I'm resurrecting an original Session 400 and will need a reverb tank. Can some of you guys, with more smarts than I, recommend the best way to go. Before accutronics moved off shore I had contacts there for reverb info. Thanks in advance. Bill

I'm hearing good things about the MOD line of reverb tanks as sold by www.antiqueelectronicsupply.com They're said to have the old '60's reverb sound.

They also sell Accutronics tanks, but I hear they are a different manufacture from the old ones.

Your old tank should have the model numbers stamped on the case.

I'm getting ready to order one myself for my NV400. I haven't heard them, but I'm going to take a chance.

I put a MOD in my Session 400 last year. Sounds excellent! Cured a dead original pan.

Just so you know, someone in another thread says the new MOD line of tanks is noisy....I don't have any experience with them so I can't say personally if they are a good replacement.

I think I read where TW and a few others, maybe Ken Fox, along with Mel here, had something good to say about them.

I may hold up on my order pending further input. Confused

I have several Mod tanks in my amps, all great!
A few years ago I A/B tested several for my "Twin" build, an old Gibbs, an old Accutronics, (both 4 series), a new 9 series Accutronics, and a new Mod 4 series long delay, I like the Mod best.
I installed a new Mod in a franken/Peavey just last year, and it is as good as any other.

That was me. Since I posted that, I went and checked to make sure I ordered the right part number. I did but then I noticed I somehow had a 12ax7 driving the tank. No wonder it was so sensitive! I switched it for an 12at7 and it's much better. I retract my statement. The MOD sounds fine now. Sorry for the mis-speak!
