I was looking at the Vibro King schematic and I have some questions about it.
Am I correct that the signal goes straight into the Reverb circuit...and then the output of the Reverb circuit is blended/mixed with a buffered (but not amplified) version of the input signal...then it goes through the FX loop...and then it goes into the 'first stage' (which obv isn't the 'first' stage anymore...but it's what would typically be a Fender first stage)? And from there it's pretty much a typical Fender circuit (aside from the Tremolo...which may or may not be 'standard' for Fender...I dunno) except a bunch of values have been tweeked?
Just curious if I'm reading this right. It's...different. I have a Fender chassis that I've breadboarded stuff in and I was thinking of gutting it and making something like this. Any help appreciated.
PS - My amp/chassis is much lower voltage than a VK so I'm thinking the EL84-reverb will not be a problem. I've heard the VK takes that EL84 to it's limits in the stock amp...although a friend has an early one that he's gigged with for years and it's still got the original EL84 tube.
