Is there any way to prevent that reverb crash
from occuring while on stage? I played last night on a stage that was not real solid, and the verb kept crashing as the stage bounced. I had to keep turning the verb completely off until things settled down. |

I always dreaded encountering a "shaky" stage because it meant I would have to play without reverb on my Session 500.....
I finally solved the problem by only using the reverb on my effects processer...and "never" using the reverb on the amp!

| You might get a reverb bag (about $8.00) ffrom someplace like Antique Electronics, Smart Parts, or Mojotone. That way the pan will be floating a little more and cushioned from shock better. I have done it to several of my older Peavey amp with good results. It looks cool, too! |

A quick fix that will work sometimes is to simply turn the amp up on it's end.  |

I just wonder if a person could make up a extra long send/return cable for the reverb pan,then you could try to locate the pan in a corner of stage that is more stable. Just not sure about signal loss by doing this?

Great suggestion Gary.....as that is exactly what I had to do on some of the stages I played my Spring Reverb.
I had an extra long input/output gold tip cables I got from Radio shack....and when it was that situation stage...I would just run the tank off the stage....and never had any signal or effect problem doing that.

| I never cared that much for spring reverb anyway and went to a digital on hall setting which is more natural. |

| The reverb on my Session 400 was too senitive to stage rocking from day one. One thing I have done to minimize it is to remount the reverb unit to the 'back' rather than the 'bottom' of the amp. This seems to give the springs more room for up & down movement without striking the housing. Not perfect, but better........... |
