Hi, I'm new here so forgive my lack of knowledge . My red knob Princeton Chorus has no reverb. I should explain that I had a few damaged pots so I replaced all of them. Now evrything works fine except the reverb. The return side is working (can here springs when tapping the tank), and the tank is ok (plugged into another amp, worked fine). The cables checked out ok. The pot also seems to be working as level of spring I can here changes with adjustment. I don't have a signal generator to get the TP values, and I don't have a capacitor checker (other than a DVOM). I have been searching on here and found that the op-amp on the reverb drive side could be the cause of this issue. I assume from the schematic that U4a (TL072) is the op-amp in question and I have measured +16v &-16V at pins 8 & 4. Those are the only measurments I knew how to take. I don't know if it applies to this circuit, but I've read that probing pin 3 with a paperclip should cause a hum in the reverb. I do here a slight click when I do this, but no hum.
So, am I in the right ballpark? Is there anything else I can try? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
