Product Reviews
Excellent quality and perfect sound,4 second decay time accurate and slight treble increase as expected from long-spring tanks.Replaced MOD tank that was self-oscillating due to the second spring vibrating continuously.Worth the few extra bucks,Accutronics is the classic long-spring reverb sound.
The first tank I received wouldn't work, but Antique Electronic Supply took good care of me. They immediately authorized my return and promptly shipped a replacement at no cost to me. Now the reverb on my Fender Super Reverb amp works great. I'm very happy with the product and with the customer service.
Bought this for a 1968 Fender Twin. Sounds just like the original as far as I can tell. I am happy and that is good.
Great improvement over the original design with the connectorized transducer coils. This has always been a weak point in their reverb tanks and these connections get broken easily and often. I think Accutronics put that potential problem behind them. A better than exact replacement.
The reverb is a reverb unit. It's great. Only took a few days for my order to arrive from Arizona to Portland Oregon. I am very happy with my purchasing experience. Thank you.
