my RI reverb has been making a bit of noise lately and today when i
turned it on it squealed at me. it's making more of a high shrill
noise. i'm at a lose as to what could be wrong. any ideas (take it to
a tech?) i too would like to hear more about other tank options. carol

i meant loss..........maybe bob is haunting mine also
Does it squeal without you guitar plugged in to the input? Those RI's have
awful, crappy input and output jacks......I have seen many that the input jack
failed after a modest tug on the guitar cable....If it does squeal with nothing
plugged in, try this.....take off the back cover (4 screws) and with the unit
on, and the output plugged into your amp carefully rock each of the tubes
around in their respective sockets to sort of work in a good connection on the
pins....then check to see that the input and output RCA cables from the spring
pan are well seated in their respective jacks. Next tap each of the tubes with
your finger or the eraser of a wood pencil....be careful not to break the
tube.....Should any of these things produce the squeal that you heard, you now
have some idea where the problem is.......no squeal, the plug in your guitar
and with it's volume up, repeat the shakedown, and let me know what you find
out.... good hunting, and oh, in that salt air,
anything can start to corrode and cause all sorts of ugly noises........ed

Carol,
This is obviously later in the day, so.....
Does it still squeal? I'm assuming that the Mixer
knob is turned up from Dry at least part way when
you hear the squeal. First, what you hear is some
sort of oscillation, and there can be many causes
for that, but bad connections and faulty tubes are
the most common causes.
First, check to make sure that the cables down to the
tank itself are all hooked up nice and tight. Still
pitching a fit? Then get out your spare tube(s), and
replace each of them, one at a time, in the following
order: The Mixer (furthest from the power cord), the
Driver (the big one), and then the remaining tube,
which is the pre-amp. I say one at a time; be sure
to test the unit before moving on to the next tube -
no point in replacing what doesn't need it, right?
Still no go? Sorry, you've just exhausted your User
Servicable parts inventory - time to hike down to
your favorite amp guru. Unless you like the smell of
hot solder, in which case I'll give you a few more
tests to perform. <g>

Ah Ha! Maybe you know why the RI units are so prone to picking up RFI as in
local FM radio stations.......I've had two that did it. intermittently but
often enouth to cause me to just go out and buy a real '65.........ed

a call to everyone.
what I'd like to see is post, saying,
"I own a Fender RI reverb tank, I've had it for over 5 years, it
sounds great, and i have never had trouble with it it. It never broke
down, squeeled, picked up radio stations or needed serious and costly
maintenance.
I own a Fender RI reverb tank, I think it's a great and solid piece
of equipment, I am happy to own it and think it's a good investment.
I encourage anyone to not check out the alternatives, guyatone or
boutique built, either cheaper or more expensive, but to just buy the
Fender, garanteed satisfaction!"
You know, it just freaks me out, these things cost between 700 and
800 euros new here. Some I heard sound freakin'amazin', some I heard
were so so.
I paid 430 for my TRUE ptp handbuilt 6G15-'copy' which sounds fine by
me and which never gave me any trouble. the guyatone - endorsed by
what i consider the most anal band around today about the sound of
their reverb, the nebulas, costs $450 in the states (haven't seen it
in europe yet though. but importing it from the states will stil make
it only as expensive as the fender)
anyone out there having a completly bob-free reverb unit...
preferably giging, i.e. carrying the thing around?
WR
I have had mine for 4 years this coming holiday season. I have never
had a problem with it. Only once have I picked up a radio station. I
was all set up and ready for a gig and we were just about to start
when our lead guitarist dropped his case on my tank. It immediately
started to pick up a radio station. Since then it has never picked up
any stations. I kick it all of the time as well. The unit is
incredibly clean as well. I've played several that add some gain but
not mine. And my buddies got it signed by Dave Wronski. Maybe that
added some protective powers.

