Reverb Tank Mounting & Speaker Phase Questions

nasonm · December 21st, 2004, 03:00 PM

the amp I just got (fender london Reverb) has the reverb tanks in a bag (like most) but it's not screwed down too well. What the best way to screw down a reverb bag?

Should I use rubber washers to keep it off the cab?
Does it even matter?

Also, the speaker connection for this amp is a 1/4 phone jack. I have to make the cable myself using an unbalanced 1/4 male plug(not a problem). My question is this: Does the tip of the plug (blue wire) go to the + terminal of the speaker (the white wire woud run from the sleeve of the plug to the - terminal)?

Does this sound right?

the reverb bag is held down by two screws/finish washers like the back panel screws..did you buy the london reverb on HC for 90$ ish dollars?

they are good sounding amps for solid state

Yup....$110 Shipped. It doesn't look too shabby either. I have a Carvin 12" 100 Watt that'll be going in there soon.

At the very least, if I don't like it, I'm sure I can get my money back in re-sale.
