    Is it possible to switch the reverb tank in this to something better? The reverb is ok but not great. I might as well change it while I am messing with everything else... also, recommendations for which brand?
    Switching to a different tank might not give you the change you are looking for. The amount of reverb you have on an amp depends largely on how the reverb circuit is designed, and how it is integrated into the amp. A change of the reverb tank might change the character of the reverb you get, but it isn't that likely to change its intensity.

    Accutronics reverb tanks are the standard, though they are now made in Korea.

      depends what you have in there, 3 spring or two. I think you need to make sure the impedance on a new tank matches the impedance on your amp also. Most fender amps use accutronics tanks.
      However you might find that a couple of component changes inside your amp will change the depth of the reverb etc.
      Also...how old are the tubes driving the tank and what kind are they? You can get changes in reverb tone that way too.

        Accutronics tanks are easy to match to each other in terms of specs when making a change in size/model. The product number is a code for all the ratings that you need to match, like tank size/series, impedance, delay time, intended mounting orientation, etc. I forgot the details of what is what, but to change out one reverb tank for another, all you need to do is take the model number of the old one, leave the codes for the features you need to match (such as impedance), and change the codes for all the features you want to change.

          Gibson - no tubes - it's a SS amp.

          I guess a reverb pedal would be easier. :P

            oh i thought you said it was a twin reverb clone. dont spend any money on upgrading the reverb then. if you like its clean power and headroom then save up for a real twin and youll be in heaven

              Doesn't your G100 have casters? Mine does, but they are removable for stacking.

              Some creative solutions posted here, for sure, but I just roll mine when I can, and lift it when I have to. Heavy, yes, but worth every ounce in tone.

              If that doesn't work, keep an eye on CL and score yourself a second G100 to leave at your practice space. As you've seen, they can be had for a song.

                It's solid state? How heavy is it?

                  I don't have wheels but it has the little metal openings to put them on. I saw another one last week or so for $160. I thought seriously about it.

                  Yes, it honestly is comparable to my old 410 Deville if I remember correctly. It's extremely heavy. It has massive transformers and huge magnets on the speakers.

                  I really love this amp. Just really loud good sounding cleans. I don't plan to make any changes any time soon. They can be had for really cheap too as shown above.... I got mine for $145. Good condition... some chipped knobs, some faceplate wear... I saw one in better condition for $160.

                      This. No more heavy combo amps. You could put the chassis and verb tank in the head, and use a good 1x12 or lighter weight 2x12 cab.
