Re: Problem with Carvin Legacy
Alright I tested it out and unfortunately, there must be something wrong with your amp. As I had figured earlier, there shouldn't be any sort of reverb coming through with it turned down.
That leaves you with one of two alternatives. A) Just don't bump into your amp (if everything else is acting normal) or B) Get the amp checked out, the potentiometer must not be functioning correctly if the reverb is coming through with it turned off. My guess is something isn't connected as securely as it should be and when you bump into your amp, it's hitting something which is bypassing the pot.

Re: Problem with Carvin Legacy
Sorry to dredge up this ancient thread, but I am for 2 reasons...
1) What ever happened??
Was your problem with a combo???
2) I wanted to share a possible suggestion for anyone having this problem. So maybe this can help someone..
I have this problem with my PV classic 30. If I use the Boost button and have the reverb on, it starts to hum.. What this is, is that the vibes from the extra drive of the boost, make the springs in the verb unit vibe, causing noise. For best elimination, remove the reverb tank from the cabinet. Set it outside the cab if you have enough cable.
I found that the tank is mounted with rubber bushings to dampen the vibes, the bushings were out of place and so it was hard mounted with screws and no damping. Fixing this helped
The tank also has a layer of tolex over it to isolate it, but that didnt help.. They sell Isolatation bags that you can put the tank in to eliminate this. I ghetto fixed mine with a layer of foam rubber. Not perfect, but better.. If I would gig with the amp, Id prob set the tank outside the cab

Sweet advice, and 4 YEARS AGO... it probably would have helped

xeromus doesn't seem to post round here much anymore either...looks like his last activity was about a half a year ago.
Crazy, I remember when he was a regular poster.
