Re: [SurfGuitar101] Tone death...

To help with hum problems when using Fender Reverb tanks, first, no ground pin
on the tank! A guitar rig should have a total of one ground for the entire
system. They put ground pins on reissue tanks now for electrical codes required
by UL, etc., but you will never use a reverb tank without an amp so you don't
need another ground pin. Secondly, the reverb tank itself has single coil
pickups insind that are connected to the springs. When you have a noise problem,
try to move the Reverb Unit 45 degrees and check if you can eliminate the buzz.
It's the same as when move your guitar with single coils and the hum gets
quieter.
