    This project emulates the Fender 6G15 tube reverb circuit using analog FET technology with the same topology and principles as the original.

    The tubes in the original schematic are replaced with JFETs/MOSFETs and the output transformer with a current source. The circuit is all Class A.

    Components used include transistors, capacitors, resistors, pots, jacks and screws.

    The Fender 6G15 Reverb has been used on thousands of recordings and countless live performances since the
    early 1960’s, when the first version appeared on the music scene.

    This project is NOT another solid state reverb! This is emulation of the 6G15 with analog FET technology using
    the same topology and principles as the original.

    Basically, the tubes in the original schematic are replaced with JFETS/MOSFETs and the output transformer
    with a current source. The circuit is all Class A, is optimized for a tube-like harmonic content, have input
    protection and is using a standard 12V DC power supply adapter.

    * For reducing the gain, add resistor in the range 10k – 100k ohm

    For optimum performance:

     Use shielded (metal) box.


     Keep all wires short.
     Use a well regulated 12V DC power supply.
