Re: [SurfGuitar101] Re: Reverb Tank Help!

Dick Messick (flatwound01) - 20 Jul 2004 19:45:10

I think Ran has covered a lot of the potential problems . . .
I would check out the tubes and the tube holders (are they tight and making
contact with the tube pins?) - you may want to take some light gauge steel
wool and remove any possible corrosion from the tube pins.
Another culprit is often the RCA cord connections that go to/from the reverb
pan - check those out, too. Sometimes, they can be slightly unplugged while
in transit, etc.
Just be sure to not have the tank plugged in when checking stuff out - good
luck!
