The Mod Electronics Reverb Tanks are high quality upgrade units. Some of the major differences between the Mod®s and other reverb tanks are that the Transducers are wired directly to their respective RCA jacks as opposed to current production tanks where Transducers are connected by a detachable plug to their respective RCA jacks. This makes the tanks less receptive to any outside interference. The original Hammond Accutronics tanks from the 1960s were also wired directly to their respective RCA jacks. In addition, very close attention has been paid to the spacing and size of the lamination of the Transducers resulting in a more vintage like tone.

Product Reviews
A world of difference! Better, cleaner sound and more control.I can't and imagine a better upgrade for the price.
OMG - bought this to replace a stock Spring Reverb in my Fender Blues Jr and what a HUGE difference. The stock one "maybe" sounded ok up until 3 on the dial, after that it was just rubbish. This one you can crank, sounds wonderful and is at an incredible price ! Thank you Amplified Parts ! ! !
This is an awesome replacement for the stock reverb tank in my blues junior. The tone is much better! It's an easy replacement, and the 8EB2C1B is a perfect replacement and a very good price. Great job Amplified Parts!
I bought this reverb tank to replace the malfunctioning stock one in my Blues Jr. and what a difference. Night and day. Not only was the stock unreliable, but the sound this replacement tank blows it away. Warm, rich and full sounding and useful even without the reverb level cranked. I could never turn the stock one past 2 or 3 without it sounding silly. It was thin and toylike-sounding. This replacement tank is worth every penny. I just received it yesterday and installed it late last night. I can't wait to use it on my gig tonight.

I replaced the original (Accutronics/Belton) reverb tank in my blues junior III with the MOD because the old one was sporadic and finally stopped working. This upgrade made a HUGE difference, no more clanky, popping, harsh, jangly nosies, just nice smooth clean warm sounding reverb. The dial now works from 0-12 where as before it was just about useless past 3. Crank the dial up to 9-10 and there is all the surf sound you'll need. This is an amazing upgrade at a killer price and in my opinion blows the original reverb tank away! Thanks!!
I don't think these guys could have shipped this any faster. I would say it has at least a good of build quality at the original in my Fender amp. Probably better! It sounds great. Next time I need a reverb tank, I know where I'm getting it!
I too bought this to replace the meh grade reverb in my Peavey Envoy 110, but it's taking a detour in my newly acquired Peavey Classic 50 which had one of the deadest, driest, worn out husk of a reverb tank in it. So now my Classic 50 has a short little reverb tank for an Envoy and ya know what? It sounds darned good! So in the mean time my classic 50 gets the Envoy's reverb til the new right sized one shows up. I'm impressed with this Mod tank. I might order a few speakers to go with it.
I ordered this to replace the 2 spring tank in my Peavey Envoy 110 (red stripe - 2003?). It was a big improvement to the original. The replacement was easy, I labelled the input & output cables before I removed them from the old tank (it does make a difference, you don't want to cross them) and just plugged the new tank in. With the money I saved over the Factory replacement part I bought the tolex bag to place it inside the cabinet, this should be attached loosely so the tank can wiggle some, which helps to reduce mechanical vibration from the cabinet.
I was very pleased with the excellent product and the fast service/shipping from Amplified Parts. Thanks so much!
Bought this to replace the faulty tank on my Blues Jr. Easy transaction and fast delivery to the UK. The tank was easy to install and sounds MUCH better! Worth doing even if the original reverb is still working.
