Do ya'll use the amp reverb on the FET 500rd or some type of pedal reverb, or maybe a rack unit like the Lexicon 110?
Also, how many use a Black box with your Evans FET 500rd?

I've tried external units and always go back to the amps reverb. I prefer a good spring reverb and the Evans FET 500's have a good 3 spring tank.
My SE-200 has built in digital reverb that sounds great. But still doesn't have the sparkle of the FET 500 as far as reverb is concerned.

| I have one from 1991 and I took out the small pan and had it replaced with a "full-size". |

| I use the reverb on my FET 500 and run a Black Box in front of it. I had the amp serviced recently and the tech commented on the reverb getting noisy when turned up, but it sounds good and doesn't bother me. I did have a 1 meg audio pot installed on the treble to make the sweep more gradual. |

Thanks ya'll. I like the amp reverb better since I got my tone dialed in, but I'm still thinkin about a lexicon reverb unit. I use a Hilton pedal for my main pedal, but have an Emmons for a backup. When I use the Emmons pedal, I have to turn the treble completely off, and it's still a little to tinny for my liking. So it's either sell the Emmons pedal and get another Hilton, or buy a Black box to take the shrill out of the highs. I'd kinda like to know what it would sound like with my Emmons pedal and a BB.

Terry - If the Black Box is a little too pricey, consider getting one of Brad's FreeLoaders. It will tame those highs that are bothering you.

Lee, I've had a black box before and really liked it. But I know nothing about the Freeloader. Has it got a tube in it like the BB, and does it have the variable z knob?

There is no tube, but it does have the variable Z knob on it.
