I have a SilverFace Tube Reverb (I've never seen another) that I got new in the '70's. It sounds wonderful, but I recently tried the Boss Fender Reverb pedal and noticed that the tone control makes the Reverb sound very bright (and that the pedal sure doesn't sound much like the real thing - at least the Silver real thing). My tone control doesn't make it super bright, but it can make it a lot brighter than the Reverb on my SuperSonic 112 (the Tube Reverb sounds almost just like the SS 112's Reverb with the tone at 3 1/2. Anyways - should my Reverb unit get a lot brighter - like the pedal? I've never changed the tubes, but like I said it sounds great and is dead quiet.

IIRC the 6G15's tone control afforded only a limited range of sweep and didn't have a very dramatic effect at either extreme.

Are you putting the BOSS pedal between the guitar and the Reverb Unit? You may have an impedance mis-match, when the [guitar-> BOSS-> Reverb Unit] are hooked up in this fashion.

Perhaps try the BOSS Pedal in the SEND & RETURN part of the SS-112 circuit (?). And your tank in the usual position between the guitar and amp.
