Super Reverb (Reverb Problems)

Post by Bart Maloney »

My Super Reverbs Reverb isn't that super anymore and I need some help. I just got a brand new reverb tank about 3 weeks ago, so i really don't think it is that. I checked the wiring in the tank and the cords that hook up to it. they all seem to be fine. If there are any amp techs out there that think they can help me out, or anyone who has had this problem, i would greatly apprciate it.

You don't say what is actually happening. No reverb at all? Does the reverb knob act as a volume control instead? Or do you have some reverb but it's too weak? Hum? Details please.

Bart, I just had a memory flashback. I remember a spring reverb unit that had a lock for travel purposes. It was a lever that kept the springs from bouncing when you transported it. Look closely at the reverb container to see if it has a locking lever. If it is locked, you can barely detect the reverb effect. ... JD
