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.

This is great news

ken, can u build those for an ltd 400 (old style)? if so send me a pm or email with the price and i will pick them up when u do my bassman head....thanks jack

Jack, I can build those when you come over. Still got to order more cable and RCA plugs. Got Molex connectors ordered for Nashville 400 amps

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

Yes sir. Makes a difference. I bought 100 ft roll. Works great

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.

These will work on the Special 130. Just a bit longer

Let us know if/when available
I definitely need one. Thanks for your efforts!

Eric, I sent a PM

Ken...please let us know when you put these up for sale...

Just got in 100!ft if the cable and the RCA plugs. Waiting on the Molex connectors

Thanks. Will announce under New Products ASAP

Ken, I have a Nashville 400 that I need a Reverb tank connection cable, it has the Molex connector. Do you still provide these?

Thanks,

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

Put me down for one when you get them built Ken!

I build as I get orders. I’ll get one ready ASAP and let you know. Thanks