DW works at Fender right? he should sign all of 'em!
but seriously. I'd really like to find out whether all the tank-
horror stories we get here are the rule or the exception to it. I
might have some cash in the near future to spend on gear, and i just
might end up getting another tank. I'm just trying to figure out
whetehr i dare to get a Fender ;-).
I might rry to set up a poll on this,...
WR
WR,
Not quite as good as what you requested, but.....
I had one of these until about 2 months ago, when a
friend of Jacob's called me up and offered me what I
could have gotten for it on eBay or craigslist - he
admitted he was in a bind, timewise. I thought about
it for a moment, and figured I can always get another,
so why not help a brother out. But for the previous 3
years or more, I never heard a station, I never had a
problem, and once I changed the 6V6 to a 6K6, I thought
it was clean as all get-out.
Still, most folks say that there's a definite difference
in the sound between the old and new units. One of these
days, I'll just have to find out for myself. <g>

unlunf, thanks ... could you please fill out the poll as 'no
problems' - just for completeness-sake? the point of the poll is of
course that good news never makes the headlines.
as far as the sound is concerned, i'm not primarily intersted in that
right now. THE best tank I ever heard live was from the killer
bananazz, which is a RI - and I heard plenty tanks, vintage as well
as RI. in any case, I think that what you like in a tank is to degree
personal taste, and moreover, because the sound of a particular tank
is to a large degree dependent on the tubes and the particular tray -
which have huge differences among them - the differences between two
particular RI tanks can be bigger then between a given vintage and a
given RI .... I hear a distinct echo of a particular bassman v.
bandmaster thread here ;-)
anyway, this is all just about reliabilty.

Wannes, I own two RIs - one I bought used 11 years ago, the other 10
years ago (also used). Both of them have been very reliable, and
have never let me down. In fact, one of them I've hauled all around
the US: touring with the Space Cossacks as far south as Atlanta and
as far north as Boston, once for a two-week tour; taking it on the
plane for our two-week West Coast tour; taking it on the plane to
record the New World Relampagos project in New Orleans; and finally,
playing with the Madeira for the last year and a half. I've
recorded four albums using these units. I think I had to have them
serviced once or twice in all that time, and I think the culprit at
least once was a bad tube. I'm hearing some noise coming from my
primary unit now, so it looks like it's due for another service, but
given that I kick the crap out of the thing, and use it all the
time, I'd say it's done really well! And I don't remember one
instance where picking up a radio station was a serious problem - in
fact, it's only ever done it at home, though very, very rarely, and
at one practice, as far as I can remember. So, overall I'd say my
experience with an RI has been very satisfactory. Oh, I think they
sound great, too.
I filled out your poll, too.

These might be worth a try if you are handy with a soldering iron. Ted Weber
(maker of excellent replacement speakers) makes two reverb unit kits, one is
reverb only ($400) and the other has a Vibe circuit also ($450.)
The reverb only kit looks co simple a caveman could put it together (no
offence to cavemen!) If I didn't have my Fender reissue tank (which I've
used for 10+ non-gigging years with no problems) I'd be building myself the
ReVibe.

thanks for the tip. I might get some of his trannies and build
myself, I have considered it. the kits though cost more then a brand
new fender RI, by the time DHL and the Dutch customfucks (excellent
bandname btw) have taken their share.
incedently, I've been looking into 12" lately - Weber's ceramic
cali's I considered. listprice? $90 ..... price by the time they
reach my frontdoor? $260. yikes.

I won't be obnoxious and reprint what you want to hear, WR, but I can say
exactly that. 5 - years, no probs of any kind. I haven't tinkered with it. It's
completely stock and has has a fair amount of use.

I have owned my Fender RI reverb since 1999...so six years.
No real problems at all except:
It was in to the tech one time for a Volume/Tone/Dwell pot
cleanup...my pots were a little crusty and crackly.
that's it...
I play live maybe 2 or three times each month...not really
out touring, but my fender RI reverb unit always works
perfectly.
good luck,

So you didn't buy the Vox Reverb Unit off of ebay?
For those who don't know about a year ago there was a Fender RI reverb
unit on ebay that had been cosmetically overhauled to look just like a
Vox. I e-mailed the auction to Ivan due to the fact that he fancies
the AC30.

I have had my RI reverb tank for about 6 years - no problems. Mine
doesn't have a lock down either, and I carry it in my car all the
time to practice and gigs. If I set it on its front, the springs
don't make any noise, but if I don't, boy, do those springs crash
around!
I kick it at least twice a show too.
Chris
I refuse to participate in this survey on the grounds that If I say anything
positive about my
tank, it'll crap out on me tonight. ;)

I own both an original '63 Fender Reverb Unit, as well as a '63 R/I Fender
Reverb. I've been using the R/I (that I paid $250.00 to purchase used) almost
exclusively for about a year, both in rehearsals and at gigs, and have had
absolutely ZERO complaints. It functions flawlessly and has the drippy sound I
need to make the most out of my muted rhythms, on those songs where I'm playing
rhythm guitar.
