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?

Is this an amp you've owned for a long time or is it a new amp to you? Might be time for some new capacitors throughout the amp?

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.

Obviously the caps to and from the reverb....It would be best to take that amp to a really good amp tech though...

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!
