The best way to get that sound for a reasonable cost would be to get a used reissue tank and maybe replace the 6V6 with a 6K6 if you want.

THAT stuff is what defines the sound of the unit. Some of the newer amps use the short tank. Most of the older amps use the long, 2 spring version. Accutronics Reverb Tank We carry 2 sizes for Fender amps. The Fender outboard design is a 6K6 driven, transformer coupled spring reverb unit with controls for how hard the springs are hit and the amount of wet/dry mix, as well as a tone control across the springs.

The actual springs/pan is of secondary or tertiary importance to the rest of the reverb circuit. The Fender reverb is a totally different design.

So I guess someone put in a wrong tank in my BMR. The typical "wet" "boingy" reverb usually assosiated with those SF Reverb heads. So I swapped the tank with the one from the Quad reverb and wow, what a difference. On the inside where the "send" jack was located I noticed a different resistor?, the whole thing just looked different inside at the end of the plug. So I took out the one from the Bandmaster and noticed that it looked very simelar, though it had a somewhat different code. The reverb never sounded right for some reason, even though it had a Accutronics long spring tank in it (in the stock black Fender bag)Ī few month later a friend sold me a accutronics tank from his Quad reverb for really cheap. I had a simelar expirience with a used SF Bandmaster Reverb a few year back.
