This is a '74 Pro Reverb and there are some problems when I have the reverb on. The unwanted noise changes from time to time, but sometimes sound like a typhoon blowing after every note. I have replaced both the preamp tubes that deal with the reverb and there's no change. Also took out the reverb unit and it looks as though all wires/springs are in good order. Is there another common cause of this sort of problem?

Re: Fender Pro Reverb - noisy reverb
I've had this for ten years and have had a couple of services in that time, including some caps replaced I think. It would help me greatly if I knew which caps to recommend to my local amp guy that he replaces - he's a bit of a general repairer rather than a Fender specialist, I think. Are there any particular caps I should ask him to replace?
Much appreciate the help.

Originally posted by ES350Blackface the reverb, the SF circuit is pretty different...the older circuit ran cooler, less strain on the AT7, might cure some of the noise. In the meantime, just try a new tube...I have replaced both the preamp tubes that deal with the reverb and there's no change.Amps: 66 Fender BF Pro Reverb Combo,1973 50 Watt Marshall Head,Marshall 4x12 A/V Cab,Vox ToneLab LE,Vox VTH Valvetronix 120 Head,Vox AD 2x12 Cab,Roland Cube 20X

Re: Fender Pro Reverb - noisy reverb
Yeah I have replaced the tubes main reverb tubes already. (Actually over the years I must have spent a fortune replacing tubes which never made any difference or cured any problems.)
Anyway, the search is on for a good amp guru in my neck of the woods. Not easy!
