Reverb Tank Spring damping

Bob Cannistraro (bolderbobb) - 18 Sep 2005 17:26:55

I just acquired a Fender Silver Face tank - it's called a "Tube
Reverb". It sounded pretty crappy so I connected the spring unit
from
a Pro Reverb and it sounded awesome. I took it apart and found that
one of the three pieces of foam had come adrift and was probably over
dampening the springs. Do all the Fender tanks have this foam?
Anyone
tried to see what it sounds like with no foam or less foam? Can
you "tune" a tank with different foam thickness or placement? My gut
feel is that less damping will give more drip.
Any creative ideas on the best way to re-attach it? I'm thinking
contact cement or two sided tape....
Thanks for the input
