direct replacement for your tank is a 4BB2A1B, a 4BB3C1B would give the same long decay as a the Fender Twin tank. The Fender twin tank # is 4AB3C1B, you cannot drop that one in directly since your reverb drive is outputing 150ohms versus the Fender's 8ohm.

You will need to ground the input of the 4BB3C1B for it to be correct... a direct fit impedance and input/output type would be 4BB3A1B, but I didn't see one of those listed on that page.

here's the part # decoder for the Type 4 tanks...

River Rat ( or anyone )
Does the 'verb tank NEED to be in the bag ?
Or can I let it flop around in there sans bag ?
maybe the 'verb needs to be enclosed ?
Questions I ponder at night .....
