Guitar/Electronics Help - Making a Reverb Pedal

[Evil]

Okay, so my new amp doesn't have a built in reverb and I've got a few tanks lying around and I thought why not make a reverb tank into a pedal. Good ol' springs.

I looked for information on how tanks are split and panned and whatnot, but I can't find any information on them. So, I've had to make some conclusions myself.

There are two possible ways that I've concluded that it could work. Really, it's just a matter of placement of the boost and how it's panned.

The first idea would be to split the input into two. One side would go right to the output, and the other to the reverb tank, then to a boost pedal to limit the volume through. Then it would meet back at the output. Not really a pan, I guess. Half would be straight through, the other reverbed. I think this is how most amps use tanks.

The other idea would be to split the signal and pan between the two and add a boost to the end to add some gain to the more reverberated levels.

I made a quick MSPaint drawing.



I think that my thoughts are right, and I believe the best option would be the second, and just buy a panning pot. Really, the level won't be adjusted much and I don't plan on having an on/off switch. Just full time use, adjusted when necessary.

Are my dreams of a tanked pedal crazy? Any insight on how to go about this?


Edit: I found a small company that makes what I'm going for. And I think that this is how they do theirs, which I think is the best layout yet.



I think this is solved for the most part. Feel free to add your input. Or list your pedals or something, so I didn't waste this space. :-p

Hehe. Great you got it solved before we messed you up. Now if I had tried it, I would have done it as it was in the last one, or the first one. though as it is, I have a built in reverb still. Err... I don't think there's anything to add, but good luck with building it. Oh, and I won't list my pedals, I'll just wait for the one with all the Metalzones here under
