| I'm playing through a Sho-Bud Professional, a Sho-Bud pedal through a Session 400. Recently I developed a high frequency feedback. The feedback only happens when the reverb is turned above 4. The feedback problem isn't exclusive to the Session 400. It also occurred when I tried a different amp. Is this likely a feedback problem related to my pickups? I sure would appreciate any help. |

Tim,
I have exactly the same problem with my Session 400. I've tried to change positions of the rv tank, but to no avail. I love my Session but I can't figure this one out.
Being a tube amp junkie, I thought it might be something associated with solid state amps? I am looking forward to the replies.

p.s. by the way, I am playing a Fessenden SD10 with George L E-66's, Goodrich volume pedal and it also happens with or without my matchbox.

| Well, this one has been figured out. It appears as though the "overactive reverb" phenomena has created this problem. Apparently, this proximity issue develops from reverb coils sagging (time vs. gravity and hauling of the gear) or from simply a hot, sensitive reverb pan. Replacement of the reverb pan can solve the problem. Simply remove the pan from the amp, and place the pan near the amp while connected. If the problem goes away, order a new pan for about $40.00 and forget about it for a while. |

I'm glad that you guys figured this one out. I apologize for not posting to your problem sooner, but when I return from the weekend on Mondays, it takes awhile to catch up with e-mail messages the STEEL GUITAR FORUM.
For your information, you may order a replacement reverb pan(part #71011114) from your local authorized Peavey dealer or from our Parts Department here at the factory.
If I can be of assistance in the future, please don't hesitate to contact me toll free at the factory. My phone number is 1-877-732-8391. I'll be glad to assist.
