I used my 2x10/2x12 Kustom cab and head for guitar the other night. I have just gotten a new Rickenbacker and the Kustom is one of the best sounding amps that I have for it. However the reverb is not working. Is that pretty simple to repair?

Many times it is simply a loose wire or broken wire in the reverb pan....but there can be circuit issues as well. Pull the amp from the cabinet and check the two RCA connectors first....then uncover the pan and see what is inside. KEEP AWAY FROM THE FILTER CAPS! Look very close at the coils where the connections are made. There should be one at each end of the pan between the springs and the RCA cables. I have seen several of these with broken connections. If this is the case try swapping in another pan. BC

Thanks BC I'll try that on it next and just see if everything is connected.

I took the head out of its cab and there are no loose wires. I did discover however that it causes the amp to hum when the reverb is turned up.
