I think it 's been addressed many times on these forums ,i'll wait for an answer.

What do you mean by "nobody can fix it"??? Do you mean to say that you've had it in a repair shop and they gave it back because they couldn't find the problem? Is the fact that nobody can fix it the problem your having? Or, is the fact that your reverb isn't working the problem? Have you taken the amp to a repair shop? Or are you saying that no one has been able to diagnose the problem on line and tell you how to fix it? Based on the extreme brevity of your post I'd venture to say that anyones inability do diagnose your problem on line was probably due to lack of information. Do you want the name of a good repair shop (that certainly will be able to fix the problem) or do you want help fixing it yourself? If the latter then can you provide specific information about the nature of the failure. Did anything noteworthy happen when the reverb failed, funny smell, loud noise, etc.? Does the reverb do anything now, scrathy pot but no sound, attenuate the dry signal but no reverb, etc.? Is the amp having any other problems seemingly related or not? Did it ever work properly while in your posession? Out with it man, we need details.

the tank is good, my guy tested it ,others say its in the circuit board ,no smoke or noises ,reverb just stopped after 6 months,everything else rocks.no scratchy noises, just nothing,I've been checking around,lots of similar woes from other deville owners.

I am an authorized Fender warranty station operator. believe me, there is no reverb problem that can;t be fixed. And I would add, the reverb in this amp uses the same circuitry and parts as all the other fender amps. I have seen no unusually large failure rates on these. Online I am sure you can find other people with reverb trouble, but they sell these amps by the 10s of thousands, so a very small failure percentage looks like a lot of people.

6 months? Did you buy it new? If so, it is under warranty, get it to the nearest Fender warranty shop and let them fix it.

In any case, reverb problems are about the simplest things in an amp to service, and any competent shop can handle it.

Ditto. Just WHO tried to fix it? If reverb problems are an issue, the "tech" should consider career counseling.

I would double check the tank. Those are a more common failure point. All the rest of it is a simple opamp driver circuit, that any competent shop should be able to easily diagnose.
