I am new to electric guitar, having been a lifelong acoustic player..
anyway, I was recently given a crate GT212. It sounds great on all the channels, BUT.. the reverb does not work. the tank will activate when you touch it gently or pick it up, (sending sound through the amp) but will not work for the guitar signal. not with the pot at max, medium, or any point in between.
I would like help troubleshooting ! i am new at guitar amps. (basic electronics/soldering skills-- hifi enthusiast) aside from troubleshooting the reverb issue(to determine if I need to buy a new tank), I would like to know how to go about QC/testing the components in the schematic.
didnt know if there was a best practices or tutorial to help guide me. uncharted territory for me..
thank you so much
