I had a surf band back in the mid 60's. Our lead guitar had one these with a Gibson guitar. It had the true surf "reverb drenched" sound. You could kick it and the springs would crash as in "Wipeout" intro.
Here's a tip. If your 63 Reissue Fender Tube Reverb Tank isn't sounding as good as it used to, check that the bracket which holds the pan in place when travelling is releasing properly. If it still touches the pan it cuts down the sound greatly, particularly with a MOD pan which seems to be a slightly different shape.
The main difference between the reissue and the original issue...the weight! The cabinet is heavy plywood, the old ones were pine...weighed about half what the newer one does.
Late to the game ... mine showed up with an RCA 6K6 installed, and it sounds great. Not sure how a 6V6 would change the sound. I guess I should experiment, but I'm happy with what I have.

very good, I have experience in designing tube amplifiers

Wow.. another amp tech guy! Nice!
Excellent
Did you find out if you can swap the 6K6 in without re-bias?
From what I can see, it looks like a direct swap.
I would definitely monitor the unit after the change.

Circuit board and I'm out.No more circuit boards on my equipment!
All electronics have circuit boards...I guess you'll never use electronics
@@musicofanatic I don't consider point to point electronics circuit boards.
@@musicofanatic let me clarify. I used the wrong term. I mean the green motherboard that warps over time from the heat of tubes.
@@barryedwards5183 your comment finally makes sense.
This is so stiff it's hard to get in there.. lol
Lol, seems counterintuitive doesn't it?
