The Surfy Bear Fet Reverb

• New Topic

stratdancer Joined: Dec 11, 2013 Posts: 2533 Akron, Ohio	Posted on Jul 06 2014 05:27 PM Hopefully this hasn't been covered already. I did try to do a search and it didn't come up so hopefully I don't get yelled at for starting this thread. Anyway, I found this Fetverb reverb unit which is supposed to be a G-15 clone and the guy that makes them. Anybody know anything about this circuit? http://surfybear.weebly.com/new-pcb-and-kit.html — The Kahuna Kings https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Kahuna-Kings/459752090818447 https://thekahunakings.bandcamp.com/releases Top
JakeDobner Joined: Feb 26, 2006 Posts: 12159 Seattle	Posted on Jul 06 2014 05:36 PM It sounds pretty good, the drippy parts sounded tighter, which is good. But the chords didn't sound as good on that unit. There are my thoughts from the samples on the site. Worth the $68 + tank, in my opinion. Top
stratdancer Joined: Dec 11, 2013 Posts: 2533 Akron, Ohio	Posted on Jul 06 2014 05:44 PM That's what I was thinking. The guy makes them in Sweden and can ship it to my house here in the states for about 85 bucks total. Seems like a bargain. — The Kahuna Kings https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Kahuna-Kings/459752090818447 https://thekahunakings.bandcamp.com/releases Top

crumble Joined: Sep 09, 2008 Posts: 3158 Guildford England	Posted on Jul 07 2014 05:59 AM Just wondering if Bjorn took his reverb unit to the Surfer Joe Festival this year, he thanked Lorenzo for his help in another thread here so I'm guessing he might of demonstrated it. I'm curious of people's reaction and hope it went well. Top
Surfgitar Joined: Mar 16, 2007 Posts: 1342 Ft. Lauderdale, Florida	Posted on Jul 07 2014 12:11 PM FWIW - I ordered one of these from Bjorn. I was intrigued by the other thread and have been looking for (yet) another alternative to my tank. The sound samples sounded decent, I've have spare pans laying around and I like easy DIY electronic projects. Bjorn was easy to deal with, communicated well and shipped fast. Now I'm just waiting for inspiration to strike to complete the darn thing. — CUTBACK Top

Ariel Joined: Aug 29, 2009 Posts: 1556 Israel	Posted on Jul 07 2014 01:28 PM Bjorn was fantastic to deal with! Sent me the kit right away. Very nice and responsive. The circuit looks great and seems like an easy project. Not plugged in yet, in the ugliest temporary chassis, waiting for a MOD pan and some parts. I have some far reaching ideas for the enclosure though... Last edited: Jul 07, 2014 13:31:26 Top

Here's the cabinet it's going in. 20 US dollars for the tool box. I'm going to order a Revisit pan here in the States. I'd like a Tad but not available here. — The Kahuna Kings https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Kahuna-Kings/459752090818447 https://thekahunakings.bandcamp.com/releases Top

bjoish Joined: Jul 06, 2010 Posts: 596 Stockholm	Posted on Jul 08 2014 08:24 AM Awesome to see all the posts about my little project ! A lot of creative minds in work Yes, I took my prototype to the Surfer Joe festival. Lorenzo was enthusiastic, but it was a busy weekend and unfortunately we had no opportunity to test reverb units. But it was a fantastic festival anyway! First time for me. Ludobag, I am looking forward to see your reverb cabinet! (I know you are a very good guitar builder) /Björn Top
