Fender Quad Reverb - Normal preset

Verified · 84/100 confidence. Complete schematic. All component values readable. Parameters derived directly from the circuit.

This is the early-1970s silverface 100-watt reverb circuit used in the Quad Reverb 4×12 combo and its Twin Reverb and Dual Showman Reverb siblings. Normal and Vibrato channels each have Volume, Treble, Middle, Bass and a bright switch. A 12AT7 drives the spring reverb and a 12AX7A runs the bias vibrato; a plain master volume, without the later push-pull boost, feeds a 12AT7 phase inverter and four fixed-bias 6L6GCs on a silicon rectifier.

Known for: Albert Collins.
