Steve Dallman	Re: fold back reverbs I recently bought a Champ 12 which uses this type of reverb. It didn't sound very good. The reverb 'tank' is in the amp head and was missing one of the 2 springs. I rebuilt a full size, 3 spring Acutronics tank, chopping it down to 15". It is a decent servicable sound now. I tried several tanks. My favorite, long decay, full size 3 spring sounded the best, very close to classic fender. Look up the schematic for a Fender Champ 12 and you will see the basic circuit.
