Safe to disconnect reverb tank from Mark IV?

Post by wiiqwertyuiop » Thu Aug 23, 2018 5:03 pm

I never use the reverb on my Mark IV, is it safe to run the mark iv without the reverb tank attached?

Absolutely - no issue at all.

My tech (Lowell Amps) recommends pulling the tube as well.

If you did that, the amp would have no sound - V3 and V4 necessary. There is absolutely no need to remove the reverb driver/return tube when using the amp after disconnecting the reverb tank wires.
