Allen Tube Reverb

Post by dreric »

Hi guys

One of my first adventures in to tube was to build a few Allen kits. I build the Tube Reverb and the Class Act. Doug Doppler used the reverb in several of his Geartunes.com clips and people tend to dig the sound. I had to open it up to do some tolex repair so i took some pictures. Apparently these are no longer offered by Allen, so I'm posting. I was told by Allen that it's a straight up clone of the Fender Reverb unit.

There is nothing to forgive; it looks gorgeous! A very nice, clean-looking build. You can be rightly proud! Well done!

What everyone else said! Fantastic build, Eric! :)

I've been wanting to do one of these for a while and seeing this one is inspiring me.
