Members nonis Posted March 3, 2010 Members Share Posted March 3, 2010 I just bought a Peavey Classic 30 right on this here forum without a reverb tank. I planned to put one in myself, but I'm not quite sure where it plugs into? There are no dangling wires or anything... Can't find one anywhere. Could someone tell me what the reverb tank hooks up to? =P Maybe I'll end up just getting a pedal instead if it's a very difficult task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Zacman0126 Posted March 3, 2010 Members Share Posted March 3, 2010 There should be wires dangling somewhere. Otherwise for example on my Ultra the wires come from the tank and are spliced into a plug that plugs into a female on the amp. Perhaps that is the case with this?

Members nonis Posted March 3, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 3, 2010 Nope. Coming out of the hole in the "head" part of the combo are 3 wire bundles. One big black covered bundle that goes straight into the big black thing on the left side (looking at the amp from the front). One is a yellow/blue pair going into that same black thing. The last one is a yellow/blue pair going to the speaker. ]= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members nonis Posted March 3, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 3, 2010 And by black thing I think I mean a transformer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members nonis Posted March 3, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 3, 2010 Actually the wires that go from the amp to the transformer are white,green,black. But all the wires I can find inside the combo seem to start and end somewhere, nothing I can plug into a reverb tank. ]= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Zacman0126 Posted March 3, 2010 Members Share Posted March 3, 2010 There's no cutout anywhere that has a plug female end in it or anything? {censored} I don't know, hit up whammy bar and grille, that's the peavey forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members teemuk Posted March 3, 2010 Members Share Posted March 3, 2010 This is the kind of amp that has all the service data circulating in Internet, and if it wasn't you could get it from Peavey anyway by just requesting. Download the schematics and the PC board layouts and they will show where the reverb send and return wires should hook up. Hint: look near the only opamp (8-pin IC) on the PC board. It's in the board section to which the potentiometers are mounted to. You also need to figure out what is a proper reverb tank for that amp. They are not all similar and the tank needs to be matched to the amp design for optimal results and to avoid destroying parts due to mismatch. The service manual might have a parts list that will tell you what type of tank the amp uses. Perhaps you could even email Peavey and simply ask them... :poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
