Been so wrapped up in the reverb issue, I forgot to add, Taylor did get back to me. Offered to fix the amp for free even if the problem was simple enough. I'm just not super keen on shipping the amp that far. Taylor has been great though, we're working on finding a solution. I do apologize to him. I...

If you touch the two reverb cable tips together (instead of the pan), the reverb knob should act like a boost. If you have a signal increase this way, then you know the send and return work. Then the issue may be a bad or incorrect pan. My shop is in NJ if you are nearby...this should be a quick fi...

Been testing some reverb signal stuff. When you move the springs in the tank itself, the sounds of the springs can be heard through the amplifier. But when you actually play something, there's no reverb on the guitar signal. Could that be an issue on the "out" side of the reverb circuit?

Still looking for solutions unfortunately. A new RCA cable did not work. I emailed Taylor again for a quote to see if perhaps I could send him the chassis to look at.

If the recovery side of the reverb circuit is working as it should ( the cable that plugs into the output side of the pan) then with the reverb full up if you touch the center end of a known hood RCA cable plugged in there then you should hear a pretty strong deep buzz, almost like what you get fro...

turn your reverb knob all the way down. rca cable from reverb send to reverb return. now turn your amp on and play: as you turn up the reverb knob does it sound like a really loud treble booster? if so your reverb send and return are working and the problem is external to the amp (tank or rca cable...

Hey everyone. I'm running out of ideas here. My Amplified Nation Wonderland amp has been having reverb problems for a while now. The reverb used to be weak but now it isn't even working at all. I took it to a tech. He went over everything inside, reflowed etc. Said everything inside looked good. The...

Thanks for your replies everyone. I've tried emailing Taylor and the amp tech tried as well, but no luck yet. Understandable, Taylor's very busy no doubt. I ordered a new tank matching the part number of the old one. The transformer was a consideration as well. If the tank doesn't work I may address...

Hello folks. I have an older Amplified Nation Dirty Mayor (now called Dirty Wonderland.) Recently I took it to an amp tech because the reverb was not working. He went through the whole amp and concluded it has to be a problem with the tank. What are some good replacement tanks for the JM style circu...

Thank you for your input! I'll start with that reverb mixer first. Sounds like a good place to start. I'd love to post gut shots but I've never pulled a chassis before and I'm pretty weary of doing so without prior experience. It's a very early build so I'm sure Taylor's first layout should apply. I...

Hey all. I was hoping I could ask all the knowlegeable people on this forum about the reverb circuit in the JM two rock style amps, in this case an early Dirty Mayor from Amplified Nation. Now renamed Dirty Wonderland. The reverb has a "reverb +" switch, and the reverb is really weak without the swi...
