INITIAL TESTING:
To begin our initial tests, we need only a few missing pieces to complete the
whole reverb kit.
• A good 9VDC source such as a battery or a regulated supply. Any
power supply may be used, but if of low quality, may introduce hum into
the circuit.
• Suitable connectors for power, speaker, mike or RCA to RCA
connectors.
• A speaker, stereo receiver, or mike.
[ ] 1. Verify that all parts are mounted and soldered in the correct places.
[ ] 2. Make sure the power switch is turned off. Plug in the 9VDC battery or
regulated 9VDC supply to the battery connector.
[ ] 3. Plug your speaker in J4, or if using a Hi-Fi set up, “tape in” left into J3
and “tape in” right in J4.
[ ] 4. Plug your microphone into J2, or if using a Hi-Fi set up, “tape out” left
into J1, and right into J2.
[ ] 5. Turn the duration control and amplitude controls fully clockwise.
[ ] 6. Turn the attenuation control clockwise (volume down).
[ ] 7. Turn the speed control fully clockwise for maximum delay.
[ ] 8. Turn on your Hi-Fi receiver if you are using one, and then your kit.
Make sure that your receiver's tape selector is switched on. This routes
the audio signal out through the “tape out” jacks of your receiver through
the RV1 back to the “tape in” jacks of your receiver. Play some music or
speak into the mike, you should hear some audio out, along with some
reverb. If you do not hear anything, adjust the volume controls on your
receiver or kit. If you still do not, go to the troubleshooting section of the
manual.
[ ] 9. If you are hearing reverb effects, you are all set to go! Try adjusting the
controls on the kit to see what effects you can get. Some will sound like
you are in a tube, while others will sound like you are on the moon!
