Filling The Tank
Guitar amps usually have their reverb tank mounted in the bottom of the cabinet and
sometimes in a padded vinyl bag. Most reverb tanks use RCA type cables to connect to
jacks on the amp chassis.
Some amps have jacks on the chassis to
disconnect the reverb tank RCA cables.
If the tank cables are hard-wired into the chassis
you can expose the tank and connect directly to it.
Once you have a connection point to the tank established, patch the front panel send and
reveive jack to the tank using ¼” to RCA cables. To ensure optimum signal transfer use high
quality cables with good shielding under 20 feet (6m) in length to and from the reverb tank.

OMNIPORT
If you have a Radial Workhorse 500 rack you can use the Omniport to connect the reverb
tank using a ¼” TRS insert cable. This cleans up the front panel and allows permanent
connection to a studio patchbay.
