Re: 76' Reverb Tank

supertwangreverb - 02 Nov 2005 13:17:35

The 76-78 Fender Reverb Tanks were Fenders first "reissues" of the
tank. The reverb driver on the '76 is a 6V6, where as the old ones
had a 6K6GT. I've heard the '76-78s had a slightly different
schematic. I remember hearing that the '76-78s had something that
once you'd unplug the input it would be cut off. So if you were to
kick it while it was just plugged into the amp you'd get no crash.
The original ones would crash if your guitar was plugged into it or
not. Is that true?
