Re: [SurfGuitar101] Fender Reissue Reverb Unit

mctippens - 03 Nov 2001 00:21:34

I have the Fender RI reverb and was able to do a blindfold A/B with two
originals when I bought it. (I turned my back as the salesman switched
between the tanks at random). I found that the reissue affected a wider range
of tone than either the original units. It also produced more spitting sound
(due to the higher treble ability). I liked it as it was so I haven't mod'd
it.

<<I also have a fender RI reverb. Try changing 6v6 to 6k6 and 12ax7 to 5751.
I
did it and it gave me some noticible improvement. Plus the mod is cheap,
because those tubes usually sell for $1-5. I wouldnt go as far as chanigning
the cap tho.
