Ray Ivers	Re: Reverb feedback? Brett, There are two methods I've seen used to minimize this problem: 1) 'Fender' method - open side of reverb tank is covered with cardboard or thin wood, and then is placed inside a Tolex bag and screwed to the inside of the amp cab. Works pretty well. 2) 'Weatherstripping' method (maybe I'm the only one who's used it) - put four soft rubber grommets in reverb tank mounting holes, then line remaining bottom flange area with thick, dense adhesive weatherstripping from Home Depot or similar place. Then use wood screws w/washers thru the grommets into the inside of the cabinet (don't tighten too tight). This method worked pretty well, too - it basically uses the amp cabinet to do the same job the cardboard/wood does on the other method, and has a bit more vibration isolation. Ray Ivers R.A.G.E.
