How I FINALLY Fixed My 1963 Fender Reverb Unit!

Occasionally, amp repair will take you down a road unforeseen. This is one of those roads. Just because an amplifier starts to act up does not always mean that it is the amp that is the problem. I this video, I give you an example. I've been using this Fender reverb unit for over 13 years with some static issues here and there. The old Fender reverb is an amplifier too with its own power supply. When you run an amplifier into another amplifier, you can have grounding and other issues that can be amplified quite a bit before it goes into the next amplifier. That is exactly what happened here. And it all boiled down to one old cold solder joint. You really need to re-solder all of the joints eventually just to keep them fresh. They may look solid to the eye, but the wire can be completely loose inside the solder. It even happened on the Sprague refurb where I had just soldered in an electrolytic cap. A loose wire on an electrolytic cap can really cause havoc in an amplifier. Gear used: Nash S-68HX left-handed Strat, Rumpelstiltskin Experience pickups. On the left - A vintage 1959 Fender Bandmaster going through a Fender Reissue Reverb Unit (Tweed box sitting on top of the Vibroverb) that has been completely re-handwired to the original circuit. On the right - A vintage 1960 Bassman going through this 1963 original Fender reverb unit. The reverb unit is sitting behind the Super Reverb amp and can't be seen. The Bassman has the Plexi panel in front of it. Opinion on differences between the Reissue and an original vintage reverb unit: I can't be completely objective here because my Reissue was gutted and re-handwired with a turret board just like the original. The main difference is probably is the sound of the spring pan, vintage versus new. The old pans just sound bigger and not quite as ice-picky but the new ones still sound great and are acceptable. Different capacitors will definitely affect the tone of the unit.
