I guess the job is to make sure its the tank thats bad or weak,it could be other things but most likely its the tank,there are many great replacements out there,and many pedals that are really exceptional these days . |

Thank's Bill, again, it has never sound good to me even when the amp was brand new. Should I keep think its a tank problem ? ref is 4FB3A1B; another ref would work better ? |

Thank's Bill, the technical description on tanks is very good on this site, but there is no reference voltage displayed. What voltage should I consider as reference? |

you should only have voltages on the + and - supply pins, around + and - 15 to 18vdc. There should be little or no voltage on any of the input or output pins. |

the input pins should have around that voltage,if they don't then you gotta trace it back more . |

OK Bill, thanks, I will do that; so almost no votage on input/output would make the reverb working (even with a short delay ? ie my case) |

yeah it could be the op-amp,something burnt along the way cutting down the power ,bad pot?and there are a whole lot of things dc in these amps ,but alot of other amps run alot of dc in them too. |

Bill, I will swap an OP from channel 2 for tests. Anybody have vdc measurements around the reverb circuit? I just want to get this 210HD back to original, I have external solutions for good reverb�.BUT a good reverb on that amp would simplify things, just for a direct plugging !!!! |
