"Any amp using a two spring tank may have its tank replaced by a three spring tank of the same impedance code (for example, 4AB3C1B vs.9AB3C1B) and vice versa. This will also change the sound characteristics of the reverberation effect. Three spring tanks have a more smoothed out flutter with a bigger, fuller sounding reverb effect and more lows. Two spring tanks have more flutter and grit, they also seem to capture that vintage 1960s vibe better."

If you have a 14" two spring tank and like to fine tune it to your preference you can use adhesive weather strip to lightly mute and shorten up on on one spring and change the delay
