers on the Octal Tubes - Shielded spring retainers on all the others - Carling Switches - Vishay 1% Metal Film Resistors - Metal Oxide resistors in output section - Sozo, Mallory 150 and Silver Mica capacitors - Sprague Electrolytics and Sprague Atom PSU capacitors - Tip/Ring/Sleeve Bias Connector on back in place of Ground Switch - Knob Bias Control on top of chassis - 3 Spring Accutronics Reverb Tank - Wired with 600V 18Ga. Shellac Coated Cloth Covered Wire - JD Newell finger jointed pine cabinet with ¾” Birch 10 ply baffle board - Jensen Alnico speakers When you want to try something different, swap out the 6L6’s for a set of KT-66’s. If you want more headroom, change the 5U4 to a 5AR4 which will increase the plate voltage and give you more power. Bias is completely adjustable from the outside of the Chassis. Just plug a Stereo ¼” plug into the back jack and with a voltmeter you can measure the plate current of each tube while turning the bias control (Fender knob under the chassis) with your hand. No screwdriver necessary. So what does it sound like? With single coil pickups you get clean bell like tones right up to the point of clipping, then it just sings the blues. With Humbuckers it’s a totally different amp – big, bold and ballsy. The 5U4 sags perfectly when pushed and sustains those searing bends like a Deluxe on Steroids. Both channels gains match perfectly so you can use either or double them up for even more gut wrenching power and tone and the Sozo tone stacks really give the tone controls smooth responsive action. The balanced Phase Inverter in conjunction with the 6L6GE’s makes the output symmetry exactly the same for a smooth transition from clean to distortion. There you have it the “Ultimate” Super Reverb.
