  • Bad Reverb Tank???

    I have a solid state amp that has a reverb tank mounted in the bottom of the cabinet. I was playing the other day and suddenly i thought my amp blew. The lights on the amp were more dim and all that was coming out of the speaker was a loud hum. No noise from the guitar or anything else. After a few minutes of troubleshooting i unplugged the reverb tank and the amp worked fine. without the tank plugged in it the amp sounds normal minus the reverb obviously, if i plug it back in the dimmed led's and loud hum come back. Looking inside the tank there are just 3 springs and two small transformers. Is there a way to test these to find where the problem is?

    Sure would be helpful to know what amp you have so we can look up the schematic.
    Education is what you're left with after you have forgotten what you have learned.
