Link to eBay auction of this Gibson GA2RVT also posted in another thread. 'Accordian/Maestro' version of the Gibson GA19RVT tweed/crest 'Falcon':

Schematic of this amp from the Gibson Master Service Manual ... note magenta box in the middle ... that's the symbol for a reverb can:

Okay: so where is the reverb can: dotted line indicates where usually found:

Allright; I didn't find the can ... how about tracing the cables ....:

In the pic above, it looks like the two to/from reverb cables are tied together at the red oval.

I asked the seller: Hi; cool amp! From the pictures, it doesn't look like there's a reverb can in the bottom of the amp and it doesn't show on the vertical sides ... is there one there? It looks like the reverb in/out cables are tied together ... does it have reverb that works? Thank you.

.. and he said: Reverb works great!!! No can

So ... before the age of on-board digital reverb ending the need for a bulky can, this one that's supposed to have a can works well without one ... :shock: :evil: :shock: :evil:

Confused in West Palm ...
