Size of the Reverb Tank...

Firetone Joined: Feb 26, 2008 Posts: 81 Copenhagen, Denmark	Posted on Apr 17 2014 02:14 AM Aloha Yall. Do you guys think it is possible to build a "Reverb tank" chasis in a smaller version than the known RI size? I bought the Gomez unit, and Mr. Boost from Los Venturas is going to do the woodshop work for me. Friends rule! Take care, and thanks — El Firetone, www.elray.dk El Ray Top

I think they stayed large for cosmetic reasons. As long as the tubes can 'breathe' and no transformer coil's EM field impinges on the function of the reverb recovery coil, I don't see why it can't be smaller. — Squink Out! Top

mike_fried Joined: Aug 02, 2012 Posts: 162 Nashville, TN	Posted on Nov 11 2014 02:01 PM One consideration re. cab size is the distance of the pan from the chassis' power transformer. You don't want the pan's transformer coils too close to it as it will induce a lot of hum! Top
