Hello Forum, thanks for taking a minute to read my post. I am very new to amplification repair but always the DIY type and need some help.

I received a new Roland JC-120 Amplifier for Christmas 2008. I never tried the reverb before last weekend unfortunately, and low and behold it did not work. I called Roland and it is no longer under warranty and the closest repair shop is about an hour and a half away. So I figured I would open it up and see what could be obviously wrong with the reverb tank, i.e. broken spring or wire.

I did find a broken tiny blue wire inside the tank on the input plug. I soldered it back to where it was and fired it up. I still get no reverb. I have checked all internal connections OK, and everything else (chorus, vibrato) works perfectly in the amp.

So i am stumped and seek wisdom from someone who knows these amps. Are there any other things I try or check before I order a replacement tank?

Thanks in advance to any and all replies.

Cheers,

Joe
