Hello guys, first time here.
I got the DeVille for a couple months and it was simply great.
A few days ago I turned the amp on and the reverb didn't work, while I've increased the value of the reverb I could hear nothing but a little background noise.
2 days ago the reverb worked well, it was a miracle - but today it doesn't.. again.
Any idea of things I should try about it? (things I can do by myself)
I apprechiate any comment!! :)

Check 2 cable connection at the back of the amp. Push all tube to be sure they seat well in their socket . Wait if they are hot.

Amp is few months old = warranty.

What is happened between 2 days ago and now ? do you move the amp , gig it , drop it ?

Cheaply-made reverb tanks are just another turd floating in the Hot Rod Dvl/Dlx punchbowl. The tank on mine failed while sitting dead still in my living room.

If your amp remains under warranty, now's the time to cash in.

I got in the back of the amp 2 places to connect cables- one is connected and one is not. Is this the solution ? What cable should be connected there?

Reverb cable connections to the circuit board are circled in red. The other ends plug into the tank.

Then I suggest you take your amp to a good tech for repair.
