Victoria Amplifier Co. Reverbarato

it is an outboard reverb/vibrato unit.

sound quality is great, no tone loss. The reverb is great, not over the top as with the Fender outboard unit. Doesn't get crazy splashy, unless you want it to. I really like it. Seems less like an effect, and just part of the sound. The Vibrato is real cool. At first I thought it was a little too vibey, as opposed to tremelo, but the sound has really grown on me. Its as described, very lush and greasy. Has a little bit of a leslie speaker feel to it, really nice. One you use it for a few gigs, you really come to love it. Its not noisy at all.

Haven't had it long enough, but if its like anything else I have from Vitoria, it will be very reliable. One thing, I dont think it has the spring lock down like the Fender unit. But I'm sure it wont be a problem.

Marks always been very helpful. As I've said earlier, never had any problems. But Mark very good at answering my questions when I call.

a real lot of money for an effect (as Mark says himself), but it really is cool. Thats why it took me two years of lusting for it, to buy it. I also like the fact that if I'm going to carry an outboard unit, that it has two effects in one. I think the vibrato section is the part that cost Victoria all the money to make. If it was lost, I would get another. This is the best reverb I've ever had. Pedals cant touch it, and I much prefer it to the Fender unit. The Vibrato is really cool as well. Lush and greasy, as described. The slow and fast settings are both excellent. I wish the slowest speed were a little slower, but once I start I song it always sounds great. This unit will really thicken up your sound with these two effects. But it wont sound like an effcts unit, just part of your sound. Its very versatile for what it is. If you can bring yourself to spend the dough, it really is a very nice, top quality setup. I couldn't give it a 10, because I dont know that you could call a $1400 verb/vibrato unit a fantastic value. But as Mark says, he feels like he is stuffing the unit full of folding money every time one goes out.

All-tube reverb + tremolo outboard unit. Low and high inputs. Reverb controls: dwell, level, tone. Tremolo controls: intensity, speed. Tubes: 4x12ax7, 1x12at7, rectifier. Comes with a footswitch for reverb and tremolo. The footswitch jack is a bit difficult to access.

I use the unit with a Victoria 35115 tweed Pro. The reverb sounds like reverb in a great blackface Fender amp. I have owned a RI Fender '63 Tube Reverb unit and the reverb in Reverberato is much better. It is not not splashy and it doesn't sound, as it were pasted on the guitar sound. With three controls you are able to dial in different reverbs.

The tremolo is just unbelievable, the best sounding tremolo I have ever tried, period. It reminds me of Magnatone tremolo, because in addition to the amplitude the tremolo seems to affect the pitch as well (like vibrato). Really cool!

I got the unit a week ago, so I cannot comment on this. All Victorias are built from high-quality components and the workmanship is outstanding. Therefore, I don't expect to have any problems with this unit.

I'm a direct customer and have always dealt directly with Mark Baier. Couldn't be any better: Mark has answered all my emails regarding various technicl questions etc. same or next day.

I've been playing for 25 years and use Victoria amps exclusively.

Basically 2 features: reverb and tremelo..high and low inputs. Wish it came with a footswitch. It is what it is..the best of the Fender Reverb and Tremelo units in one package.

Using it with my '72 Tele, Super-Strat w/Texas Specials and a '68 335. This is a new option for me. Bought it to complement 45-410 by Victoria I purchased earlier.This thing really sings..when used with discretion it really fills out the sound. The reverb is enveloping and lush. Never used Trem much but when set in a sublte way really fills out the sound and makes the Tele 3 dimensional. Play mostly blues,country and rock. Have run my acoustics thru this unit with a hint of reverb and they sound very rich..nice feature for live situations.

I have had this unit for 2 mos so reliability is not an issue yet. I however do not believe it will be..this is my second unit. The first one had a problem..I called Mark Baier at Victoria and played the unit over the phone for him. His response was to tell me to box the unit I had and he would have it picked up and he sent me out a new unit that very day. No Fuss- No Muss! Can't possibly ask for more than that. I've read some complaints about Victoria's customer service.. I have none. If only every one I deal with was that conscientious my world would be a better place!!!!

Covered this above..They were great and have always been whether I email or call.

Been playing a long time. I own some stuff and am in a place in my life where I can finally afford the "good stuff". I do my homework before I buy and I am very critical. I own their 45410 Bassman,SWR bass rig, Sadowsky bass,Taylor and Santa Cruz acoustic guitars,blah,blah. Point being I am not a newby to the equipment arms race and I would definitely buy this unit again. It is expensive but it does what it does better than any of the stomp boxes I tried. As I said earlier...it would be great if they put a foot switch with it. Had to buy a Fender switch from my local dealer..cheap Mexican manufacture. That being said I must confess I that I love this thing.

