Adding a Reverb Tank In An Amp Without Reverb?
I know there's an Add-A-Verb unit - the real thing. But...the absolute ideal would be a unit I could add the would use jacks so I could plug it into the FX loop, making it switchable. Is there an easy way to power a standard tank, so I could mount it inside a cab?
Thanks

It's called a "reverb pedal". Or a rack mounted effect. I don't think there's anything like what you're describing, or I'd have a few by now.
 You could buy one of those Belton reverb blocks and build a SS 'verb unit in a small chassis to mount in your amp... That's something I'm considering to avoid adding extra tubes and circuitry to my existing builds.

Yeah - I get the pedal idea Mike, but I can't believe I'm the only kid in class who thinks a inside mounted unit that I can run through an FX loop with no muss, no fuss, isn't the cat's ass. The pedals are fine but I've been looking and can't find any ground between hard-wired into the circuit and a $700 stand alone Fender/Vox/Guyatone/whatever. I wonder what it would take to add power to a reverb tank, like they used to have in organs (no, not human organs).

I knew someone mounted a Microverb into the back of his combo. Pretty small. Here's a pic of what I think he had.

Frank,
Check the Belton site. They have a manual for the digi-log that includes a circuit. That's what I'm thinking. You could also easily use a real spring reverb tank with an op-amp circuit like the one shown. Van Amps Reverb Mate uses this idea. Some of the Marshalls use this as well as my old Dean Markley CD-60. Might check out their schematics for ideas. If I come up with something else, I'll keep you posted.

What they said. You need a CIRCUIT to drive the tank and recover the signal. The effects loop return MIGHT work for recovery, but only a pre-emphasized (treble boosted because the tank looses a lot of highs) driver with proper impedance will drive a tank.
No free lunch here.
