If the reverb on the Hustler sounds bad, there is no telling if the tank is still original to the amp. A lot of things could have happened over the years even to an original tank.
I'd replace the tank on the sidewinder and then see if it sounds better than the Hustler, since both amps use the same exact circuit boards.
