I don't have the funds to buy a new amp. And I'll keep messing til I find something that works. I think I found a pedal already that I'm looking into.

What do I need? Fuzz vs. Distortion/OD? Decide for your self. Here's what I'm looking for. This tone. Fuzz Chorus.wav - 2.19MB Tappin Heavy.wav - 8.96MB (these are sections of rough versions of some of my songs...drums are going to be redone, and everything needs to be mixed more...but you get...

I would look into getting a new fuzz but...I dropped 180 on my current fuzz so unless somehow I can sell it for at least 150, it'd be tough for me to really get rid of my current one. But I'll look into it, along with the tube screamer, smooth and thick sound great to me. Any suggestions on...

So after fixing the reverb tank for a couple days and getting everything rockin', I've been trying to get some good tones... My issues.... I find an AWESOME clean, sounds Amazing and the reverb makes it perfect, but then I run my fuzz and it sounds tinny and the highs just literally rape your...

Thanks for the help. I used that and finally isolated the issue. I found this spot where if I put enough pressure on it it worked, so I just taped it and voila! it works great. I'll just reinforce the tape a little better and I should be back in business. Thanks everyone for the help! It was...

I have no idea even where to begin with reading that schematic. I looked at it somewhere else and tried to figure something out, but I really just am ignorant when it comes to reading electrical diagrams like that....Someday... That being said. SO I have the RCA white plugged into the amp. Then...

I might have a meter somewhere, not too familiar with using one though. How would I go about checking the continuity of the tank circuit?

I've checked the tank and to the best of my knowledge there are no broken solders or anything of the sort. But I mean, I really don't know what to look for. I looked with a flashlight and some strong glasses and couldn't see anything that looked wrong. I think I'm only left with the option of...

I filed a thing with paypal asking for compensation for repair costs to get the reverb fixed. So we'll see.

I only hear the springs when there's vibration in the cab, or I tap the tank to make the springs heard. When I play the guitar at lower volume and make sure there isn't anything vibrating the amp but itself, I don't hear anything related to reverb... So if it is kaput, what's my next step?

Thank you! Needed that information. Make sure I plug it in correctly. Any idea on why I get the spring noise when I the input is plugged in and not the output?

I tried switching out the rca cable for another one...didn't work. I tried switching out the 12at7 for a 12ax7 that I had that I knew worked, and still no luck. I don't know which rca plug goes to the input or output of the tank. They aren't color coded like it is on the amp side of it. The...

I'll try the new rca cable, then look into the tube. After that I don't have an ohm meter, so hopefully one of those 2 things will fix it. I'll check that all of the connections are soldered properly in the reverb tank. Thanks so much for the help, it is greatly appreciated. At this point it...

yeah I did make sure they were plugged in...no luck... I don't have any other effects that have RCA jacks...or any other rca cables for that matter...Well, wait. I do have rca cable from my dvd player...I'll try substituting that, and hope that the cable is the issue... I don't have any other...

So I tried messing around with the reverb tank. When I had the amp on and I hit the springs you could hear the springs through the speakers, but nothing has been effected by my guitar tone. Makes me think that the signal from the tank to the amp is fine, but from the amp to the tank doesn't...

I'll look into the tank thing. How do I know which tube drives the reverb? I checked all the tubes and the lights were all on, so that's all I know about them, they all heat up. Does that mean that they are functioning correctly? Or not necessarily... I'll definitely check the connections to...

Reverb Fixed! Fixed it! And closing thread. Read last post on how I fixed it, if interested. Yeah, so I got my new used amp, and the I can't get the reverb to work... What could cause the reverb not to work?? Anything I'm doing wrong that would make it not work? I tried with the footswitch...

You're so right, everything gets at least some negative comments. I feel really fortunate to have scored this amp. I don't mind at all talking about money...I got it for $610 + $65 :D I'm getting really pumped for this amp. I might have to look into those mod 50's. Although I definitely need...

I'm glad to hear all the good things about these amps. I'm definitely going to invest in some coasters due to the weight, but I'll just try and mentally prepare myself to carry this beast around. Thanks for all the replies. Read my EDIT in original post...the amp is a '65 reissue twin reverb...

I got it for $675 shipped off of Ebay. Pretty good deal in my opinion. I didn't think I'd win the auction, so I'm sort of shocked still... But I'm super excited none the less, my first all tube amp (scxd is as close as I've gotten), and I think it should fulfill my clean headroom needs :D...
