Reverb sounds Beautiful,lush and Full with a 3-Spring Tank,its way much better than a 12AX7 one Tube Reverb !

Nice build!

I like the ECL82 idea for the reverb, it certainly economizes on socket space.

Gibson used the similar solution for the reverb in their Falcon amps from '60.
7199 tube was used, triode + pentode in one tube.

Don´t knew that before,first I try a 12AX7 Reverb,but Tube was driven much outer Limits,so I end up calculate loadlines for the ECL82 and decide to go with it,much better,technically and musicallly.
