O.K., I use this through a Marshall 4x10 cab for my clean sounds and a Dime D100 for my crunch sounds. Guitars I use the normal channel, Lap steel I use the bass channel.I have a volume pedal, A/B box and Corned Beef reverb pedal in the signal path to the Fender. I love the sound but not enough reverb for the lap steel. I would like to mod this amp for a reverb tank or an effects loop. I can get a reverb tank very cheap, but the Dime has an effects loop and good stereo processor would work with both amps. I would like your opinions and advise. Thanks, Grenade1.

Were it me, I'd grab a re-issue 6G15 reverb tank and use it out in front of the A/B box. It might also work well wired to your Dime's effects loop but some "experimentation" might be required to optimize the system.

Geez I can buy used Fender tanks all day long on Ebay for $425 -- even less once in a while (saw one go for $390 BIN about a month ago).

But if you're snobby and only prefer new gear, that's certainly your perogative.
