Re: Anybody added reverb to their D'Clone...? Jay:     That's what occurred to me, but I may end up with a phase problem after reverb and effects loop.         I'm not sure if you can have phase problems with a signal coming back from a reverb tank... although I always wondered about adding a phase switch to a reverb circuit just to see if it does have an effect.         With an FX loop you very well could have a phase problem because an FX patch can have a definite phase to it (unlike the signal from a reverb tank, except as noted above).     Is the problem caused by running through the Reverb mixer circuit, more of a plate loading issue at the splitter point, or both?         The load on the plate from the reverb signal is not much— on the input side of the splitter it is a 500pF cap going to a 1M grid load resistor. And I think that you can ignore the plate load factor from the other side of the 3M3/10pF splitter (the 220k resistor there plus the 470k resistor and 100k intensity pot constitute the grid load for the following stage).         So I think that the culprit is the 3M3/10pF splitter...     Steve Ahola
