Comments:
- Reverb In, Reverb Out, and Footswitch jacks are located under the chassis.
- The prototype reverb unit’s “grille” was covered in brown Tolex.
- The cosmetics of the production models matched the amps. White Tolex w/ maroon grille, brown tolex w/ wheat grille, black tolex w/ silver sparkle grille, etc.
Really looking for a tweed option
Mine has leather handle, black control plate, and silver sparkle covering, sparkle cloth. Should be 1963.
I have 5 Fender tank reverb units. 2 vintage 3 reissue. I’m trying to find chrome faceplates for them. Just like the amps. I wanna put chicken knobs on them too.
Gotta have chicken knobs! Do you have them or know where I can get them?
Thank You
