- play guitar on Bright side (with reverb)
- steel on Normal side (no verb)
- vintage Twin (don't want to mod)
- Recommened Reverb/Delay/Echo to use? |

I use a Lexicon 100 MPX, set pretty dry (just my own personal taste).

I've used an Ibanez Delay III stomp with real good results. It does 'verb, slap, and echo/delay very nicely, and it has 4 controls that let you pretty much tailor the sound. Eats batteries, though, so it's best to use a wall-wart with it.
Prices are all over the place on these, though, so shop around - used ones go for $80-$250, new ones that you can still find go for $125 -$180 (yeah, that confuses me too). |

| To modify a twin so you get reverb in the normal channel is a matter of moving one wire. Any amp tech should be able to do it. It will not devalue your vintage amp. |

| The older Lexicon LXP-1, LXP-5 or a Roland RV-5. |

- "moving 1 wire"
- GOT to be a cost/trade-off somewhere? |

| I recently saw an Alesis Quadverb going for about 75 in this forum. This unit will do all of the effects you need and them some. Excellent EQ as well. |

Moving the 1 wire to get reverb on both channels is an easy modification which can always be changed back. I got the diagram from Ken Fox here on the Forum and did it. It provides reverb and vibrato/tremelo on both channels with no degradation in tone. Seems like Fender would have made that mod or at least put a switch to activate it but who knows what the thinking was. I can send the diagram to you if you want it.

| They basically did that with the 90's Vibrasonic. Also they cutout the cathode bypass cap on the first gain stage of channel 2 (Steel channel). |
