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.

The construction of these MOD tanks is designed to sound as close as possible to vintage reverb tanks of the 60's.This tank would serve as a great upgrade to the stock unit in a Fender Twin.

You will want to determine several factors regarding your reverb circuit such as input/output impedance, mounting orientation,number of springs, etc. I would suggest visiting our tech corner for a full explanation of reverb tanks. I'll include the address below: https://www.tubesandmore.com/tech-corner/spring-reverb-tanks-explained-and-compared

The MOD series tanks are designed to sound much closer to vintage sounding reverb tanks than other brands and their construction lends itself well to this goal. This will definitely be a great upgrade or replacement and should provide a nice lush reverb for your deluxe.

Most MOD owners feel that these reverb tanks are the most accurate to the original tanks found in vintage Fender amps. In most cases this would be considered an upgrade.

Hi, from our limited research it appears that you need an 8EB2C1B for your Valveking. I would confirm this by looking at the number on your tank.

As long as the second and third character match (AB) you can play around with the other options. The first character will describe the tank size and number of springs. The fourth character represents your decay time and comes in three different types (short, medium, and long). For more information please see our reverb tank article in the tech corner above.

Yes, we believe that the MOD series of reverb tanks are an improvement. These tanks are made as close as possible to the original USA made Accutronics tanks.

The 4EB3C1B is the proper replacement for your Hot Rod Deluxe.

Although we have not been able to verify this information, our customers have reported that this is the correct tank for the Supersonic 22.

We are not sure if this is compatible with the Spring Thing. What you will want to do is examine the tank and find the tank code.

We do not advise changing the size of the tank, simply because there are no 9.25" and 16.75" tanks that share the same input and output impedances.

Customers have reported this being the appropriate tank for the Super Sonic 22, so there is a very good chance this is the correct tank for your amp, but we do not have a way to verify this to be true.

Used this tank to replace the original (which had failed) in a 1968 Princeton Reverb.It fit perfectly and is more reverb than I'll ever need, the long decay time takes some getting used to, but overall I think it sounds great.

The MOD rverb tank was easy to install and sounds great. This is the brand used by Carr Guitar amplifiers.They recommended this MOD reverb tank over other more well known brands and after hearing it I understand why.

I have a 1968 SUNN Solarus amp head that I'm restoring. Someone removed the reverb tank and cut down the box approximatley 3 inches. I made a new box with the proper dimensions (24"x10"x10") installed new MOD reverb tank and new RCA cables and she's back to her glory. Thanks

I installed this tank in a silverface Princeton Reverb. The original Accutronics tank had dropped a spring when a transducer broke, and sounded terrible as a result. This tank has a longer decay than I think is typical of vintage Fenders, but otherwise sounds great! Full-on surf sounds are there if you want them, as well as more moderate settings. Installation is easy! I'm glad I did this.

Mine was loosely shipped in a bigger box with my other items. It failed after about 3 hours use. AES had me ship the defective one back which cost me more than buying one...
Now I have a two week or so wait for another tank to arrive and a customer without reverb in his amp. The tank did sound pretty good while it lasted. I could have bought one locally and will probably have to for this customer.
