Re: Reissue Fender Reverb Unit Mods

Brian Neal (xarxas) - 01 Dec 2001 12:36:44

Count me in the converted category. I installed some NOS tubes last
night and immediately noticed the difference. The harshness is gone.
Before the change, setting anything above 6 or 7 was getting harsh.
Now the controls have much more range. At first I thought I had lost
some reverb, but then I simply turned some knobs up a bit and it came
back, only this time it didn't have that edge to it.
While changing the tubes I also noticed that I had the pan in the
locked position the whole time! I unlocked it and it didn't seem to
make much difference to the reverb, which was kind of odd. Except now
kicking the unit produces a much more impressive crash that lasts a
lot longer :^)

See this post in context.
