Have you tried cleaning the reverb pot?

Do you have another tank that you could try? Maybe bad or loose transducers, in the tank.

Time to post some pics of the chassis circuit, imo. Are you aware of any mods or the last time the amp was serviced? Is the pedal original?

The amp was fully hand rewired. If the new reverb tank doesn’t solve it then I will pull it apart and take pictures of the circuit. Thanks for the help everyone. When I pulled the tank out it looked like soldering wasn’t very well done. Really hoping the tank fixes it.

I have a fender rca reverb/vibrato switch. It’s brand new, I purchased it to see if that would help.

The footswitch is only required to switch the reverb off -- otherwise it is always on.

Since it's a reverb only issue, leave your footswitch disconnected for the time being.

Check to make sure the nuts on the female reverb RCA jacks on the rear of the amp are tight enough to make a ground connection.

I checked the RCAs and they seem to be fitting correctly. I ordered a new set of RCAs and Tank. Just recently the Reverb started working fully. I still get a static noise that is intensified as the reverb is Tull knob is turned up. I replaced the tubes that associate with the Reverb as well.

Did you do what Arjay suggested? Clean the Reverb pot?
