One of the springs in my old accutronics reverb tank blew, so I picked another one up for my Marshall 602. But I think i may have screwed up the wires (1 white, 1 red). :bonk Can anyone assist me in indentifying which goes where? Input ore Output???
Thanks a million!!!

That's correct.

Sorry, I didn't see the thread earlier.

Thanks everyone, cool sites Imschur! The weird thing is that it works both ways, but when set up "backwards", I get a howling noise as I turn it up.

Allright, I got it in and hooked up right, but when I turn the reverb up past 6, I get a steady low feedback type sound.....anyone? (the tubes are fine)

Move the cables around, might be too close to a tube or tranny.

And, are you SURE the tubes are fine?

Yeah, I'm sure. They're new EH's. And there's no way for me to move the wire any farther away from the tranny.

Just cause they are new, doesn't mean they aren't bad!

Yeah, I know, but I haven't had this problem until my last reverb tank blew and I put this one in.
