Re: Tone death...

Very interesting Dave,
So the two prong plug on my vintage reverb tank is fine? Everyone
has recommended me to have that changed for safty reasons. Should I
plug the tank into my Super Reverb or into a seperate wall socket?

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.
