Hi all....
I recently snagged a Fender Roc Pro 1000 head with the pedal from eBay for a really good price.
The reverb tank is so weak, you can't even tell if it's at 0 or 10.
I also got a non-working Peavey VTX (hoping new tubes would fire it up, but it's got issues).
Thing is, the Peavey also came with a 17" (4 spring - 2 x 2)) reverb tank.
So, last night I swapped out the dinky little Fender tank for the old Peavey tank, and, wow, all of a sudden I'm playing in an amphitheater
This amp only has one 12ax7a tube, ( I have a new JAN Phillips on order to replace it ), and I'n not sure if this tube handles the reverb task. Mostly what I've read is that there are mulitple 12ax7s and a separate tube handles the ouput and another for input on other amps.
Question is, is this going to hurt my Fender head running this reverb tank? It also took out a lot of the background hum I used to have, which is cool.
Pre-thanks for an answer
