Members hangwire Posted December 6, 2009 Members Share Posted December 6, 2009 Does anyone know if there is a way to mod a spring reverb tank in my amp to produce a drippier fender outboard reverb style verb? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Johnny'sGotTheBlues Posted December 6, 2009 Members Share Posted December 6, 2009 What amp? I'm guessing it's not a Fender because Fender on board verbs go WAY past "surf" to complete underwater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members grunge782 Posted December 6, 2009 Members Share Posted December 6, 2009 Good luck getting info here on something like that. 1. Not about hi gain amps2. Not a parody3. Not a flamewar4. No womenz5. An actual technical amp question that requires real experience instead of buying power. Rig Talk has usually helped me out a lot more on questions like this.

Members hangwire Posted December 6, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 6, 2009 What amp?I'm guessing it's not a Fender because Fender on board verbs go WAY past "surf" to complete underwater. no, actually most amps have too long of a reverb tank and it does the ambeint long dwell reverb... what I am looking for is to get even more snap and post attack reverb "drips" by doing a modification to the reverb tank... i was thinking either adding or subtracting a spring, or changing springs to looser or tighter? or any type of mechanical adjustements to the tank itself to do X ???

Members hangwire Posted December 6, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 6, 2009 Add a pedal on top? I guess as a last option I could get a fender 63 reverb head, but my amp has good reverb [acoustic control corp 137 combo] and it seems redundant and kinda lame to have to buy something rather than make an attempt to have what I already own better.

Members hangwire Posted December 6, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 6, 2009 Again: WHAT AMP? 2 posts up it is a short tank reverb, so it should be almost there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitarcapo Posted December 6, 2009 Members Share Posted December 6, 2009 Never heard of that amp before. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members IamBurnout Posted December 6, 2009 Members Share Posted December 6, 2009 Try the 'pull a spring' trick. Just be careful... The little hooks for the springs are delicate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members crowguitar Posted December 6, 2009 Members Share Posted December 6, 2009 I have an Acoustic 125 combo. For a SS amp it kicks.. the verb is pretty much what it is. Being solid state, there's not really a way to get the Fender tube driven verb sound. The tank is short, so yes its closer than a long Mesa verb box, but one option could be to get looser springs. Maybe try a few types to get the sound you want. Which year is your amp? The layouts differ slightly in the later 70's versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Slunderfungus Posted December 6, 2009 Members Share Posted December 6, 2009 The Fender 6G15 Reverb is litearlly a Reverb amplifier, drawing power from a 6K6 power tube, with a 12AT7 and a 7025 preamp tube, so It would be hard to get that level of reverb from just a tank mod. If your handy with a soldering iron and hankering for a project, I have a layout for one if you want to build it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members petejt Posted December 6, 2009 Members Share Posted December 6, 2009 Dunno, what about thicker springs? Thinner springs? Coiled springs? I'm not trolling, I have an opened-up spring reverb tank right in front of me, so I'm just guessing how to make it sound snappier... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
