I wouldn't call it output distortion... it DOES drive the output stage a bit harder and will allow earlier breakup. This applies only to amps with tube driver/recovery stages for the reverb tank. It doesn't add another gain stage in series, rather, it's paralleled like an effects loop. The reverb circuit is quite lossy, so there's quite a bit of gain in the driver/recovery circuits (usually one triode on the input side and two triodes or a full 12AX7 on the output side). The reverb control normally adjusts how much reverb is added to the mix, but with the pins shorted, adjusts how much gain you want from this source.

LS> LS>I'm not the moderator, but I would like to read more :-))))) A crazy comedian named Martin Mull (who's also a very good guitarist, conveniently enough) had a comedy record years back called _Martin Mull's Fabulous Furniture_. One song was supposed to be a Blues song sung by a guy who was "rich white people from Shaker Heights, Ohio". Okay, Comedians Who Play Stringed Instruments: There was George Gobel, who played a big, red Gibson. Super-400? I dunno, but I think there was a Geo. Gobel model, like there was a Trini Lopez model. Steve Martin played a pretty good banjo (should have played a Martin).

You have to put a resistor (470K is usually recommended) between the jacks. It works fine on my Bandmaster Reverb. --- Michiana Mail Center * Origin: CW Technical Support - South Bend, IN - (219) 272-8129 (1:227/129)
