  • 60's VOX Berkely II - where is the reverb tank?

    Just finished repairing this solid state Vox Berkeley II and there is no reverb tank anywhere. I know it's supposed to have one because there are 2 RCA jacks for a reverb tank, the schematic shows a reverb tank in the circuit, and there is a knob to adjust the reverb level. Where does the reverb tank reside? In the head, in the cabinet, in thru the out door...

    I searched the web for pictures of other Vox Berkely II's and couldn't find a picture that included the reverb.

    BTW, this is a great sounding SS amp, but it was hell to get in and out of the guts. It is not tech friendly.

    Look for a pair of screw holes in the wood of the cabinet.

      On the Berkeley the tank is mounted on the inside of the front panel. Kinda like a Fender Bandmaster w/reverb, benind the grille.

        'Bout 3/4 the way down The VOX Showroom - Vox V1031 Cambridge Reverb and V1081 Berkeley II Amp Head - A Look Under the Hood is a funny looking cabinet with the description: "The full length, medium delay reverb pan for the V1081 Berkeley II amp head was mounted vertically to the inside front panel of the head cabinet (see photo at left). The same pan was mounted to the bottom of the V1031 Cambridge Reverb amp."

        Also gives a modern Accutronics replacement pan.

        Wouldn`t let me right click and save image.

          Awesome, thank you all for the replies. I see now it can use a standard Accutronics reverb tank.
