Perfect replacement tank for my 1974 Twin Reverb. Reverb sounds 199% better now.
Perfect replacement for my Crate VC50
Every time I buy something from Amplified Parts, I always get exactly what I was hoping for. In this case, the reverb tank went into a Vintage 1965 Super Reverb and it sounds wonderful. There is nothing like a real spring reverb when its working correctly. I will remember to shop Amplified Parts first when I need tubes or restoration parts. Great pricing, guick shipping and, the descriptions are accurate.
Ordered as a replacement for a defective tank in a vintage Lab Series L7 amplifier. Easy fix and works like a charm...beautiful dripping reverb for that authentic surf and early rock n'roll music, or just a hint to musically elevate your tone! No issues with the workmanship. Definitely recommended.
Ordered as a replacement for my Princeton Reverb. Sounds lovely, definitely has the classic Fender character. Only giving four stars because both transducers were loose. Not a huge deal, nothing a drop of superglue couldn’t fix. Would recommend but check the transducers for movement before you install.
