Matt	Re: Reissue Fender Reverb Mixer Cap Thanks, John. I was really dissappointed with the reverb unit. I don't know if it's a dud or that's the way they come. With all the controls at half way, the unit sounds real tinny and thin. I have to turn the tone control all the way off in order to start approximating the rev of a Princeton. I was expecting that I'd be able to dial in an overwhelming amt of rev, like on a DR, but the depth isn't even as much as my Princeton Rv. So I'm going to try the cap change, put in a 6K6 and hope for the best. I don't need overwhelming rev, but it's nice to have control. Heck at this point, I wouldn't even rate it worthy of surf! Matt
