Need to Replace Reverb Tank

Post by oldangelmidnight »

I've got an old Peavey amp and the reverb tank is fucked up. I want to replace it but I don't know what to replace it with.

Both of these say they work with Peavey amps:
http://cgi.ebay.com/MOD-4EB2C1B-Reverb- ... 0708726621
http://cgi.ebay.com/MOD-9FB2A1C-Reverb- ... 0696534534

One has Input Impedance 600 Ohms, Output Impedance 2250 Ohms
and the other Input Impedance 1925 Ohms, Output Impedance 2575 Ohms

How important are those numbers? Will it break anything if I use the wrong one?

The manual for the amp is here: http://www.peavey.com/assets/literature ... 347000.pdf

ya, there should be a code or something on the tank and each number represents a different parameter of the tank. i remember mojotone had the breakdown of it in their catalouge, check out mojotone.com theyre prices looked reasonable/ ive never replaced or had to buy a tank so double check just to make sure
