Have an amp I bought in 1965 in San Rafael, CA. It is a "Deluxe" not Deluxe Reverb, pic attached. Only one I have ever seen, still works, changed the tubes last year, the old ones were still working. Changed the speaker, still have the Jensen 12" that came in it, still works, have had it re-coned a couple of times. I have not found a reverb unit that I really like to connect to it since I traded my tweed unit several years ago. Can anyone suggest a reverb unit that would have the comparable sound to the Fender reverb?
Well, I can't figure out how to attach an image, instructions appreciated.

I don't think you can go wrong with Fender's own 6G15 stand-alone reverb tank -- either an original or a re-issue. It's still pretty much the industry standard.

Welcome to the forum ! I like my Weber 5G15. But if you're looking for built units: Uncle Spot, Kendrick, and Fender 6G15. Tried the new production Fender unit, the reverb was fine. But it contributed more gain than I was interested in. Art

Analog? Digital? Need something that sits well in front of the amp? Looking for something that does better in an fx loop? i.e. Can handle line or instrument levels? Ballpark idea of what you want to spend? :?:

I bought one of these to go in front of my 57 Twin Tweed and it works quite well,

The EH Holy Grail doesn't sound too bad for a cheapie. It can't take the place of a tube Fender unit though. It depends on the amount of cash you want to invest.

Thanks for all the input guys, think I will try the Mr. Springy next, fits into my budget and sounds great, at least on the video. Have tried Holy Grail and am now using the reverb from a Boss ME-6 pedal, barely adequate.
