Music Man RD50 dead reverb tank

My reverb tank does not work in my RD50. I am curious in replacing it, does anyone know what reverb tank is in the amp head and what's a great tank to put into the head? I just bought it this week.

It may not be dead

Hello,

if you look in the schematic, it tells you what the reverb tank is. It's type 8BB2A1B . You can either get a replacement Accutronics part or find the MOD equivalent which is a bit more expensive but also a bit higher build quality (in my opinion).

If you take the tank out of the bag and remove the cardboard cover you may be able to repair the tank - quite often the small wires connecting the transducers to the rca sockets break off and in some cases they can be soldered back on.

It's worth a look-see anyway.

Sincerely,
Lars Verholt

I'm with LMV on this one....

I'm with LMV on this one.... check the tank. I've had to re-solder those little wires in both of my Musicman amps.
