It´s sounds good but reverb is very subtle even to the max settings.

Under max settings almost no reverb sound

Sounds like a faulty pot?

I'd head down 66's road and roll in a few different tubes.


what amp?
what schematic?

I'd start by obtaining a schematic.

Some context is needed, eg is this your amp that you’ve had for a while and used to have plenty reverb?
Find some reviews, demos. It’s kinda essential to be sure that the reverb level is unusual, rather than normal.

Reverb use to be plenty and big. Know It´s like I can´t get more than 1/2 but when it´s maxed

I have one 2rock amp

Two Rock  https://www.two-rock.com/

The first thing I saw on their site is this quote about "classic reverb signature". So it should be "special", not a pen-spring in front of the speaker.

Reverbs usually work, hum, or don't-work. To be way down on volume is real strange. There's many ways (not just the Fender way) to do reverb. I suggest you ask Two-Tone for hints, clues, or even service information.
