The reverb on my 1968 Super Berkeley III solid state amp is barely audible. I hate to replace the pan or whatever other components until I get some ideas for what the problem could be. If it is an easier fix, that would be great. Other than that, the amp works fine and sounds good thru the Vox 2-10 cabinet.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Have you had the amp apart and the tank out to look at ?
If your are getting some reverb then the drive amp feeding the tank and the recovery amp on the output side of the tank are working, but maybe not the greatest .
If the amp has not had all the electrolytic caps in it replaced then it’s high time to do that .
I can tell you from doing that to my 1966 that’s it’s not a fun job!
I think I have the spec’s for the tank written down at home somewhere.
I will dig that out tomorrow and post it for you in the hopes that all you is a tank.
