All about Static of the Gods: Post Details

So we finally got around to taking a look at the reverb tank in the AC30 (that’s the thing that make’s all the cool, dreamy sounds).  Sure enough, the thing is all sorts of broke.

There is supposed to be 3 springs stretched from one end of the tank to the other, but none (which is what we have) is decidedly less than the aforementioned 3.  I’ve read reports of other AC30 owners having similar issues, so it seems that the stock reverb tank is pretty cheap.

I spent awhile today trying to track a new one down, but I didn’t have much luck – at least not if i wanted one sooner than “a few weeks” anyway.   I think our best bet now is to bring it in the Mr. Amp Dr. and she if they can get it fixed sooner.

In the end, the amp needs to get looked at anyway, so I now is as good a time as any.  That Fender Twin we’ve been looking at may need to be aquired sooner rather than later to take the AC30’s place.
