Hey yeah, I got one of those Crate v50's from the blowout and after a speaker change and a bit of modding its all good. Now I'm looking at making the reverb switchable, by using the relay of the boost switch. Not sure how to do this though. So to cut the reverb I would cut the signal going to the reverb tanks? So perhaps I could connect the relay into the path of the reverb... any suggestions?

The quick and easy thing would be to ground the signal at the wiper of the reverb level pot. If you want put a 470 ohm resistor in series with the output of the reverb recovery op amp for when the reverb level is set to zero on the pot.
