I purchased a Blues Jr. NOS that I had to return due to a tube problem. I have now received another one and am concerned about how the REVERB is functioning. To me, it seems to be hyper-sensitive. I feel that it would only be useable on the 1 and 2 settings; anything above that seems to be way too much.

I did notice a difference in the reverb tank on each of these amps. The first amp had a silver one with no writing. The second one has a black reverb tank with "accutronics" written on it.

Can anyone shed any light on this matter? I feel that I should be able to use more than the first 2 of the 12 settings on the reverb dial. Does anyone know why there would be a difference in the reverb tanks?

Thanks for any input.

I never liked the reverb on any of the HRD series amps. My HRDlx was horrible over 2 on the reverb dial too. Compared to a DRRI the HRD series is seriously too over the top and unnatural sounding.

the newer black tanks from Acutronics are made overseas, they are supposed to be to the same spec as the USA made tanks. It's under warranty you should have it looked at
