I looked quite along time for one of these---when they did come along---they were out of range for me. Got lucky this time. Came today. Still messing with it (needs a cleaning)

Right now I have it thru my Bandmaster. I will try it out on the Bassman this weekend. Right now I have a Diaz Reverb/Vibrato unit on the Bassman (photo included).

What is a reverberator and what did it cost?

It's a reverb unit and vibrato unit. Has very nice vibrato. Doubt I'll use it for the Bandmaster as the BM has it's own killer Vibrato. I bought it for home use - mainly for the Bassman. I'll use the Diaz for gigs etc.,--- I paid $1100.

The vibrato on this unit - as well as my Diaz - are based off the early 60's Brown Pro. Which I believe is Harmonic. It's been a while since I read thru all that. I got these units after asking a lot of questions about certain vibrato's I had heard. For me---there is nothing else than this type of vibrato. The reverbs on the Reverberato and the Diaz aren't earth shattering - a cave like if you ask me - but I just roll it down. I wish I was more tech savvy to get into the nuts and bolts - and record the units to post here. If any one is in the Chicago area - you're more than welcome to try them out.
