[sdiy] Neural Agonizer with Belton Reverb Brick?

[Scott Juskiw]

I don't think it would work very well. The NA is expecting real springs with a certain range of input impedance and pushes them quite hard. Also, the recovery amp is expecting an inductive source. I think you'd be able to get a reverb sound out of it, but you wouldn't be able to use the overdrive, or resonators, or even the parallel/series switch properly. You'd be better off building your own PCB using their data sheet as a starting point.
