    Yes, the Ibanez is an original. As I said, it is a battery only model from before the days of 9VDC power supplies... so before I can try it I need to find a 9V battery...

    The reverb unit is not a pedal. It's just a circuit board (from the magazine ETI) haphazardly loaded with parts and a 10" spring box attached via some 20cm lengths of wire... just the guts really. I remember getting it sometime in the early eighties and by the looks of it I doubt that I put the parts on the board as they are dressed/mounted differently to how I prefer. I need to find a circuit so I can re-identify the in's and out's and know what voltage should be feeding it. I'm guessing it is most likely 12VDC or 2x9V.... lots of odd tracks and wires to nowhere and nil pots attached makes me think this was ingloriously ripped out of an amp so it may take some work to get it going...

    Sounds like an interesting project, I was doing some internet browsing and found a pdf of a build manual for building a Tube-driven Spring reverb into a 19 inch rack case, building one is on my "to do" projects list.

    Just had a look at the pics you posted, I think there may be a circuit diagram for it floating around on the internet somewhere, I'll keep an eye out for it mate.
