| 18 watt Stout with Reverb and Hotswitch |

The 18 Watt stout project was such a
great success that I decided to go ahead and design
a Stout with reverb. The amp sounds great and
has reverb, how can you beat it? The reverb circuit
is based on a Fender combo reverb circuit but the
Stout does not have the deep Fender reverb that a
Fender combo has. If you are expecting surf quality
reverb, this circuit does not produce that type of
reverb. The amp has an extra stage of gain and all
that is needed is some ambience. This reverb circuit
does that just fine. If you look at a Fender reverb
schematic you will see that there are two stages of
gain before the signal splits off and is sent to the
reverb loop. The stout only has one stage of gain
before being sent to the reverb circuit and so the
reverb is toned down and not as dramatic as a Fender
combo. It sounds just fine to me for an amp with higher
gain. You cannot use a ton of reverb for higher gain
amps, the reverb needs to be very slight and subtle
in this type of amp. You can also build this project with the Hot switch mod on full time and no relay. Personally, I leave the Hot switch on full time. The project would be a bit easier without the relay power supply and relay. See the library page for the Schematics and Layout diagrams. |
