Reverb

Hi
Can anyone tell me how to check to see if the reverb is working? I have a Nashville 400 & when I turn up the reverb control there is no change in the sound. If I tap on the reverb tank I get the reverb sound. I have cleaned & tightned the connector & even went as far as hard wiring it. None of them worked. Could the reverb tank be bad?
Thanks

On the can itself, one of the little wires might have come loose from the little coils or transformers or whatever they are called. I had that with mine once. They are a pain to fasten back on but can be done.

If you gig a lot with your amp, all those years of the reverb springs bouncing around in your car will break one of the fine wires inside the tank. Open it up and check them closely, If one is loose, it can usualy be restripped and soldered at least once. If not, you can get a replacement reverb tank from Peavey or other suppliers such as Electro Harmonex. Good luck with it, Larry J.
