Re: 76' Reverb Tank

darklsurf - 02 Nov 2005 22:27:17

This is my first tank, so I think it sounds great. I just got it working today
and haven't
played with the band yet. As far as I can tell it sounds like the tones I hear
on record.
Wow! I hear reverb on the lower registers now. Pretty cool. All of you were
right about
the onboard units not being the same. Our bass player (a gear collector) has an
63'
and a later model 65'-66'(?) tank and we'll do a Pepsi challenge to see if
there's a
difference.
One thing I noticed that's a bit strange to me is that the 6V6 tube touches the
tank. Is
that normal? Shouldn't the tank be comepletely free to twang?
Haven't tried the unplugged "crash" test yet Bill, but I'll let you know.
Being a strip board wired amp, it does offer some flexibility to modify it, but
I'd rather
be playing. If I decide to put a 6K6 in there, do I need to modify anthying
else? Or just
plug and play?

See this post in context.
