ST-35 now what?

Postby gonobz » Mon Feb 21, 2011 5:18 pm

Hello I have a ST-35 i stuck in a fender amp that is stereo its a prinston chorus. Im using the existing digital as the preamp but I would like to build a tube preamp with reverb to feed the ST-35. Im looking for schematics or a point of direction. I play mostly blues. any ideas would be appreciated.

thanks,

tim

1)buy or build yourself a Fender 6G15-style reverb unit, you will never regret it, and if you do, sell it and lose no money http://www.triodeelectronics.com/diy-fe ... b-k15.html

2)put the st-35 back into service as a hi-fi and/or sell it; it is all wrong for electric guitar.
you can't go wrong with an Epiphone Valve Jr head, you can buy them all day for $80 or so, and they are simple, pure valve circuits that have a perfect classic "bluesy" sound at low volumes
if you're playing guitar thru an st-35, i assume you're not yet to the point of worrying about "concert" volume levels.... ;)

Wow Nyazzip, thanks for that link. Some of my customers have been bugging me for a standalone tube reverb. Now I can give them a firm price and watch them back-pedal!
