I finally got an OR120 and I'm looking for an Orange Reverb Unit to complete my rig. There doesn't appear to be anything for sale on ebay or reverb or the usual online shops, so if anyone has or knows of a reverb unit for sale please let me know.

Thanks!!!

They're super rare.

You may have better luck finding a schematic (And you'll already need a lot of luck for that....) And getting someone to build one for you.

No idea if they're actually any good, but I think they're the only thing that will work with the send and return of old OR80/120.

If you do track one down and get it, be sure to post!

I have the schematic for the solidstate reverb (although were they all SS?)

I saw one on Denmark Street a few years ago....

Nice Wiring Schematic Billy, Thanks for sharing that.

I've seen two different reverb units from orange.
Solid State from the mid 70s and then I've seen tube reverb units from the early Orange/Matamp days.

I have one of the solid state versions.

Everything I have ever read about these tells you to put them in the effects loop but I think it sounds so much better in front of the amp.

Hey y’all, I found one! I spent the bulk of my retirement on it. It’s a cool sounding reverb, for sure. The only weirdness I have found is that I lose a fair amount of gain when I use the echo send/return. Anyone else notice that? I’ll make a video soon and share with the forum.
