Hey there everybody.....

Tell me about reverb tanks and tones....One of my K100C-8 Kustoms developed feedback when I'd run the feedback above 50% level. It's been an ongoing problem that I have cured a few times by putting a rubber cover over the opening above the springs and taping off the areas where the rubber touches the reverb pan to make a good seal...But after several months the reverb feedback starts creeping back up.

In the past I put in a couple new reverb tanks, but to my ear, they seem to take away a little of the sparkly hi end treble I like. But this time I put in a reverb tank out of a K150 head I bought for parts. Now there is zero feedback even with the reverb maxxed out. The K150 reverb tank and the original K100 reverb tank have the same numbers on them. But also, the K150 reverb tank has added noticably more high end sparkly treble which I like. This amount of treble is equal to another K100C-8's tone that I have. And my 3rd K100C-8 has noticably more bass.

So my question is this. What is it about different reverb tanks that are identical and the newer correct replacement reverb tanks that causes the amp's tone to change from tank to tank? The tone change is definately noticably different, but not drastic.
