An update on my Fender Showman:

[krankguitarist]

Ya'll may remember me complaining about my Showman Reverb having some buzzy-as-hell reverbage goin on, and not being able to find out what was wrong.

Well, I ended up finding the problem. I had a .003 uF cap that was leaking DC onto the reverb pot. I swapped that little component out and zing, no more hum.

The thing sounds killer right now :banana: .

Its a great amp........ Good Luck with it. What peadls are you running in front of it? I know it is quite a different amp, but I have a 68 SF Super Reverb and this amp sounds killer with a Tubescreamer. I usually set the volume on the amp at about 3 which keeps it very clean but it is still very loud and the tubscreamer just makes the amp sing!

Right now I'm runnin my current pedalboard through it, Fulltone clyde deluxe->Keeley modded Boss BD-2->Voodoo Lab Analog Chorus->Boss Giga Delay DD-20->Boss tuner.

Ain't a real fancy setup, but it gets the job done. The modded BD-2 is a pretty killer pedal, very touch-sensitive, very dynamic. Its the same setup that I run in front of my KRANK. Though, I'm thinkin of pickin up either a plexitone or a SFX-3 for puttin in front of this thing just to give me a few more options as far as distortion goes.

^^^ Sounds like a good rig to me. Who cares about fancy as long as it sounds great and you can achieve your desired tone!!!
