PRS SE30 Amp - issues

[Paul Reed Slut]

Evening Brothers,

Can anyone advise why my reverb tank isn’t working - common problems/solutions etc?

Also I need to replace some broken knobs. Are replacements available anywhere (Australia ideally)?

Thanks in advance

What are the symptoms besides not working? Do you get anything from any channel? If you dime the control and pound your fist on the top of the cab, anything? Have you changed the tube yet?

Yes to tube change (not sure which is the reverb one - can’t find schematic - so changed them all). No avail. Banging the top made no sound either. Found this thread - seems a common problem but no culprit or solution

reverb transformers can go bad, you would have to take it in for service to be sure unless you are handy with a meter and know how transformers are supposed to work.

One common problem with lots of brands of reverb is the cables going to and from the reverb tank. Sometimes they get unplugged, short, or just don’t make good connections.

Not saying this is your amp’s issue, but worth looking at.
