Hi guys,
I'm not an expert on this subject, but I understood that its quite
difficult to build a reverb unit, esp because it's an unstable
circuit. So my advice would be in any case to stick as close to the
original layout.. a B+ in the wrong place can cause a lot of trouble.
both circuit and layout for fender reverb is available at
schematicheaven, ampwares probably has 'em too.
I once had this plan, and made a part list to see what it would cost.
I included the costs for a Fender style housing. It ended up being
almost as expensive as buying a unit. I ended up bying an italian
made cosmoverb for 430 euros (new, built after fender 60's specs).
dont know exactly how much DIY was, but the difference was way less
then 100 euro's, and thats assuming you get everything right the
first time. So just make sure beforehand that it's actually worth it.
good luck though, I'd love to see how it turns out!
