Members Tomm Williams Posted August 16, 2015 Members Share Posted August 16, 2015 While doing a recent gig, I had something happen I've never before encountered. While mixing for a band on a less than totally solid wooden stage, I could hear the reverb tank in a performers Fender amp shaking through the system. Suggestions on what HE might do to fix that ?

Members Shaster Posted August 16, 2015 Members Share Posted August 16, 2015 Did he have the rubber washers... under his tank? Was his verb up really loud? Personally, I've had so many Fender tanks die on me, I've just been using reverb pedals as of late. Solves the whole issue, unless you're a real purist, in which case a pad like Craig suggested, or perhaps a different tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tomm Williams Posted August 17, 2015 Author Members Share Posted August 17, 2015 Not sure how it was mounted but I'll suggest to him that he find out. Whenever the kick or bass would really dig in, I could hear the tank shaking through the mic'd cabinet. Sounded odd as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members agedhorse Posted August 17, 2015 Members Share Posted August 17, 2015 A lot of effort often goes into the isolation systems on spring reverbs. Generally, the mounting and isolation approach is pretty mechanical and intuitive in nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tank sits on a piece of corrugated cardboard in a vinyl pouch with a wood screw on each end. Factory. I suppose a half inch foam sheet under the CC may help.

Maybe, but maybe not and may make things worse. It depends on how the coupling is happening all the way back to the receive transducer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tomm Williams Posted August 18, 2015 Author Members Share Posted August 18, 2015 Andy could the fact that he had the amp tilted back have contributed to this ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
