Implementing Belton Digilog reverb
I am thinking about experimenting with this product:
http://bit.ly/1dgflVU
I am thinking DC coupled cathode follower off the output of the preamp tube, into a voltage divider should be ok for the input
regular tube gain for recovery
I am working on a solid state amp design with a tube front end and I think a reverb tank with 400W in a combo will be a feedback disaster
thoughts?

Re: Implementing Belton Digilog reverb
There is a schematic of a tube interface for the Belton reverb floating around; I think it's accessable from the Belton website....
Your description sound exactly like the schematic I saw; it's in pdf form I believe...

Re: Implementing Belton Digilog reverb
if anyone knows how to find that let me know - looked on their site and there's only the op amp circuit drawing
with the posted specs its easy enough to sort out - I am curious to know how the thing sounds

Re: Implementing Belton Digilog reverb
hey! that sounds way better than I thought it would!
cool - time to order one up and have some fun

They do sound eerily close to a long spring tank. A friend built a pedal with one, and it sounds good.

Re: Implementing Belton Digilog reverb
Here's my version with an ECC82 as the driver and recovery. Works very well.

No gain...no pain!
Re: Implementing Belton Digilog reverb
Check out this site, under "Tube Amp Integration" - there is a zip file with some info on using this unit in a tube amp.

Re: Implementing Belton Digilog reverb
thats great info thanks!
I emailed to see if those boards are still being made, or if he still has the pcb files

Re: Implementing Belton Digilog reverb
Belton has updated the reverb module ... the new version is smaller and is hooked up differently ...
The old version is still available though

Re: Implementing Belton Digilog reverb
Rock (or anyone else, for that matter) do you know if the two different-sized modules sound indentical? If they don't, does one have better sounding reverb than the other? (I seem to recall the large does more than reverb?)rock_mumbles wrote:Belton has updated the reverb module ... the new version is smaller and is hooked up differently ...

Hello Milkman
Edit Note:
I didn’t see Ken Moon's post. That is the same info as below. Always late to the party.
I played around with these modules when they first appeared. They are just Ok IMO. I have attached the files that were made available on their web site that describe a tube driven interface and a carrier board for the reverb module.
I am in the process of building out the dual Sashimi reverb that Aaron used on his 102 build. It uses the new small modules. Haven’t heard them so i can't tell you how they sound. The large modules sound more like delay to me than reverb but that’s just my ears. A lot of people that have used them seem to be satisfied with the results but then a lot of people like Spam, me not so much.
Anyway I hope this info will help in some way.
Thanks for all you input on the forum and by the way your amps look really nice.
Regards
Randy

Re: Implementing Belton Digilog reverb
Hey guys, I am working with the guys over in the Trainwreck section to see if we can put together a simple package with a full set of schematics and boards for a drop in unit to put into the lower gain Wreck style builds... do you have any issue if we tack our work onto this thread?
I have one of the older units that I am going to use in my prototype although I expect the boards and schematics will be based on the latest production version.
Thanks,
rj
