I have an early 70's V2, the reverb worked fine for the last year (since I purchased it), and it suddenly stopped working. When the reverb dial is turned all the way up it has a very faint reverb, though nothing like the lush rich reverb it had before. All the tubes in the back glow when the amp is up and running, though I do not know which tubes are related to the reverb circuit. I understand it could be several things causing the reverb to not function. 1. bad reverb tank 2. bad reverb tank cables 3. bad tubes going to and from the reverb 4. bad footswitch, (though I don't own a footswitch) Anyone with practical experience related to my problem is welcome to give me some advice.
