Reverb tank replacement

[ElNumero]

Just ordered a MOD replacement reverb tank for my Fender DRRI. Apparently the springs rusted from the salty air when the house flooded during Helene.

Good on ya, Deluxe Reverb needs reverb! But not more cowbell.

quick and easy fix.  I actually have a spare reverb tank at home somewhere, but since I don't live there anymore, I don't really have access to it

Agreed.    I had to pull the reverb tank from my Classic 30 when the basement flooded.   Once everything was well rinsed, including the bag, and dried.   I simply plugged it all in and it worked fine.

Back when "Timmy" Pedal guru, Paul Cochrane was creating amazing Heritage amps, he was criticizing modern-day reverb tanks.

I've been through a few tank tank swaps, and agree with Cochrane.  I had to return two brand new tanks due to poor performance.  Springs jangled or had overtones at low reverb levels.  Even after swapping in vintage tubes the reverb sounded washed out.  

That said, if I needed another reverb tank I'd look for a good used tank from an old amp.

Good luck with your MOD tank, Will.  I hope it works out for you.
