Grounding reverb tank

[überfuzz]

Each transducer has a separate ground right? I.e. I'm not running the risk of creating a ground loop if I ground both sides of the tank. Further, is it safer to place this ground node on a separate node to ground lug, or can I place it on some other ground node?

Cheers!

An other question, somewhat trivial maybe. The driver stage of a reverb circuit is connected to the IN side of a tank, and wise versa for the receiving side... Right?

Reverb driver out -->[in TANK out]--->driver in, where the signal is received.

That is true.

Per your first post: both reverb grounds are not necesarily 'grounded'.
It depends on the circuit.
The receiving circuit, if it has an opamp, will probably not be grounded.
Maybe 200 ohms from ground.

Specs for tanks vary - check the grounding scheme for your particular unit. Some have isolated connections, some grounded, and in different combinations to suit particular circuits. Some op-amp driven Marshall circuits need an isolated input and grounded output.

Grounding point depends if you're adding reverb to an existing amp or building a standalone unit. I use star grounding in standalone builds.

Thanks all!

My first try will be a separate ground node to lug for the tank.
