Just bought a Twin for a great price. New output tubes. All other tubes are orignal. When I use the reverb it doesn't hardly make a difference. Something changes but doesn't add reverb. Everything else works except the reverb. Tubes possibly bad ? Other suggestions ? I believe V5 & V7 have to do with the reverb.

Check your reverb tank cabling and inspect both the plugs and the jacks for corrosion (clean with De-Oxit if necessary). If all looks copasetic, take a DVM and check for continuity between the in/out jacks of the reverb tank itself. If it reads "open", the tank is your culprit.

End up being one of the spring ends broke clean off in the reverb tank. Guess you just never know. Thanks for the response

This seems to be an all-too-common malady with the import reverb tanks.
