fold back reverbs

SteveRfold back reverbs
Hi,  
 
 
 
I was just reading about power amp fold back reverbs in Kevin O'Connor's book and was wondering if anyone has built, used, or heard one of these.  
 
 
 
He didn't come right out and say it, but at one point pretty strongly implied that this kind of reverb implementation doesn't sound very good.  
 
 
 
I imagine that it can't sound as good as the "classic" reverb design otherwise the fold-back type would BE the classic. However, I want to put reverb in a project but don't really have space or filament power for two more tubes and transformer. I don't really need Dick Dale surf reverb, and I wouldn't mind saving 50 bucks either.  
 
 
 
Any thoughts?  
 
 
 
Thanks  
 
 
 
SteveR
