Why external reverbs

I'm just trying to give a manufacturers perspective in trying to offer an affordable steel amplifier. Not trying to be hard to deal with at all. I guess that if a musician had an unlimited budget, manufacturers reps(such as myself) would not even read this post. Unfortunately, the high dollar products that it would take to design an amp such as is described here would still end with a total high dollar price anyway that you look at it.

Thanks for the feedback and for the support. Actually, our line of work is very gratifying in that we see what the results are. Many jobs do not provide that type of feedback.

Thank you very much.

My first PA was a PA6A! Wow, had not thought about that one in years. It was awesome and so much PA for the bucks.

My thanks thanks to Peeavey as well for such great products and innovations. Here is a company that has always lent an ear to the musician's wants and needs!

I'll take a stand alone Fender three knob reverb over digital any day. You just have to know how to set them up.

Good time for this story. We were high school kids playing a dance in the gym, and we always started "Back in the USSR" with someone kicking the small Fender reverb unit (closest sound to a jet taking off we could muster)....
Well, we start the song, the the singer kicks the unit... nothing, he kicks it again (and we're stuck on the rhythm vamp it starts with).... now the singer is kicking the unit all the way acorss the stage....
yep, he finally turned it on, we got our boom, and finally starting singing.
