Fairchild Reverbertron 2????

Newpaltzwonder · 17th May 2003, 03:40 AM

Has anyone ever heard of a Reverbertron 2, Fairchild model 658B? Someone gave this to me thinking I could use it for my guitar.

I did a search on the web and it turned up nothing. I'm looking for specs and diagrams on how to wire up the back.

Any help would be great.

This is why I don't know how to wire it up.

Fairchild made some of the most coveted audio gear ever made. I was once GIVEN a Fairchild compressor to use in a TV station where I worked. It was actually the first compressor I had any real time to play with. The whole time I had it I was bummed that I couldn’t adjust the slope, but didn’t mind so much because it sounded great. Years later I found out that it was worth around $10k! Wish I had it today.

I don’t know much about what you have, but I would guess that it is just the control panel for a spring or plate reverb chamber.

Hi, I have a Reverbertron II Model 659. I realise this is an old post, but as the post above states this is just one module from the "head unit" of a Reverbertron. The Head unit would then be wired to a seperate rackmount spring chamber.

Might you have the schematic for this?

Thank you.
