Thanks Dom: It's true that no Fender Tweed amp/circuit had reverb: first amp was the Vibroverb (circa 63-64). Every detail to the MKV's mini-toggles & switches seemed to be covered in the manual except what the CH1-Tweed setting did (or did nothing to) the reverb. That's the answer so to speak...

You're not odd man out at all. Except for a slight tweak between guitars with singles or buckers: pushing more air & the wonderful synergy of tubes/speakers being leaned on is sometimes all it takes.

You nailed it to a "T".

There has to be an answer or others who've encountered this reverb issue with MKV Ch-1 Tweed reverb absence. No mention of it from what I can see in the manual.

Same here: w/o the fan it's noiseless (virtually).

Brownie nailed it: remember that with active circuitry you're are "slamming the front end" of the amp's input (affecting the signal and everything that ensues). If the active circuit has a trim pot that you can adjust to get some variance & balance, adjust it. A few well-known guitarists use...

Some things that impact MKV tone (bedroom to studio to rehearsal to live situations)... 1. 6L6 switch to EL-34's or variations (KT-77, etc.) 2. Type of cabinet, speakers, open to tuned/ported to closed back cab... 3. Speakers being used in the cab(s) 4. Guitar(s) being used, single coils to...

My MKV Channel I Tweed makes reverb non-existent as well...and I'm about to compare JJ's versus Mullard 34's as well.

Preference of type, preference of brand...unclear?

Typo = Yes! Meant 34's. Dom: you got me!

amen...

Looks good... Slamming the front end with wahs and any distortion pedals (althought the MV can rip with either 6L6's or EL-84's), and putting modulation followed by any verb/delay (although the MV's reverb is tasty) in the loop should sound pretty good. Just possibly try to keep all cable...

Basically: 6L6's or 34's & brand.....

Just started a poll...and just dropped some Mullard EL34's in my MV with good results. But the real taste test will be when I test various NOS stuff I have in storage.

I'm using the Boogie 6L6's, but just ran some Mullard EL-34's in it and liked them as well. What are you using at the moment?

If you have not already...go check out The Gear Page and check their classifieds.

I used the V and the Thiele 1-12" EVM in a small club, using the 45 watt setting on all 3 channels, with a H20 pedal for a touch of chorus/delay in the loop + a little reverb. Bottom line: it was sweet no matter what I did to it. I used the PRS 24 the whole night, and the clean setting on...

Visit http://www.amplates.com for faceplates, grilles, etc. They should still be in existence.

the roost. Just brought back the head from the store and did the following... Set it up with the following cabs: Bogner Cube with Celestion Classic 80, Mesa Thiele EVM 1-12", and an Avatar Premier 212 with Celestion Classic 80's. It took on different characteristics with all three, especially in...
