I currently own 3 Fender reverb tanks, two vintage 60's units and one of
the 90's reissues. None of these have ever broken down, squealed, picked
up radio stations, or needed serious and costly maintenance.
I've had them all for many years. They sound fine and the only problem
I've ever had with any of them is that one of the springs in one unit
snapped out of a transducer. I had to replace the tank. No other
problems, ever.
To attenuate RF interference, has anybody thought about using grounded
aluminum or copper foil inside the unit, or maybe wrapping the tank with
copper tape? I'm not an expert on this subject by any means, but I believe
I've heard about that approach for dealing with RF interference.

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?
