Title: Reverb Question
Post by: dunner84 on November 10, 2015, 06:35:46 am

Hello,

I am currently building a Vibrolux type amp, and it is my first build with built in reverb. I won't have the tank for about a month after I am finished the build, and I was wondering if the amp was playable without the tank. I am concerned about damaging the reverb driver because it won't be seeing a load.

What are my limitations for testing the amp without the tank installed?

Thanks,

JD

I doubt any harm will come but just to be sure pull the 12AT7 reverb driver and it will be perfectly safe to do anything you want to the amp.