Spring reverb and tube tremelo. Tremelo has to be my favorite effect. I used to have a Colorsound Tremelo, but I sold it and I've been searching forever for a new tremelo. Fortunately I was also searching for a spring reverb as well.

I play it with a 1957 Fender, a minimoog, an Electron SidStation, a Sequential Prophet 2000, and vocals. It's absolutely fantastic. I found my perfect tremelo setting after an evening of toying with it. The reverb part was new to me. I never liked the 70's Fender Twin that I used to own. This sounded nothing like it. I do hear splashes and wobbles when I mute pick or on ping harmonics, but I knew that before I bought. Just a thing to get used to. I'm not into clean effects. I like it to have character, and this thing has it in spades. It's dark sounding, which is what I lean to for my pure woody Fender guitar tone. I like Hendrix, Frusciante and Portishead guitar sounds. I'm into basic licks with warm, dark tones.

I bought it brand new. It worked perfectly out of the box. I intend for it to stay that way. I have no opinion yet.

They don't do e-mail very well. Phone calls usually work. Since they stopped making these, I asked for it to be autographed. They obliged. Pretty cool, eh? E-mail is what people like, but they aren't very responsive to it. They only update their website once a year, I think. Nice people, though.

With synths and vintage guitars, it sounds great. I've been playing for a little over 10 years. If it were stolen, errr... they don't make these anymore, so I guess I'd be outta' luck. There is nothing else out there that comes close, in construction and sound. 'Cept if you had plate reverb.

This is the all-tube reverb/tremelo unit made by Victoria. It has 2 inputs, tone, level and dwell for the reverb, plus speed and intensity for the tremelo. It has a jack that allows both effects to be footswitched. I use this unit in front of a Victoria Double Deluxe; a great match. My unit is covered in light brown tolex with the wheat grill. It also has a hole cut out in the bottom so it can rest on top of your amp where your amp handle sticks up. I only wish mine was tweed ( to match my amp ) and that the tremelo could be capable of some slower speeds. It goes slow enough, but just barely. I talked to Mark at Victoria about this and he said that maybe it could be adjusted, but that is part of the old circuit design. As far as these units go, I've found it to be very versatile.

I usually play Les Pauls, Strats and Teles. I love the sound of my amp by itself, but had an opportunity to play a Reverbarato and fell in love. My favorite 2 effects are vibe and tremelo, so the unit really spoke to me. First, the reverb sounds great and is very flexible. You can dial in any verb sound you can imagine. However, the tremelo is unlike any I have ever experienced. It is warm, fat and has a very slight, liquidy vibe sound that is obviously hard to describe. I own a Prescription Throb pedal, a Diaz Tremadillo, a Fulltone Supatrem and an old Boss Trem/Pan. All these units sound good, but the Reverbarato is truly superior. It is also suprising how much music you can use the effect on. It has taken the place of both my tremelo and vibe unit on my board. No need for them now, just straight into the Reberbarato for the best pulse around. It has an incredible effect on a high gain sound as well.

Super consruction! I've never had a problem with any Vicky stuff. You should see the parts and components inside this thing. Mark at Victoria said that it was nearly like building an amp, and that they take a lot of time to construct. Maybe that's why these units are hard to come by--I know he doesn't buid a lot of them cause they must be a pain in the ass to put together.

Mark is friendly and helpful, although he's a busy guy. I'm just glad he took the time to build this unit, cause i'm not letting it go. He was back ordered on these and I finally tracked down a used (but mint) one. They can be hard to find, but the trem sound cannot be duplicated by anything else currently made.

I have been playing for over 25 years and gig several times per month. This has been a great addition to my rock/blues/r&b/jazz rig. If it were stolen or lost, I would find another. It is hands down the best reverb/tremelo box I've ever heard. It is expensive for what it is supposed to do, but when you hear what it does--that's another story.

Piont to piont wired all tube reverb/vibrato unit. With early narrow panel Fender styling

Playin it mostly in front of a plexi Marshall head stuck in a 2-12 bluesbreaker cab.Strat And a few overdrives.If you have ever heard the vibrato in a61 Fender Pro/vibrasonic then you know what this thing sounds like. If you haven't then let me tell you.Heavenly.I've had a few tremolo peddles(Fulltone,boss)Good peddles,sold them the week I got the reverbarato. Needed the money after buying this thing!The reverb function is also great copied probably off the reverb circuit in a Fender Super reverb amp.The unit itself takes peddles realy well throw any overdrive at it and it enhances the sound even more.Put a little bit of intensity on the vibrato,it thickens up leads in a way that is indescribable, just awesome tone.

My unit developed a short I took it apart ,found a loose solder joint.Worked after that.

Called the guy after I got it and told him how great it was ,talked to him about it he seemed very helpfull cosidering how buisy he must be.Every thing this guy makes is the real deal.

I dont think I could live without it in my own rig.If it got stolen(God forbid)I would have another one.
