    Default Help with reverb issue on my Fender Twin

    Hello everyone, I tried to search for this issue, but did not find one that could help me out, so here goes:

    I have a Fender Twin from ~1997 or so. This amp is the one with the three channels and the pull knobs. Anyways, the reverb works fine on the gain channel, but I get nothing on either the clean or the semi-gain channel. Any ideas on what might be wrong? I did move this amp for a jam session I had recently, and the reverb was working find then. Thanks, and let me know if more information is needed...

    Is it THIS ONE ore the RedKnob Version?

    There was another reverb-problem with a twin, HERE - maybe you can find some help there, but the problem was a bit different.

    Yes, it is a redknob version.

    I did see that particular post, but it's not helping with my present issue. Thanks for your response...

    UPDATED: Looks like the culprit is a bum tube. It appears that #4 might be barely alive, but definitely on it's last legs. so this poses a new question, I've actually never replaced tubes on my amp before, do they need to be replaced in pairs?

    Only the power valves need to replaced as a set (4 on your Twin). Preamp valves can be swapped at will.
    Electric: Fat strat > Korg PB > TS7 > DS1 > DD-20 > Cube 60 (Fender model)

    Acoustic: Guitar > microphone > audience
