Better reverb cable assembly for Nashville 400

Post by Ken Fox »

Been thinking about building an improved cable assembly
for a while. These are made with braided style like old Fender amps used. Also covered with a clear shrink tubing to assure the tanks to assure that the input to the tank does not get grounded out to the reverb can. The tanks used in Peavey amps have an isolated input from the tank chassis.

I built four sets so far. Once I get a price point I may get these up on my website.

+1 on the heat shrink!
I built a set, and used some of the exposed shield cable. I had to go back and insulate!

Might be advantageous to build them with GOLD pins.

Would this work on a Special 130? I tried to find a replacement cable and could not find a source.

Ken, looks like you're terminating the shields at both ends... IIRC this depends on the tank having one ground connection lifted, right? To prevent hum?

Built exact like a Peavey cable. The RCA tank input shield connection is isolated at the tank
Tank is typically
9EB2C1B
Or
4EB2C1B


DIGIT #1 - REVERB TYPE
8 = short tank, three springs
4 = long tank, two springs
9 = long tank, three springs

DIGIT #2 - INPUT IMPEDANCE
A = 8 Ohm
B = 150 Ohm
C = 200 Ohm
D = 250 Ohm
E = 600 Ohm
F = 1475 Ohm

DIGIT #3 - OUTPUT IMPEDANCE
A = 500 Ohm
B = 2250 Ohm
C = 10000 Ohm

DIGIT #4 - DECAY TIME
1 = Short (1.2 to 2.0 sec)
2 = Medium (1.75 to 3.0 sec)
3 = Long (2.75 to 4.0 sec)

DIGIT #5 - CONNECTORS
A = Input Grounded / Output Grounded
B = Input Grounded / Output Insulated
C = Input Insulated / Output Grounded
D = Input Insulated / Output Insulated
E = No Outer Channel

DIGIT #6 - LOCKING DEVICES
1 = No Lock

DIGIT #7 - MOUNTING PLANE
A = Horizontal Open Side Up
B = Horizontal Open Side Down
C = Vertical Connectors Up
D = Vertical Connectors Down
E = On End Input Up
F = On End Output Up
