I have a Blue Knob LTD 400 that I need to change the reverb tank out. It is not the original in it so I do not know what it should be. Would like to get an original one for it. Can anyone help? Thanks, J.R.

The tank must be in the cabinet with the connections facing the front of the amp.
From the rear of the cabinet and looking at the tank, the tank's output is on your right, away from the power transformer and the electrical cord connection to the amp.
You need to then verify that the cables were not actually wired wrong at the factory. The cable that goes to the tank output must be the one going to the reverb input. Easy to verify. Remove the cable from the output of the reverb tank (to the right, facing the back of the amp). Turn the reverb control up to around 3 or 4, touch the end of the RCA connector. That should produce a noise in the amp. If not then check the cable to the left. If it produces noise the tank wiring is backwards at the connector that goes into the bottom of the amp. That will cause the hum you have mentioned.
Below is a drawing of the Nashville 400 amp reverb. Same tank and orientation in the amp for your N112

To get to the link, try this:
https://1drv.ms/u/s%21Aj63bgVcumCMyTACmX_S8r2i30D2
The problem is that bbcode apparently doesn't handle the ! character in a URL tag. I replaced ! with its URL encoded equivalent, %21, and enclosed it in a URL tag - i.e.,
| Code: |
| [url]https://1drv.ms/u/s%21Aj63bgVcumCMyTACmX_S8r2i30D2[/url] |
Edit - I see that I composed this while Ken was making last post with the info directly on here. |

| I prefer the mod tanks myself. All of them are made overseas now. |

I use both. Haven't ad any problems at all with the new Accutronics tanks. "made overseas" is relatively meaningless nowadays as far as quality goes.
