I have a 2005 hot rod deluxe that the reverb hardly makes a sound even turned all the way up. When I shake or move the amp reverb tank it rattles like its supposed to but not much reverb to my sound when playing even with the knob is turned all the way up. What could be wrong?

The reverb signal is driven and recovered by op-amps -- I suspect one of them has taken a dump.

In the interim, check both the send and return cables between the tank and chassis to ensure that they're both fully seated. You never know......

+1Retroverbial. In addition, are the cables plugged into the correct jacks?

Anything happen before the loss of reverb? Dropped, worked on? Did it stop while playing?
