Members Wilbo26 Posted December 28, 2006 Members Share Posted December 28, 2006 I can't remember which ones, but it is possible to fit larger reverb tanks from some other Fender Amps into the BJ chassis, which is what I would try to do as the stock reverb tank on them kinda sucks. Maybe the Deluxe Reverb's tank can be squeezed in there? I'll try and do a search and see if I can find an example. Billm's page also has some info on common problems so it might be a quick fix to get your reverb working:http://machrone.home.comcast.net/bjr/fixreverb.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PurpleStrat Posted December 28, 2006 Author Members Share Posted December 28, 2006 Thanks guys! I tried Billm's page and I seem to have the really hard problem to fix that he talks about. I don't think another tank would fit. It's snug now. I know nothing or reverb except that the stock reverb is not great. Is their one that is the right size but "better"? Like is one from Mojo better then one from tubesandmore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it look similar to this:If its already taking up most of the space its not even a stock one. Not sure if there is a good upgrade that is the size of the original. I might be off but I think one reason for the Reverb's poor sound is the small size of the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Grubgoat Posted December 28, 2006 Members Share Posted December 28, 2006 I bought one from a guy on ebay once, it went right in and works fine. Its actually a longer reverb, more like surf music, so it was a cool change. Think I paid like $35 for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members StratStevo Posted December 29, 2006 Members Share Posted December 29, 2006 The Accutronics 4EB3C1B tank out of a Hot Rod is too long to fit where your 8EB2C1B tank goes. I would suggest unscrewing and flipping your tank to check for broken springs, my Blues Deluxe had one spring broken and hanging before I ever opened the box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your swapping tanks, just make sure the second digit is an "E" and the third is a "B", to work with a Blues Juniors input/output impedances, just to be safe.Accutronics Products and SpecificationsPART NUMBERING SYSTEMReverb part numbers consist of a seven digit code.EXAMPLE: 4EB2C1BEach digit in the part number represents a specification.

Some guy on Ebay used to sell filled down tanks that would fit into the chassis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
