Need short reverb tank recommendation.

It's actually cheaper than purchasing a kit or buying the parts separately because the cabinet alone will run you approx $180-$225. The problem is most of these small all tube heads aren't wide enough to fit the standard 2 Spring Tank in a 6G15. Any suggestions on a small wider amp OR a slightly shorter tank? Thanks. Top

I already own a surfybear reverb pedal so I won't be using the tank that comes with it. I saw your post and thought you may like this mod. The amp has gotten tons of great reviews, I did a lot of research before buying it.

One is a Brown Note 22W Dumble Clone that I built after purchasing the chassis and what ever parts I didn't have. The amp sounds great, has a really nice tone circuit but no reverb. Another is a Princeton Clone chassis that is more than 22W's that I built combining circuits from Princeton, Deluxe, and Twin. Another is a Mid + 60's Princeton BF with beefier Power and Output x'formers and a lot of modes because it was in bad shape when I got it. I need another Small Amp Head to use as a Donor to convert it to a Fender 6G15 Reverb Unit, hence the question about the Tanks. I don't want to rebuild an amp and get shortchanged on the tank side.

I figured by the time I purchase an amp, do a lot of work and who knows what else I'd be better off getting the reissue and doing a few simple mods. Top
