Reverb for project valve amp

I'd get a kit with a reverb. You won't fit the extra valves in the kit's chassis so you'll have to have separate chassis for the reverb's circuitry, match the B+ voltages, and fit the tank in your case too.

You could maybe fit the accutronics belton brick in your kit. It's a reasonably good digital reverb made by the guys who make spring reverb tanks in an attempt to get that same sound. I like it, but many don't. Support circuitry is pretty small, but solid state. It won't thunder when you hit the amp though.
 
Or you might do what most tube amp makers do (Peavey/Laney/Marshall/etc.) and add an SS reverb circuit there.
Here's how Fender does it: slams the reverb circuit between the full tube pre and power amp.
No big deal, after all it's an effect.
